This month in the land of make believe. . .

We have had such exciting and adventurous times!

We've wrestled with and defeated Daddy.

 We rode bucking broncos.

 Did art projects with best friends

we read tons of exciting books

 Played. a lot!

colored beautiful masterpieces.

 dressed ourselves and were just generally super cool.

 Played with shaving cream.

some liked it more than others. . .

                                      

                                      

we begged to brush teeth. "tee!"

we were ridiculously cute.

We dressed up like cave girls

 and played forever in our cave

We practiced feeding ourselves using "boops".

 we hung out with some of our favorite guys. If Papa had been here, it would have been perfect.

 We had a photo shoot that almost sent mommy over the edge (Phia Kate!) but ended up making her SO HAPPY!

 Roo had her first soccer game of the season.

Obviously she is skilled at this sport!

GO GIRL GO!

Getting a pep talk from Daddy.

We visited with Nana while cheering for sister.

 We explored!

and laughed!

And nearly killed mommy with cuteness.

We climbed.

And jumped.

We helped Mommy a lot.

We snuggled.

                                      

And after all of that excitement, we rested. 

What's Up

Phia Kate

you say and make motions for "looong neck" for giraffes.

hoot like an owl

cock-a-doodle-doo for a rooster

bang on your chest and make grunting sounds for a gorilla

say tanks (thanks) 

say poppo for hippo
say NOPE! instead of no

do motions to twinkle & itsy bitsy
your verbal skills are growing daily

love smoothies

you hold my face, hug, and kiss me when we do your nap time song (LaLaLu). You are also starting to sing along which is adorable. When we are done you say night-night and blow kisses to me. 

love purses and bracelets and will use just about anything as a stand in if a real purse or bracelet isn't available. Your favorites are bras or panties. 

Silly girl!

You started walking the week before vacation

You love your crocks and wearing bella's on top of yours. You are quite "boo" obsessed. 

love socks.

say milk-meowk

say sorry-warry

say "me" when you want to be held.

Insist on using a "book" (spoon) when you are eating. This results in a lots of messes. A lot of extra laundry. A lot of frustration. And a LOT of laughs. 

Your favorite books are Spot the Dog books, Goodnight Gorilla, Good Morning/Good Night, and any picture books about animals.
You recognize the colors yellow and blue and show a preference for these two colors when given a choice. You are starting to recognize red. You don't seem to care for the color green-you say "nope!" every time I try to give you anything green.
