August Snapshots

This month we went to the Greene County Fair, Josh had a business trip to Cali, we spent a lot of time with Brights, spent a great weekend with The Wilcoxes and all our local Cedarville friends. We drove up to Michigan for a great visit with Josh's parents. Michelle did lots and lots of sewing. :)

"New cousins" - what Ella calls Lilly and Kloe Bright

"Tan I have the teys? I want to dive! I'm diving!"

"Tan Afiwa go on my back?"

Legitimately running

Asserting herself with Elsie and Lilly by refusing to do what they want her too. So proud.

"Where's our kids going?" She started calling Brett and Amanda "my kids" or "ours kids"

Talking to Ella about when she was in my belly. "Tan I go back in there?" 
"You're too big to go in there!"
"When I'm dil (little)? And then I tome out?... You rememer when there was a dill baby in my belly and den it tame out?"

"Dis is awesome!"

"Gramma's carseat is awesome. Is dis seat awesome?" (It was forward-facing, of course)

"I tannot have/say/do dis, but I TAN have/say/do dis."

Had her first cousin sleep-over....with Mama next to her!

6 Months

Half a year! Oh my!

13#10, 26"
This girl is intense. She feels so very intensely. Happiness, sadness, disappointment. It is the best word to describe her. In general she is so, so happy. 
Starting to work on those fine motor skills: passing an object from one hand to another, watching her hands, and a pincer grasp motion here and there. 
Starting to see some object permanence and gets SO sad when I leave the room for a moment, keeps looking for me, and is SO happy when I come back. 
Still doing her inchworm thang. Savvily gets herself to sitting and can get up on her knees. Starting to show interest in standing. 
Loves laughing with Ella and still loves her hair
Grabs her own hair (and belly and diaper) and rubs her eyes when she's sleepy
Has a tiny speck of yellow in her irises just above the pupils
Her hair continues to look light orange/auburn
