     Hmmmm, could this be a news update? I think it is! I don't know where to start (I think I say that in every news post but it's true). They just grow up at lightspeed. The other day I was starting to get a cold so I sneezed and she ran over and said "bless, bless, daa-ee, bless?" and wouldn't stop until I said thank you baby......WHAT!?!? They just pick up on everything you say and do like little VCRs, excuse me, DVRs, it's 2006 for pete's sake. This girl can say at least 120 words, most of them are clear but some are not but we still know what she is saying. Another thing I find amazing is she has a humorous personality, she already knows what it means to play a joke or try to fool you and she also knows when you're messing with her, she understands gags and the concept behind it. We have these posters on her wall with all kinds of pictures and words on them, well, they're charts of different things and she kept pointing to this guy and saying "dog, dog" and I said "no baby thats a doctor, the dog is up there" but she got mad and said "DOG!, DOG!" so I got up to point the dog out to her and when I got closer I could see the "doctor" was actually a vet holding a dog so.....

     She also understands pretend because she has a book with pictures of food in it and she grabs a "handful" of it and takes a bite and says "mmmmmm" and then"feeds" me some which makes her giggle when I take a "bite".  It's actually a shame to try to sum up her advancements and personality in these few paragraphs but it's all we have. Let's see, she can run, jump, climb like a monkey, crawl up and down the steps (with us right behind or in front of her),  and one of her favorite things to do is feed pounds of "sheese" (cheese) to the dogs. She has alot of love for the dogs already and genuinely cares for them. It's amazing how she is already just a little person and not a baby, we still call her baby but she's not and it's actually very sad. Well that's all I have for now, Mommy said she is working on a news update but I don't know when it will be posted. Someone asked why there weren't as many pictures and news updates as in the past and it got us thinking about it when we finally realized it's because we spend all our time playing with her instead of looking at her and taking pictures! Till next time....
