enjoy

Yesterday I came home and was in a good mood because I had accomplished stuff at work.  I also got some stuff done that I hadn't been able to do.  So when I went to put jammies on Nat, we had an impromptu wrestle and giggle session.  I was sitting on the floor and she plays a game where she pushes me over and I pull her on top of me and tickle her.  We then wrestle back and forth which leaves her in a fit of laughter. 

At some point, she says 'dop' while laughing hysterically and I let her roll onto the floor.  She was laying on my arm and we were both looking up at the ceiling.  She sighed after she got the giggles under control and then said 'ready, go' and launched at me for another tickle/giggle session.  This happened about 3 or 4 times before I said we had to stop for night night time.  I enjoyed just playing with her.  My heart truly was full.   I took a second and said thank you for blessing me with this moment.

more words

like Nana said some of her favorite words are 'ba-ba' which I am not sure where she got that for 'Nana' but I am guessing it is a combo for Nana and Papa.  They come in a match set typically to our house so it makes sense.

another fave is 'I heeeelp' - but i don't know how to put that one in letters exactly how she says it. 

and 'dop'  I can't forget dop!  dop is 'stop' for those of us who have trouble with 'st'.  and it works especially well when said to the big sister.

and of course there is the 'I do'.  when you are nearing 2 years old and you have a big sister, everything is an 'I do'.

one word that she learned quickly is 'stuck'.  lately this is for when she crawls out of her crib and gets stuck between the crib and the wall.  'Daddy!  Stuck!'  was just overheard from the monitor.

Words

Itty Bitty has been saying a lot lately:

"I knock" - when she knocks on any door.  Including when she locks herself into a room where she can't get out of.  If she knocks, it means someone will open the door... right?

"I coming" - if she wants us to wait for her, or when we say 'let's go'

Vail

We traveled to Vail via flight to Denver and car to Vail for our friend's wedding.  We traveled with Nat and in the grand scheme of traveling with an almost 2-year-old breastfeeding child, she did great!  I love the picture above.  It was just before the wedding and it was at 10,000+ feet.  I was worried about how she would do because she couldn't tell us if she was dizzy or her head hurt.  But, she was fine and playing... even spitting during the ceremony.
