sutton blue,
lots of exciting stuff going on in our lives! we are buying a new house and will be moving in two months! you will have a big yard to run around in and lots of pretty flowers to help me take care of. mommy and daddy are also working very hard on another top secret surprise for you :) so, needless to say, life has been busy.
you truly are my best girl in the whole wide world. your daddy and i love you so much. we still check on you a dozen of times during the night to make sure you are comfortable and sleeping well. you like to kick your blankets off, make them into a pile and then lay on top of them. you still wake up happy in the morning and i usually hear you yelling, "hi!!!" or "hello!!!" over and over again until one of us goes in and gets you. sometimes you yell "mama!!!!" and that's my favorite. you still love to run into our bed and snuggle while you drink your milk. it's my favorite part of the day.
you always ask for "minnie" after you're done drinking your milk. i like you to play and be creative with your imagination and not watch too much tv but i usually let you watch one "minnie" show in the morning while you eat your breakfast. your favorite episode is one where they give pluto a bath and big bubbles take over and mickey gets stuck in one. you always have to have your bubbles in hand when you watch it. you love to go outside and blow bubbles. who am i kidding? you love to blow bubbles anywhere and sometimes i even let you do it in the house. lately you hate when i take your picture and it makes me so so sad. i'm pretty sure its karma for all the pictures i took of you when you were defenseless. now you straight up throw the hand to me and say no. you aren't sassy at all ;) you still love to shake it to loud loud music. you are constantly going into your room, shutting the door and turning your cd player on and up as loud as it will go. i call them your one woman dance parties.
currently your two favorite movies are frozen and tangled. for a while it was frozen and only frozen. i forced tangled on you because i couldn't handle frozen one more time. i needed a healthy break. we both did. i don't let you watch movies every day but when i do you usually watch bits and pieces here and there because you are like me, too busy to sit still during a movie. you're a pretty picky eater these days. some of your staples are; avocado, cucumber, mac-n-cheese (organic so that's totally ok, right?), pizza (or pee-ya to you-this is what you ask for every meal. morning or night), any fruit, fruit snacks, cheese and chips. you seem to be healthy and still lead with that belly so i'm not too worried :) you also LOVE "mum" (aka gum) and are constantly snooping through my purse hunting for some. you love wipes of any form, baby or antibacterial. you never think one is enough and if i am not careful you could go through a pack in about 15 minutes. you love to help clean and throw things away for me. i love that you're such a sweet helper. you are also super duper mischievous and i love every bit of it. your favorite game still is to play hide-n-seek. you also love to watch track with your daddy. he even taught you how to get down into the proper race starting position and when he says "GO!" you get up and run laps around the couch as fast as you can. you really, really love when we read books to you. currently you have two that you are obsessed with; where did daddy's hair go? and walter the farting dog. yes, you love to read about the farting dog. we can thank grandma for buying you both of those books :) you are starting to talk more and more. you started saying "yep" instead of "yes" and it's possibly the cutest thing ever. you also started saying "more" with a crazy irish accent. it sounds like you are saying "marre". i love it and i hope it doesn't go away.
here's a glimpse of the many, many pictures i take of you. sorry.
