20 months

You are such a smart, funny girl these days.  You can say so many words including: mama, dada, mamadada, willy (wrigley), mur-mur, momo, (Murray), up, down, wa-wa (a favorite of yours), ball, sit, more, and many many more.  You are a bossy little thing and constantly are telling everyone what to do (signaling "come on" with your hand, telling us where to sit and so on).  You love kisses and blowing raspberries.  You absolutely love the pool at our new house.  Dada and I were just talking about what to do thus afternoon and were discussing going swimming.  A minute later you came back into the family room holding your swim outfit.  I guess you made that decision for us :)  We love you so much and are having so much fun watching you grow.

We have a new bedtime routine. We eat dinner, go for a walk down the street, watch Sesame Street with a snack, take a bath, read a story in the rocking chair and then go to sleep.  You have added a final task onto this routine and require that your stuffed Elmo be tucked in with your mini blanket.  You sometimes make me tuck him in over and over again.

In July we went on a trip to Big Sur, CA and San Fransisco.  Your Uncle Carl, Aunt Sara and cousins visited for two nights and our friends Eric and Micah and their kids visited for a day.  We took trips to the beach which you generally did not like because you seem to hate the sand and the wind.  But we fed you snacks to try to keep you happy.  We took hikes through the woods, tried to carry you in the Ergo but instead carried you in our arms because you also decided that you hate the Ergo.  We saw massive Redwood trees.  We hiked to pretty beaches.

In SF we walked the streets and rode the trolley.  We walked up and down steep hills with Mom and Dad holding your hands.  You stopped at a store with some loud music to do a little dancing.

we went to cabo, landens wedding, vegas, moved to tucson........
