You are getting lots more teeth, almost six on top and about three or four on bottom. I don't know if you are just trying them out or what but you have taken to biting my legs! Not hard but just enough to show me you have them I guess. It's kinda cute right now, but not for long!
You and your Papa made ginger bread men the other day, only Chris got the recipe off the Internet and did not read the reviews which said it was the worst gingerbread recipe ever! So what you ended up with were rock solid ginger bread men! But they smelled delicious when I came home. I tried to bite into one...unsuccessfully and then tried to soak it in milk for several minutes and I still was unable to eat it! The real funny thing is that you love them!! I don't know how you eat it, but you gnaw and gnaw at it till it dissolves and you are left with ginger colored drool down your shirt.
Your favorite (only) movie you watch is "Shrek". You particularly like Donkey and when the music plays you dance by turning in circles and moving your arms all around! You make your self dizzy and usually fall down. It is truly cute. Hopefully I can get it on video and post it here.
You have started to love reading. We read in the morning and in the evening before bed and if I am home you ask to read before naps. You either gather the ones you want to read and bring them to our reading chair or I hold a selection in front of you and you will point to the one you want. I know you are happy about your selection when you lean back into my arms and snuggle in to enjoy. I really need to get you some more books!
I thought by now I would have the "mommy look" down. But my sharp "no" and stern face does not even phase you! Usually you look back, smile and even more insulting...laugh and them go right on sticking whatever you can find into the electrical sockets!!!!
I do hope that one day I get the hang of discipline!
I have made a decision that I must find a way to work from home! Not because I really want to (although I do) or that I hate the workforce so much (cause I don't) but I have to because not being there to teach you and watch you grow literally breaks my heart! So hopefully by the time you are old enough to read this blog I will be working from home! I am very lost and scared about how to make that happen and overwhelmed by the hard work, sacrifice, and rejection it will take, but I love you so much that for me and my heart, I have no choice!
I love you,
Mommy
