new boops, etc

this little booger is SO MUCH FUN these days. what did i find entertaining before she came along?


laurel got some new pink "boops" last week and she's obsessed with them. mommy thinks they're pretty cute, too!


laurel loves pushing her baby in her stroller and loves to carry around her purses. she looks so big in these pictures!


playing with play-doh, helping mommy cook, and just being silly!

there are so many things that this little girl does everyday to make us smile. here are a few that i can think of at the moment:

+ when pat gets her up in the morning, she immediately asks for her micky (milk) and repeats this 3 times during the day. she LOVES milk.

+ she says "okay" as much as she says "no." which one do you think we like to hear?

+ she has switched from "mama" and "dada" to "mommy" and "daddy." i love hearing her call me, usually...

+ she loves to talk about "abbi-bops" and "tissy-buh-dee." how blessed is she to have 2 sets of grandparents who love her to pieces?!

+ she loves to say "pop goes da WEE-ZEE." don't know where this came from...

+ sometimes when we're out and about, she'll look up at me and say "home. daddy."

+ she is a terrific nose-blower

+ she can (sometimes) feed herself with her spoon without making a huge mess

+ she LOVES cheese. wants it all the time.

+ i can't believe i haven't written this one yet. she spends most of her day opening and closing doors. i don't understand the fascination. she has gotten in trouble a few times for slamming doors in our faces.

+ she still loves her books. her favorite book AND video is "Goodnight Moon" also known around our house as "moo moo."

+ she loves apache - from a distance. she'll soon have to get used to him being around more when he becomes more of an inside dog in colorado. i hope they'll be big buddies!

+ she can tell which of her books are bibles. she'll bring one to us and say "bibee!" and every baby right now is "babee jeezee"

that's all for now. i need to go squeeze and tickle a precious little girl. i cannot get enough of her laugh. thank you, Lord, for this gift, this miracle, this blessing.

did you ever see the episode of John and Kate +8 where one of the little girls refers to boobs and boops? Your post made me think of that and laugh ;) Laurel and Amelia would get along well. They sound very similar. She just got some new "boot shoes" (what she calls them) from mimi and loves hers too!

Hi girls, just read your comment. Thank you so much for the hat! We love it and it is so cute...I've seen some postings with Laurel wearing hers.
If you don't really mind we'll skip the thank you note. We really appreciated it and Isabella is going to wear it for a long time!!!
I hope you are doing well and that we can get together before these girls go to school....time flies!!!! Love,
Renata and Isabella
