Isn't baby babbling wonderful? I LOVE IT! I truly do. Landry can say a total of (maybe) six words now, but of course, she's the smartest 14 month old there ever was. She no longer walks anywhere, she runs. She use to say apple juice for EVERYTHING. At a basketball game a few weeks ago, a mom leaned over and said, "Wow, she's so smart, she can say apple juice really well". I said yes, proudly, but then divulged that everything from pacifer to spaghetti to poopy diaper is "apple juice". That was the only word she knew at the time. Now, she can say things that sound like "dog", "Dad" (of course), "MaMa", "bubble", "bird" and what we think sounds like "NeNe" for Sydney and "ZZ" for MacKenzie. Oh and "Dora" and "Aire" (Claire).
She gets REALLY mad when she's told no -- that is still true for my 16 year old, so I'm quite use to that, just not the face with the bottom lip and ALL the tears. It almost makes you laugh, but that will really piss her off more. She loves being outside. She got use to running around barefoot this weekend. She had what we call at our house "orphan feet".
Babies are just so awesome.
Our neighbor, Angie, is pregnant with her first baby. Hopefully, her morning (all-day, everyday) sickness will subside very soon and she can begin to enjoy her pregnancy. She has about three weeks left in the first trimester, so hopefully she'll be feeling better soon. I remember all the un-knowns and wonderful feelings that first time around. It's funny how that can be so wonderful but the fourth can be just as wonderful because you know what to expect.
I am very blessed to have a happy baby this time around. I have indeed been blessed with the not-so-happy baby, but of course, I loved them just the same. It's just a little nicer on mom to have her happier :)
Here's to happy babies & babblings...
