Another amazing week with this sweet girl. I'm sorry, I know I gush about her, but she is truly just so sweet. She smiles so much. She laughs and giggles and even squeals with happiness. She talks so much more, jabbering with lots of 'dadadas' and 'hiiiissss.' She wants to learn, reach, touch, grab, discover, taste, explore - she seems so hungry for 'new' and when she gets that out-of-reach toy or what not she goes 'ahhhh.' It's hilarious. We tell her all the time, "there is nothing we don't love about you." And it's true - we love her little face and hair swirl, her two bottom teeth, her very small feet and somewhat large hands, her fabulously chubby legs, her infectious laugh, her awesome eyebrows, her many (many!) expressions - I could go on and on. We just think she is such a special girl and can't believe that we're lucky enough to get to be her parents. <gush over... maybe..> :)

Likes:

• Yoga. But for real, she does that position a ton and moves forward a good bit but mostly backward. She seems to enjoy wallowing around on the floor!
• The new straw sippy cups. SO much better, she just can't tip up those others!
• Jumping in our laps while squealing
• Sitting up, especially when she can dig through toy bins
• Her top - she spins it around, especially on her high chair because it has 'guard rails'
• Her activity table with the two legs off (still a fave!)
• Yellow Squash. She wasn't like all over it or anything but she didn't hate it.. like she did the chicken.

Dislikes:

• Does the thought of pureed chicken make you gag? If so, you and Beckett have something in common. She made a horrible face and literally gagged and stuck her little fingers in her mouth to assist the chicken's retrieval. She was utterly disgusted. Eek! Perhaps we have a vegetarian on our hands? We'll try, try again later.
• When you take thing away from her she shouldn't have, like iPhones, iPads, cords, remote controls. She doesn't cry (yet) but she does give you kind of a stink eye until she's redirected.
