jovie 8 months

As I told your sister, this Christmas was a bit of a bust. We got a ludicrous amount of snow and things did not go as I had planned. I am not going to dwell on it, I am going to hope for next year to be better. So you will have to forgive the brevity of this love letter.

From Adventures in Manual Mode

This month you demonstrated that you can clap- really clap! I know that is perhaps silly- I don't care. It is adorable. I also think you are really close to crawling, as you have started to army crawl to get to things you want. You get really angry about it, but you still try to do it.

Apparently you have also inherited my sleep screaming/talking. And you are demonstrating it at this young of an age. Daddy is not so excited to have a house full of nocturnally screaming females. He is outnumbered, so he really has no say in the matter anyways!!!

Of course, this month you demonstrated that you only want to say his name. I think you forgot Mamma? Actually you didn't. You only say it when I am at work on Mondays, or when I am in the other room and you are TICKED OFF. You would rather say Dadda. Dadda dadda dadda. Sheesh. I know your daddy loves it, but he does not gloat- he just smiles... It is the same goofy smile that he flashed me on the day I fell for him. I imagine by the time you read this, you will know it well.

You also say cat or "cat cat." I do not happen to like our cats much these days- they are stinky and they leave fur on everything I own- and they barf a lot~ But those little furry barf-balls make you giggle. So we will keep them around for a while.

Really that is all that has been going on around here- except for the pink eye. We have had the joy of passing that around the house. Daddy dodged it. Not cool Daddy.

More next month- Sorry this one is so bare.

I love you love you. And love you some more!

Kissies,

Mamma
