Growing Pains....

Since when did my little tiny.... (tiny is an understatement you were 8 lbs at birth) baby girl decide to make time fly on by? I miss the constant cuddles, the sounds, the sweetness of your little self, the newborn clothes, the smallness of your little hands and feet, and mostly just the fact that you were my little baby.

Now your 7 months old and getting so big, and into everything. You love your blankie, your kitty and bunny. You love to read, be tickled, play with Dad and Mom and if your tired enough to slow down you give us snuggles. You have the cutest giggle, and love looking at yourself in the mirror. You give kisses, both on our faces by biting our cheek, and doing an eskimo kiss if your not distracted. You love putting anything and everything in your mouth. You say "Da da" although you dont know yet what that means. You gibber jabber all the time. You love to twist your tongue and bite it. You love your bath's and anything dealing with water. You love to go on runs and walks with mom, and most of the time just observe whats going on around you. Your curiosity always gets the best of you. You are always giving big smiles to anyone you see. You love to swing, and sit in the grass. Your little chunky feet are super ticklish, and Dad loves to munch on them. Compared to all the other littler girls your age you are almost a head taller than them, which is so funny to Mom. You got your first tooth at the end of June and now have a second one coming in. Mom and Dad love your little thighs, thick feet and dimpled hands. We are loving this stage you are in Miss Lu. You are so sweet, and you seem to be a little tender hearted at times. You hate being left alone, and would rather be Mom's constant buddy. You love when Daddy gets home and get all excited and happy to see him. You love to scream and hear your own voice, especially during church. You are so close to crawling, although its great to see you grow and change, we miss how little you once were. It seems like a distant memory to us. You love water bottles, and pulling hair. You think sponge bob is entertaining. You love to touch anything with buttons. Finally you love playing peek-a-boo with your blankie or hats.  

Miss Lula we love you so much. You bring such a light into our lives that nothing else but your little spirt could. We are loving being your parents, and are grateful that you are our's for eternity. Thank you for the smart, intellectual little girl you already are. We love you, Sis!
