I'm 20 Months.....(by Tage Daniel)
I'm 20 months old now and I'm learning to do so many things!
~I can sit up all by my self to play with my toys. I can even reach toys that are really far away!
~When I'm laying on my back, I can just roll over onto my tummy, real quick now. (it's really fun to do this when mama or dada is trying to change my diaper :0)
~Once I'm on my tummy, I can pretty much crawl up onto my hands and knees with only a little help!
~On my hands and knees, I like to bounce and imagine myself crawling...I can crawl with my arms when someone helps with my legs. Pretty soon I'll be crawling all by myself and then Huntlie better hold onto her toys!
~Sometimes I like to play with my toys sitting on my knees. This takes good balance.
~Speaking of Balance....I am getting stronger and stronger at balancing when I swing, sit on a bench, and sit on a therapy disc or big ball.
~I like to stand up when my mom or dad holds my hands. I'm starting to stand up straighter and I'm really tall! Wait till you see what I'll be able to do after my spine gets fixed in Denver.
~Hey, I'm learning to communicate better!
~I can say all these words with my hands...'please', 'more', 'water', 'all done', 'up', I can blow kisses, wave hi and bye, clap my hands, and point to things.
~I like to practice saying my sounds too. I try hard to say words like, mom, more, dad, duck, dog, book, ball, bubbles, boom, lion, up, nnnnnn
~I could even tell you what sounds a horse and a sheep make! I know what a cow says too and say mmm, but the O sound is a little tricky still.
~I still like to read books and can point to lots of things in pictures. I like eyes and teeth best!
~I can point to my own hair, tummy, toes, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears...but only when I feel like it. hehehe
~Oh ya, I can do lots of other things with my hands now too!
~I am just learning how to stack blocks on top of each other. I like to watch mom or dad make BIG towers. I have such control that I like to observe the build and check out the tower for a while before I gently knock it over! :0)
~That's fun, but I really like to put things in boxes and bowls....and then shake em!
~I think it's cool to "reel in" things, you know, like my oxygen tubes and pulse ox. My new pull toy puppy and Angie's alligator are fun to reel in too.
~I'm even getting better at putting the big puzzle pieces back in.
~I'm learning how to eat now.
~I LOVE to drink water from my bottle. I like milk, juice, and even my formula too.
~And I'm working on eating baby food. My favorite seems to be apples with blueberries. I took 25 bites in a row last week.
Some of my favorite things are...
Our neighborhood Ducks
My einstein books (and really ALL books)
Shaking my shakers! (oh ya, and I love my little sister)
Baking with my Mom

A Few Baby Thoughts...
~How can something SO tiny produce SO much laundry?
~and how can that tiny, sweet being produce something that smells SO bad?
~Did you ever think you'd have to talk about and think about poo-poos SO much?
~Why in the world do those tiny fingernails grow SO fast? and what is the trick in cutting them?
~Why is the other baby's toy always SO much more interesting?

10 Things I'm Loving....
My friend Hillary just did a blog post on the 10 things she's loving right now and I loved that idea. What a great way to reflect on the blessings in life today! So, here is my list of
"Ten Things I'm Loving Today...."
1. I absolutely Love my beautiful orange Anniversary flowers. They brighten our house! I also loved celebrating 7 years of marriage.
2. I love hearing the squeals of excitement when Tage hears his travel oxygen tank being filled. He loves to get out and about.
3. I love long walks on beautiful summer days.
4. I love shopping and finding great sales!
5. I love the quiet times nursing and snuggling with Huntlie...even those in the middle of the night.
6. I love good barbecue!
7. I love visits from old friends and family.
8. I love the Farmer's market.....Kettle Corn, Flathead Cherries, Pixie Boutique, Ona's pottery, Hot Mama Salsa, taste tests from Miller farms and Senoritas, and the little violinists (just to mention a few of my faves)!
9. I love living in a house with NO stairs!
10. I'm actually surprisingly enjoying life with No digital cable. I rarely turn the TV on anymore.
