My little farty girl

Your Great Uncle Bobby and Great Grandfather Papa Pete Passed away last week.  They were two very important men on each side of your Dad's and My side of the family.  They were very loved and I feel terrible you will never know them.

There's been a lot going on since I've last posted about you.  I kept track of important and memorable things that I want to share with you.

First, last Tuesday you were sitting in Daddy's lap and you farted and did a growly ahhhhhhhh sound as you were doing it.  He and I just laughed and laughed.  You've also started being super expressive with your sounds.  You make squeals and squawks when you are upset.  If you are bored, you do it.  If you are not happy in the position you're in, you do it.  If we don't get your cues immediately you do it.. and the faces you make along with it are absolutely beautiful.  Daddy and I just laugh.  We have so much fun with you every day.

So, what has happened is:
We went to Mount Vernon to hang out with Daddy.  We love taking long drives with you.  You truly are the best baby to travel with.  We stopped for lunch at Red Robin which was perfect for you.  You were just talking and looking around BUT what did it for you was the ceiling fan right above you and the Television with baseball playing on the other side above you.  You were in stimulation heaven!  I also let you taste some fruit from my freckled fruit bowl.  You just love apples.  You were such a good girl. 

The next morning you woke up and you were sitting on Daddy's chest playing with us and you urped right on his chest and in his hair.  LOL we just laughed.  The next day you threw up a huge puddle on Daddy's batman shirt.  It was the biggest ever.  Daddy never minds it, he thinks it's funny and anticipates the next uprising.  LOL

We went to visit Papa Joe Joe on Friday, You visited him with Daddy on Thursday along with Aunt Jodie and Uncle Doug and G.G.  We saw everyone again and you had a great time until you got gas.  You love Papa's ceiling fan and you really enjoyed Aunt Jodie.  I dressed you in your cute chevron dress that the sent you in the mail.  You drooled all over it because you are in full force teething now.

On Saturday we went for Pho, it's nice to go there when you're not sick.  This is the first time I've been there in a long time where I wasn't sick.  You were so happy there.  You kept googly eyeing daddy and I.. and just talking so cute.  Everyone that works there was just complimenting you.  You tasted a lemon and the faces you made were so cute.  You didn't know what to make of it but you kept licking it.

We went to see the family out at Papa Pete's house.  At first you just cried because you didn't recognize a lot of people.  Daddy took you outback to soothe you and Uncle Bob held you and you started to calm down.  You really calmed down when Uncle Allen held you and talked to you.  You felt right at home and then just socialized the rest of the time.  You got cranky when you were tired but I gave you some good ole' boob and you fell right to sleep.  You slept all the way home.  Which, was a couple of hours because Daddy took one of his "short cuts".  As you get older you will learn that it's never a short cut.. but always fun.

We went to lake Padden on Sunday and Monday.  Daddy and I took you in your stroller and you really enjoyed it.  You didn't fall asleep at all you just strolled along and learned so many new smells, saw many interesting things like people running, people on bikes zooming by, and DUCKS.  Yes, ducks!!  The were walking all around you and up to me.  I took some photos of them.  I will re-edit this post and put the photos of those two days here.

You are such a wonderful child, we can take you anywhere.  Easy going Tildy <3

Last night we took you for a drive because you were over tired.  We went back out later that night because there was an Eclipse and a blood moon.  I wanted to experience that with you and your dad.  It won't happen again till you are 4 going on 5.  I'm excited.  Hopefully it's not as cloudy then.  It was really fun though.. and you truly love falling asleep on car rides.  Just like Mommy when she was a baby girl. 

Monday when we came back home from the lake, I was singing you a song as you were pooping.  I was singing it in a funny voice and tickling your little legs.  You started laughing, and kept laughing.  It was truly the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.  Mommy made you laugh.  It's the best feeling in the world.  Before we went to the lake though, you rolled over 3 times during tummy time!  You did it so fast I couldn't get it on video or a photo of it.

This morning you woke up and kept looking at me with this darling dimpled smile.  We played and I changed you into your Australia outfit then we danced to Neptune Lullaby.  You played on your mat today and rolled over in reverse.  You also were smiling at me and making the cutest faces during tummy time.  I got a photo of them.  I will place one or two of them here when I re-edit tomorrow.

We went shopping for Easter stuff today for you, your brothers, and sisters.  We almost have everyone taken care of.  So far, you and your sisters are all set.  I think you all will like everything I've picked out.  You did so well, and when we met Mamaw Mona at the mall you just gave her the sweetest smiles and grins.  I know it made her feel good.  She needs that right now since her Daddy went to Heaven. 

Today you also ate a banana for the first time.  I will post that video here tomorrow during re-edit.  It was so funny.  You love it.  You were like a baby Chimpanzee, Daddy was just laughing so hard.  So was it, it was just too cute. 

That's it for today sweetie.  I will stay on top of this now that things are starting to get back to normal.  Even if I don't post, I do keep track of your goings on...so you will have a great memory book on your 18th birthday.

I love you so much my beautiful BeBe <3
I'm going to go lie down with you and Daddy.  God bless you and keep you safe.
Love always,
Mommy <3
