Hey Peanut,

Man oh man are you growing. You are learning new words every day. You are finding out that you can have an opinion about things, and you definitely do. Your sense of discovery is at it’s peak, you are just craving to learn so much. I said it last month and I will say it again, this is my favorite stage. There are definitely some hard things about it, but it is still my favorite.

One of you daddy and my favorite memories this month has to be you picking up the word “ta-da!” Your dad, being silly, rolled off the couch did something, raised his hands in the air and shouted “Ta-Da!” Immediately after that you through your hands up in the air and yelled, “Ta-Da!” It has been one of your favorite words since. You never say it without throwing your hands in the air which is my absolute favorite part. 

You are definitely hard to get a picture of. I probably should have re-thought the whole idea of getting you to stand in front of your growth chart every month. I may end up giving up one of these months. You just want to MOVE!

Since the weather has finally been cool enough to hang outside for long periods of time, I have been taking you to the toddler playground at church a lot. YOU LOVE IT! That doesn’t even describe the happiness it brings you. Whenever I walk down there, once I turn the corner you shout “Yea!” and start giggling in excitement. You love going outside and ask for it on a daily basis. I don’t mind, it’s so much fun taking you out every day. We went three times in one day once, you had just as much joy every time. 

I so love being your mama, and I so love watching you grow. I can’t wait to see your personality continue to emerge. Until next month.
