Curly needs a cut




Little Miss is always like this. I have other more ladylike pictures of her looking all correct and demure but it isn't her personality. These are her! She loves life and isn't afraid to show it. She loves good food and good company (don't we all) and her brother makes her laugh the most. She'll dance to almost anything but first SHOES. She's obsessed with searching in her closet and mine for the right shoes.

She speaks without pauses and missing articles, "mom please give me yogurt please, I want petit-suisse please mom now." She's a chatterbox from the moment she wakes up. We can hear her calling from her bed in the early morning, "papa please! I want dou-dou" and she will repeat this a hundred times until we ignore her enough and she falls back to sleep, whew. We aren't veteran parent for nothing after all. They always fall back to sleep before seven right?

She erases all the problems that come with a crappy house with her adorable curls, her funny cheeks and her squinty eyes. When she lifts her shirt and shows her Little Miss Sunshine Belly suddenly everything's right with what's wrong.

Twenty months goes by so fast. I can't believe it wasn't just a few short weeks ago that I was drifting to sleep next to her in my enourmous Mexican bedroom with the sounds of the mini mart serenading us from over the wall. Time flies and life changes so fast.

What a cutie! It sounds like her language development is coming along great. Eggbert is the same age, but her sentences are much shorter and less complex (and tend to lack the magic word "please," which we are working on). Go Charlotte!

Yes I'm happy she's so chatty! It seems strange to me that I can communicate with her and she's so little. And as for being polite we didn't teach her that she just sort of picked it up. It's not a nice please at all it's a pathetic and whiney PLEeeeease (do it faster!!).

Yes, it does pass by quickly. Julien is also all about showing the belly. He is constantly pointing to his belly button and saying, "butt."

She's adorable!
