My turn

We were wondering where we left her, but we found her at the gate in the airport. : )




I've let Adal pick up the slack, but it's not fair to let him carry all the responsibility. Yes, I'm busy, but I have to be better about writing...


Well, there's too much ground to cover since the last time I wrote, so I'll just start with "at this moment".


"At this moment":

- Inarú is an experienced walker, although she still trips over her own feet. Mom never got over THAT stage...

- She is a dancer. A disco dancer. She really moves and grooves and shakes her booty. It's hard to catch on video because it is so spontaneous, but I will try. She loves all kinds of music and enjoys the music video channnels, but Elmo's Song is her favorite tune.

- She has a cute haircut, courtesy of Grandma Darlene and without my permission or knowledge whatsoever. She has bangs and the curls are all over. At least her hair is not in her eyes.

- She is one of the oldest in the Infant room at daycare. The teachers love her because she is so independent, but affectionate. She will soon be moving over to Toddler.

- I don't have a baby anymore!! I have a very independent Toddler! Where did my angel baby go???

- She is no longer crazy over our food. She prefers daycare food now. She does love Yogurt, Apple sauce, bananas, and pancakes.

- She looks like soon she will be ready to talk. For now, she is signing "more", "all done!", "milk", "dog", "hat". She probably does more, but those are the ones I've been able to recognize.

-She shakes her head "No". Very useful if you're wondering whether she wants more milk or food.

- She goes to sleep by herself and sleeps a lot. (YAY!!!)

- She has lots of friends in daycare. Her friend/rival Aubin was moved to Toddler room, so now she plays with Frankie, who crawls after her all day trying to keep up. She is very friendly with eveyone, and pretends to read by laying down with a book, making sounds, and tracing her finger along the words, just like Daddy does.

- She has picked up an annoying Screaming habit. She screams a lot, most times when you tell her she can't do something or touch something, but sometimes for no reason at all. We are handling this by ignoring the screaming, or talking low to her to stop screaming, or by covering her mouth and saying "No screaming Inaru". Neither are really working...

-Ever since the ear tube surgery, Inarú has barely gotten sick at all. She smiles and laughs a lot, and makes smile faces to get your attention. She is a very happy child and for now very low maintenance.

- I love her so much. I'm so in love! She is starting to show she loves me too, by hugging me, kissing me, and running towards me.

Today, everything is right in the world...
