Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.  That's all this little girl knows how to do.  Everyone she sees she says hi to.  Every animal in our house has its own story.  Her imaginative play is soaring right now and it's so much fun to hear her make things up and play. 

She still has the whole sassy and sweet thing going but the sassy is overpowering the sweet these days.  She has such an attitude most of the time but then she really knows how to make up for it with the hundreds of 'I love yous' she says in a day.  I really need to start counting how many times she says it on any given day.  She still cuddles like a boss and I can't resist that crazy little smile.

She is still waking in the middle of the night and coming into our bed.  I'm honestly just too tired and lazy to move her back to her bed to try to break her so it's my own fault.  I'm thinking we might be switching out her bed to the full size soon to see if that helps.  I think she is just really restless and wakes herself in the middle of the night.

We have broken the habit of her falling asleep in our be to begin with so that's at least some progress.  She lays in her own bed to go to sleep but she always wants Daddy or I to sit with her until she falls asleep.  She usually wants Mommy and I don't mind.

While she is usually really good big sister, her and her brother have their fair share of fights.  She likes to take toys away from him.  She likes to order him around.  She likes to push him out of the way when she wants something.

She also likes to play with him.  She likes to help him with things.  She likes to give him his milk and grab diapers and wipes when he needs to be changed.  She really loves her brother despite how mean she is to him sometimes.  But to be fair, he can be pretty mean to her too!

This stage that she is in right now, this imaginative, playful stage is the best yet and I can't wait to see how she keeps growing.

Baby Girl, you are such a little socialite it's ridiculous.  You love to talk to people and you have no stranger danger at all.  This really scares Mommy and Daddy sometimes because we really think you'd go home with just about anyone!

But people just flock to you.  They just can't help it.  That cute face, those beautiful curls, that amazing smile, those big, blue eyes.  People just love to see you and talk to you.  And you love it just as much!  You are a bit of a drama queen at times but you're not too bad.

You and your bother fight like crazy but you also love each other so much.  I love the way he looks at you, his big sister, with such love and amazement.  And you are such a good big sister, showing him things and trying to teach him things.  No one makes him laugh like you do.  I really hope that you continue that strong bond.

You are quite the singer and dancer these days.  Any time music is playing, you're dancing.  And any time a song you know is playing, you're singing.  You're making up your owns songs now, too, and they are pretty hilarious.  You have quite the imagination.

Mommy loves to watch you sit at the kitchen table and play.  You pile as many little toys into your toy bag or airplane or car and you just sit for hours and play.  You make up stories and sing songs and I could watch you do it all day long.

There are still times when I can see Daddy look at you in amazement because he can't believe how lucky he is to call you his daughter.  We both are my sweet girl.  Never lose that infectious personality.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
