Gisèle

She's supposed to be napping right now. Instead, I occasionally hear a cute little sing-song voice issuing from the monitor saying "Baby C D..." She'll sing along pretty well now to the ABC's (her favorite part is "L M N O P," or, as she says it "Em-i-ly P.") She has started putting some words together, ("My daddy,") and the words she knows are becoming a lot clearer. Just in the past couple of days, "wawa" has changed to "water." It's amazing watching her learn!

One of her favorite things right now is to dress up by putting on other people's shoes (guests, be warned!) and wearing hats. She keeps her cowboy hat handy, and will sometimes come around the corner from her playroom wearing the hat and my flip-flops, three books piled in her arms. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember that she's not even 2!
