Holland is growing so fast. I went to pick her up on Tuesday and when I opened the door she was walking to me. She has been cruising since July. She progressed to taking about 5 very cautious steps in August before sitting down. Now she is up to walking across the room and has great balance. Knowing she is growing up so fast just breaks my heart but I would not go back for the world. It just keeps getting better. She says Mama and DaDa, baba and a whole bunch of jibberish. She sings all the way to the babysitter's in the morning. We have started brushing the eight teeth she has now. Mostly fighting over who gets the toothbrush. She is such an amazing little girl - cutting six teeth at the same time with minimal fussiness. The kid must have an incredible tolerance for pain. She is getting Tubes in her ears next Thursday- maybe that will end the endless cycle of antibiotics we have been on since spring.
She is getting some of the Taylor curls. She grows cuter by the day but I might be a wee bit prejudiced. I can truthfully say I have some of the most beautiful nieces and nephews imaginable.
She is starting to have so much fun playing with and chasing the other kids at daycare and at MiMi's. I think the reason she walked this week is trying to keep up with her 2 year old cousin Cade last Sunday. Her babysitter says she spends her days playing at a miniature kitchen. At least that comes from her Mama. The blond hair is mine too. Oh and about the shoes - the child will not keep them on her feet.
We miss everyone - Hope to see you soon.
