Daphne’s first popsicle

This kid just makes us laugh. She really doesn’t like cold stuff, but she keeps coming back for more because it’s sweet.

She also had her first watermelon slice this weekend.

She didn’t like it at first. After spitting out the first couple bites, she’d take a bite, walk around, come back for another, for probably ten bites. Amelia polished off almost 4 slices.

She is talking a lot and imitating everything. She says “I wuv oo dada”, “dada mama yaya” (over and over, usually in the car), “lellow” (for yellow), and can say counting sounds after we say 1. One “doooo” “eee” “awww”. Often when she sees a car she yells “CAR!” because that is what we do when we’re playing on the street so all the kids know to run to the grass. Her ‘all done’ has transitioned from a quick & snappy “ah duh” to a slow drawl “awllllll dunnnnnn” with extra dramatic and drawn out sign language to go with it.

She wiped out this morning on the bottom step. We didn’t see it, but she wouldn’t put any weight on her left leg for the morning. Took her to the ER. Xrays negative. Went by the Flynns for some dinner on the way back and she took off walking again. At least I am a good mom, and really, I want her to walk. It’s not like I didn’t want her to, I just wish she did right before we spent 2 hours at the ER. At least she is very pleasant company and kind of used to people messing with her.

    Little Daphine – you’re like your aunt Lynda – I don’t like cold either. But I sure do love sweet tastes. Glad your leg was ok, you’ll need both of them to keep up with big sister Amelia
