Rio

This girl LOVES "Rio". It's the first movie she actually watches. At least the first 30-40 minutes which is pretty long for a 1 1/2 year old!

Now I say, "Launa, do you want to watch Rio?"

And she runs to the tv and says, "yoyo!" (Her version of "Rio")

"Horsey... Bob..."

Driving around running errands this morning you kept saying "horsey, bob, horsey, bob" all the way down the hill. Then when we went out later today, we stopped to feed Aunt Rachel's horse and you were really enthusiastic about the "horsey, bob!" And we took you to see him. You even know which one he is. Casady greeted us in the pasture and you ignored him and whined for Bob's back. Once up you were super happy! And then when we took you off you seem fulfilled as we walked back to the car :-) I told you is take you riding more. You've been horse deprived lately! You look so pretty.

Such a Girl

We love what a girly girl you are. One of your early words is "earring". Your favorite thing is shoes. You love purses. You are so motherly. And even today at Walmart, you were carrying around fishy crackers but dropped 'em when you saw fingernail polish! I let you play there for a few minutes :)

Mommy Launa

Well a few weeks ago you figured out how to climb up the couch and into the changing table of the pack n play. Yesterday, when Harmony was playing in there and I was in the kitchen, Harmony started fussing and you instantly said, "shhh shhh shhh" and got to her before I did, which usually worries me because you don't quite understand gentleness and slowness around the baby yet, but when I hurried over there, you were just laying still and gentle and it actually quieted Harmony down and so I let you stay and you stayed there for a couple minutes while Harmony moved her arms around.

Harmony lives you so much. She hears you and looks at you and smiles big! You guys are 18 months and almost 3 months in this picture.

The First Thing You Say...

each morning and after each nap is "uhmunnie, uhmunnie, uhmunnie" (Harmony). This morning I laid her on your chest and you loved it. You threw a fuss when I took her away, giggled when I put her back and fussed again when I picked her up. You are so wonderfully loving and motherly. You love your little uhmunnie. You used to and occasionally still do call her "Arnie".
