  • Aidyn,

          Things are finally getting back to normal. Thank goodness.  ...just in time for your brother to come too, probably.  Oh well, at least we've had a few normal days lately before things change again!  I'm so excited to meet Grae- and I think you are too.  You point to my belly and say "brother" "Grae" "baby" a lot.  You give him kisses and hugs too.  You're also pretty much obsessed with Seeger- he's 10 weeks old now.  You ask for him all the time... and ever since you saw Shanna pick him up, bounce him and say "shhh"... you do that to all of your dolls and stuffed animals.  Sometimes you just fold your arms and bounce them while you "shhhh"... so ridiculous!  I love you and your goofy little self...
          You're saying 3 words together now- but the 3rd word is always "daddy". Ha!  "Thank you, daddy. Bless you, daddy. Hold it, daddy.  Come on, Daddy" ...even when he's not here!  Sometimes I wish you'd say mommy... but that concept hasn't sunk into your sweet little head yet... oh well.  You saw a red truck parked in a driveway today while we were heading down the road and you shouted "Truck!  Daddy!" Ha!  The truck really did look like Daddy's too.
          You are such a little sponge these days.  I have to be really careful of what I say- you will usually repeat the last 2 syllables of whatever I say.  Doesn't matter what it is... you say "gracious" and that's way better than "oh, dosh (gosh)" which is evidently what I say when things don't go exactly as I planned...  I love when you say "yes ma'am".  You are really obedient too- there are definitely times when you aren't.. especially when you're either tired or hungry; but most of the time you do what I ask you to do.  You're such a blessing, little bit.
          I hope you adjust well to baby Grae when he gets here.   I love you so much... and I love him too.  I can't wait for you to hold him and kiss his little face.  I think you are going to be a very good big sister.  It's so exciting to think about this summer and all the fun memories we will make as a family of 4!
          Here's one of my favorite pictures from the maternity photo shoot we did about a week ago.
     

       

    I love you, my precious, sweet girl.
