Today is my daughter's half birthday. Since I celebrate half-birthday's, I put together a little "day in the life of..." to commemorate both her step into toddler-hood. These images were collected over the past three days and by no means capture all aspects of her. She's really a morning person, often greeting us with "mo-nin'" when we get her out of her crib. She gives hugs to "bun-bun" and "ugy" upon waking and insists I give them kisses. After breakfast, we watch out the window yelling "bye! Soon!" (as in, see you soon) to those going to work. 
Favorite toys include blocks, books and anything brother is playing with. She's quite the accomplished builder.
I typically get a lot done during nap time, but lately she's been practicing "crib gymnastics" which includes about 60 minutes of jumping, throwing things, removal of clothing, screaming, shrieking, singing, crawling and bouncing in bed. And also leads to less comfortable sleeping positions.
This week was very exciting for new milestones... we are learning to jump, can use three words in a sentence (yay dow good = lay down Isaac, good dog) and have discovered a love of climbing. In fact, quite absent from the photos are all her renegade trips up the stairs to play in the diaper pail, the toilet or sit on her potty and climbing to play with the printer buttons. I some great cardio in today!
If I am preparing lunch after 11:30 am, it takes me twice as long as it's hard to do anything with a little person attached to your legs.
However, once we get eating, it's all fun and games. "Wogut" (yogurt) is a fa
mily favorite. This picture was taken prior to spoon proficiency.

Unfortunately, so is walking around with a cup. Since I don't use valves, we have a 'kitchen only' rule with the cup. That often leads to..... tears & tantrums.

Favorite bedtime songs are "a-ways" (The Lord is my Shepherd), "a-night ... a-day" (Angels Watchin' Over Me) and she is beginning to help pray by filling in blanks we leave and naming some of her favorite people (like Daddy and Bwoler (brother)) for God to bless.
