More Milestones!

I know it sounds like I am bragging all the time about what Hope is doing these days. Please keep in mind, this blog is my journal (like a baby book would be) documenting all the wonderful things she is doing and all the wonderful memories we are making. I print out each month's blog and put it in a binder, so she will have a journal of her life in my words along with photos.
So this is what she is up to this week... 33 1/2 inches! We measured her last night as she is getting so tall.
She is starting to memorize and sing along to songs. Last night she was singing the "these are the colors of our rainbow... red, orange, yellow, green, purple and bluuuueee". She is really starting to recognize so many colors. For a while there, everything was "yellow", but now she is starting to get them right when you ask her.
She is like a sponge, absorbing everything she can. Wayne is teaching her all about the Dallas Cowboys. When she sees the Cowboys signature star, she immediately says "Go Cowboys!" Wayne will put both arms straight up in the air and she says "Touchdown!" It is cute! Each game, she has to wear her Tony Romo Jersey and sit in Daddy's lap for kick off. They are starting a new tradition!
She is talking so good and holding little conversations. When we drive by Ms. Keri's, she points and says "Keri's house". I am so amazed at what she knows and understands at such a young age. She is starting to test the waters a bit too. Sometimes she doesn't say "sorry" when she is supposed to and gets into trouble and has to go to time out until she is ready to apologize. She knows what she is supposed to do and sometimes refuses to do it. It all is developmental and normal for her age, we just have to teach her respect. We are all human and have our moments, she is no different. We still think she is more amazing than we could have ever dreamed she would be! She is so lovable and polite.... still saying "Thank you mommy" "thank you Daddy" when you give her something. "Bless you Daddy"... although she doesn't bless me much; I guess our sneezes sound different?? And our favorite... "Love you Mommy!" "Love you Daddy!" That always melts my heart!!
