Lacy & Amber on campus for Amber's Graduation day

I figured that it has been a little while since my last post so I needed to give some updates. Things are going well here, but very busy. (As Katie likes to say "isn't everybody busy").

My little girl is really growing up in front of me every single day. And she is sucking me in with each and every hug of my leg when I'm standing by the kitchen sink, and every time she calls out from another room "daddy, where are you?", or when she comes up and says "Pop, I love you". It is so cute and lovable.

It seems like in the last two weeks (it's now May 23) she has truly grown from an infant to a little kid. She talks so much better now, she understands pretty much everything and she can even sing if we ask her to (if she isn't already doing it on her own). She loves to open and shut the doors in our house and knock on them while saying "knock - knock", she loves to push her baby stroller around the house (and often she likes to sit in it herself and lock the lap straps). She has been able to climb down from the bed by herself for probably almost two months now. And we have a very tall bed. She loves baths and will run to the bathroom if we tell her it's bath time. She still loves Baxter. She still loves to get into the pots and pans and wear the oven mits that make her look like a little lobster. She likes to put both mine and her socks on her hands and make sock puppets. She absolutely loves to laugh and will crack up if I even mention the tickle monster or the kiss monster is coming. She pulls up her shoulders, shrugs and runs away laughing with anticipation. She is absolutely amazing!

I have to put down some of these things sometimes. This blog is really just a place for me to jot down my memories. Kind of a piggy bank for my thoughts. If sometimes my thoughts seem a little incoherent please understand that the blog is really a place where I can go back one day and relieve my memories of having an unbeliabley great time raising my daughter with Katie. It try to make it readable to those of you out there who are actually still reading, but that's not my number one reason for posting.

Just a quick recap of what's been going on lately. We were down in Starkville a couple of weekends ago to do some work on the condo. We also got to go around town and through campus with my sister Amber on her graduation day. We had a lot of fun with her and took quite a few pictures. Unfortunately none were of her in her cap and gown as she didn't sign up to walk ( I can't believe you didn't walk that was so weak).

We then went the next week to Belzoni for Amber's graduation party. And this weekend we will be going to Starkville to help Amber move and to drop off Lacy to stay with my parents.

more later...
