such a little toddler already.

dearest nug,

we blinked and now you are walking EVERYWHERE and sometimes you run, which keeps mom and dad on their tippy toes at all times.  your new favorite activity is to run into the bathroom and stick your hand in the toilet bowl, you just look back at us with the most mischievous grin on your sweet little face. 

you are smart little one as you have figured out how to open the baby gates at gram and pawpaw's house.  you have started to form MANY opinions and like to tell us with strong hand gestures that signify "NO!"  you also scrunch up that cute nose of yours when you are not so sure about something.  you continue to say "mama, dada, and bye-bye" as well as "ba" just about every time you see a baby.  other kiddos make you really happy.  you like to walk right up to them and scream in delight.  sometimes they are little taken aback by your enthusiasm.

you are enjoying blueberries and raspberries to no end.  you would eat an entire crate full in one sitting if i let you.  i hope your love of fruit continues to grow, but if you could enjoy some veggies in there too that would be great :)

everything is new and exciting to you.  you are constantly pointing at things and babbling.  i really wish we know what you were saying, but i'm sure your words will come soon.  you give the BEST hugs and you give them all the time {especially right now cause you are sick}.  we love you beyond belief sweet pea and can't wait to see what your next tricks and treasures will be!

all my love,

mama
