This weekend we celebrated the fourth of July with our little sweet pea. Ironically this past Thursday we got her official certificate of citizenship in the mail, too. We tried to have her in bed before the neighborhood lit up but that was a never ending battle. As soon as the rain let up in the afternoon the noise began and continued to escalate well into the night. Around 9:00 we took her outside to watch and see what all the noise was about. We find that she responds better to things if you explain why. After that she was able to cuddle down in her mama's and papa's bed for a good night's sleep.
The fourth was Sasha's third Sunday going to church. She likes the praise and worship time and enjoys "dancing" to the music. She also thinks it's fun how people randomly look at her and waive. She's very eager to return the wave but I wonder if she thinks church is a place where everyone goes to worship her instead of God!
We've also been spending time at the local zoo. Sasha just loves the animals and has become a talking machine whenever she has an opportunity to tell someone about them or the sounds they make. Her favorite remains the monkey but she also likes talking about the bear that roars. Her aunt brought her a stuffed monkey which she's either cuddling with or trying to keep away from Dudley. Her bed is quickly becoming a "zoo" filled with her favorite stuffed toys!
Sasha's vocabulary grows by the day. We have graduated from single words to multiples and some phrases. You never know what's going to come out of her mouth from day to day. Her favorite pass time is reading books. She likes to sit down and "read" them herself but then finds us to begin the tour through her book collection. She's graduated from the single word picture books which were so interesting to her just four short weeks ago. Now she wants to hear the whole story page by page and word by word. Her favorite ones are little Christian books about God's love AND Curious George (of course)!
Included is a slide show of some pictures Matt took of her on this 4th of July. Enjoy our sweet pea and her beautiful grin, smirk, smile and attitude!
