eLLe - 21 months

Dear Luciya,


Well, my darling child, it's the first month of the year, so it's time to dedicate this month's post in a series of haikus. Ahem...


Why We Tape your Diapers On
You strip down in bed
If I find poop smear once more
I'm gonna lose it




Salutations
Say "Hello" to all
"Hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi!"
Don't forget "Bye-bye!"



Hitch
Pull your pants up high
Might as well be comfy, huh
Look at that belly!



Jammin'
What's up, sticky face?
Like you never ate before
Blackberry kisses




Burrbone
Chilly, isn't it?
Let's bundle up those cheekies
And still go outside



Tantruminus Giganticorus
Flail kick scream protest
Life is just unfair these days
We get it, you're peeved




Away
California girl
Holidays were so much fun
What a good trav'ler



Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls
Cousins and sister
Sweet seeing you together
We love and miss you!



Our Spot
In San Francisco
We took you to Dolores
You jumped in puddles




Monkey Pajamas
Monkey pajamas
Oh yes, monkey pajamas
Monkey pajamas




Training Days
Panties and Pull-Ups
And fast potty breaks, oh my!
Let's go diaper-free!




Move
Run, dance, almost jump
Discover your body free
Swing like a monkey




A Big Kid Now
Why are you so big?
Not a baby anymore
Holy toddlerhood!




Little Mother
Wee baby mama
Caring for your stuffed doll friends
And reading them books




Visitor
Uncle Mikey's here
An instant affinity
Three more months to go!




Look Who's Talking
Moon, hair, hi baby, brush
More, cookie, and for "thank you"
You can say "Heeh-heeh"




I Smile Wearily
Look at you go, girl
Nonstop beauty in motion
And so worth it all


I love you, Luciya!!

Love,
Mama

baack in aaction (dontcha know)

Okay, here I am... here we are! Lots going on! We had a great holiday season in California... and now we're getting back into the swing of things in Idaho, where it's freezing! Not even pretty freezing... inversion, which is the climate equivalent of black lung. It's good to be home!
