Love Her!

I really don't have anything new to report, other than the fact that I should update this or my uncle will have a conniption because I didn't.  Again.  For months on end.  He's like that, but I love him anyway!  ;)

Holly is continuing to do grow and change every day and I find myself looking back at her newborn photos and seeing just how much she has changed over the past 14 months.  It's incredible and I'm so blessed to get to experience it.

She's walking like a pro now and she's getting faster and faster.  I know she'll be running soon and then I'll be in all sorts of trouble!  She's a mischievous little monkey and curious about everything.  She's just tall enough now to peek over tables and see what's there and try to reach for what looks attractive (basically everything).  Once she's satisfied one curiosity, she's onto something else and explores anything and everything!  She's also starting to get the hang of coming down the steps backwards, although she still prefers to have someone carry her down.  Going up by herself is fun, but make her work to get down the stairs?  No thank you!

Holly also loves to talk.  Most of what she says is gibberish, but every once in awhile you'll hear a word that sounds semi familiar.  Grammy has said on any number of occasions that once Holly starts to really talk, she'll never shut up.  I believe her!  I look forward to hearing what my daughter has to say, though, and recording it for her to read when she's older and laugh.  :)

For now, it's peaceful and calming to lay her in bed writing this as I listen to her lullabies playing over the baby monitor and knowing that she's safe, healthy and content.  She never fails to make me smile and I love that.
