You and Cooper Holloway

Iddy, you are so good with the babies at New Life. Bev was bragging on you. She gave you a little boy who was totally floppy and you put him in your lap and played toys with him. She said you were better than some of their full-time workers!

9 September- PERMANENT GUARDIANS! We are so excited. It feels like you were already ours and you are even more ours. I cannot imagine our family without you. Sometimes it seems like you have a hard time expressing to us what you are feeling. We are here for you and will wait to hear what you have to say. Papa is especially good at this. You are an amazing young man. You want to do what's right. God will use you!

1 August- First tooth

Abby Jones, you are sweetness and truly edible. You are trying to crawl, very sensitive and easily startled, not rolly-polly.

17 August- Little curls are appearing in the back of your head. You crawl on one knee and one foot. You still love to act shy. When someone greets you, you duck your head down and put it in my chest.

21 September- Curls in the back of your head, climbing stairs, love the knob to the speaker.

9 September- You are so much fun, loving to play and laugh. I love trying to make you giggle. You mostly just squeal.

25 September- You love Chloe the cat! You love the stairs, you can go all the way up. You can also climb up the stool. You love to wave and say bye-bye. At 9 months I had to start giving you some formula. I went on birth control, and I felt like my milk was decreasing. But you did fine! You take the bottle well and you still breastfeed really well, too.

4 October- You learned how to suck from a sippy cup. You point a lot and say, "da" "ya" and sometimes "ta-ku", "wa-da." I love having a conversation with you.

6 October- We played peek-a-boo together for a long time and you laughed and laughed. It was so fun.

9 October- You clapped with Vivian. Your top right canine started appearing. Rose said she saw it yesterday. Took you to the doc because you're a little small, but he said not to worry. You are my perfect little porcelain doll!

3 August 2015

Ruth Michael, whoah, you have so many questions. You've started swim lessons but you call it tennis lessons.

"Can somebody get me a glass of water?"- from "Tangled" "Somebody get me a glass, cause I just found me a tall drink of water"

"Their having a difficult year"- when the guys in guardians of the galaxy are holding the blue thing and screaming.

"anybody"= "nobody"
"anything"= "nothing"

When I told you to go put your shoes on you said, "mama, it's a hard knock life."

17 August- You love it when I explain things to you, "tell me all those things again, mama." You told me to stick my tongue out while peeling the orange because that's what Iddy does.

21 September- You name every doll "Gingera"

30 August- We just got back from the beach. You LOVE to swim and are not afraid of the water. You are also in a stage where you like to hold my hand. I am EATING it up!

9 September- You call me "Sarah" especially when you are having a hard time getting my attention. At night I say, "I love you with all my hear and-" and you say "troll." Then we both giggle, and I say "no, 'soul'." Then you say "let me try that again." Then you get it right.

25 September- "Yankee doodle had a dog and Jesus was his name-o"

5 October- We told Vivian that we are moving to Malindi, and you say "getting to Malindi is very difficult." If I ask you, "how did you get to be so smart?" you say, "I just am!" Iddy discovered this.
