Dear Miss Paighton,

Have I ever mentioned that I love you? Lately you and your teeth have been battling it out and I think the teeth are winning. I hate seeing you upset and I wish I could fix it for you. I promise once those little guys pop through, you will feel so much better.

You have been "waking up" (more like instant crying and munching on your hand) 2-3 times a night. Tonight has been good, I've been up checking on you and no crying yet! Whew! Hopefully you get a little rest.

You are moving all around now and crawl to us everywhere. You prefer Belle dog's toys and make a beeline for anything she has. Belle dog is amazing and gentle with you. She gets a little nervous when you head for her bone, but we're working on that. You are so cute as you are learning to put one foot in front of the other. If daddy or I hold your hands and stand you up, you LOVE to walk. You're working on your balance and always want to let go and do it yourself. I can't IMAGINE where you get that from. :)

You are making all kinds of sounds now! Your latest is "baa baa baa baa". I'm pretty impressed with the "B" sounds you are making! You are definetely a talker and get really excited when you are standing.

You love to be tilted backwards/upside down and giggle everytime we do it. You also love when mommy and daddy talk to you like Cookie Monster. :) We also play "I see you" in the mirror. A lot. You are so smart and will look into your little mirror to find us. You also love to look at yourself in the big mirror and get HUGE smiles when you do.

You also love the water. We started swim lessons this month and you have had lots of fun. We've even gone under water 3 times! Yeah! You love to watch the other little kids in the pool and always try to immitate mommy when I blow bubbles. The water doesn't taste to good but you are always smiling when we do it. You love to splash around and talk to your water toys in the bathtub.

You are headed to see some cows next weekend and I can't wait to see your reaction when they come right up to us at the fence! It will be lots of fun!

I love you baby girl with all my heart. You bring me joy each and every day. I thank God for you and the blessing you are to our lives.

I love you ALWAYS!
Mommy

Congratulations for resuming the blogging world. You won't regret it. It's so easy to forgot what your children did at what age so the blog is nice to have to look back and read when they are older. I'm sorry Paighton is having a tough time with her teeth:( I hope they come through soon and she's back to her happy self.
