I am in love with this age

Not my own age (27 today!!), because I will forever be 22 in my made up world. Either that or 85. I want to be wise or be carefree. Perhaps I will be both one day! Anyway, I am in love with Rosie's age--ten months!!

She has finally decided to take real naps, she dances to pretty much any beat. She really likes Regina and Nickle Creek. She stands up all the time and crawls like crazy. She is almost always happy. Someone in the ward even asked me if she ever cries. And of course she does! But it's usually only because I took her out of the bath too soon or she is trying to fall asleep.

She likes to be outside, eating rocks and dirt and helping with the gardening. She also likes swinging, especially with Christian. She loves reading books and doing patty cake. She also has a magic finger and will cast spells on people! "Abracadabra!" She loves her stuffed pig, that I have named Patty. We will see if it sticks.

Still no teeth, but she will try any food I put in front of her. Her favorite is probably my fresh wheat bread. She loves helping me in the kitchen and finds excitement in anything baked. Yes, yes, she is my child!!

We are becoming the very best of friends.

103 degrees. Fighting her first fever! She was a champ!

Guatemala should hire her for a model. Thanks for the dress, Kimber!!
