Leah has learned a new word: "No". She is becoming more defiant, more independent, and... more attached. What? You would understand if you spent all day with her :) She likes to do things her way, that's for sure! She also likes us to do things her way. And this is her new way of telling us what she doesn't like. It's really cute though (watch me eat my words in a few days, I'm guessing), because she bunches her little brow into a scowl and then uses her sweet baby voice to say, "no!"
You would think that this would turn her in to a little rebel, but she is also perfecting her "thank you"s. Well, it sounds more like "day-goo" right now, but it's pretty recognizable every time! She says "day-goo" whenever she wants to give, take, or exchange anything. We give her something, "day-goo". She gives us something, "day-goo". Repeat until bedtime.
Since this is the "Brewer Family Blog", I suppose I should update you on the rest of the family then. Matthew and I have officially become enhanced residents of Washington. Well, our new drivers licenses are enhanced anyway. Also, I worked about 15 more hours than my usual 20 last week. It was a little crazy watching Leah while working for 11 hours on Friday, but luckily she found interest in the Curious George movie... twice. Who knew the Man in the Yellow Hat actually had a name? Anyway, she was a real good girl, and we are both glad to be back on the 4-hour-a-day work schedule. Matthew has been working extra too, so we have both been busy. We love our evenings together, and the weather has been perfect at night to take lots of little walks through this beautiful area we now live in.
More later!
So fun!! We can't wait to see how much Leah has grown, and to hear her new words!
