Piper's First Pinata

You have been to so many parties this summer with pinatas but have always hesitated to hit it. Until Jonavan's 2nd birthday, where you stepped up to bat and hit that Sponge Bob pinata with all of your might. Wow! Your daddy and I were gleaming with pride. Granted that you and your daddy have been practicing at home and at times Phoenix's head ends up being your target practice, you still did an awesome job. As you slowly come out of your shell, we are both happy and also sadened because our little baby girl is turning into just a little girl.

The Happiest Baby on the Block

Dr. Sears must have had you in mind Phoenix when he wrote this book. You are always so happy and smiling when someone smiles at you or even if they're not. I love it when you laugh. I love it when you make this motor sound with your lips. Your daddy and I most love it when we carry you and you hold on to our shoulders as tight as your little hands can manage. You're also starting to pull yourself up on our bedrails and you're only 7 months old. Crazy guy! I think its because you see your sister walking and you want to walk with her. By the way, you are your sister's number one fan. Anytime she walks by, you giggle and when she walks away, you put on your fake cry. Your also starting to speak up because when she takes a toy away from you, you actually start to fuss. Before, you would just let her.

I wish you would stop growing. I wish you could be my chubby happy baby forever. I love you Boffee.

9 months later...

Im so sorry baby girl or should I say little girl. Its been 9 months since I've blogged about you and much has happened in 9 months. You now have a baby brother who is 7 months old and he adores you. Everytime you pass by he laughs or squeals but since youre such a big girl now and so busy, you pay him no attention unless other people are playing with him, then you get territorial. You've started to potty train 2 weeks ago and just yesterday during your playdate with your cousin Bella, you pee peed 4 times on a tree at the park. Your daddy was so proud. Anyway, you talk so much now, in full sentences. It usually starts with "I want... In the mornings you get up by yourself and use the potty. You even empty your potty out into the normal toilet. What a good girl. Piper, you and your brother Phoenix are truly a blessing from God. Your daddy and I love you very much.
