Dear FIN,
Life has been so hectic (in a positive way) I didn't let you turn 21 months. We just skipped to the ol' 22 months. Its difficult to wrap my brain around everything in the past couple of months, the changes, what you can do that you couldn't as of real recent. So we are now in Cape Cod for the remainder of the summer. For 2 weeks, it was just me and you, and we did all kinds of things to keep busy while daddy went away to the Boundary Waters with the man trippers, and spent a week out in MA alone to get some serious work done. We spent our days with G&G Dahlke, G&G Nunez, your cousins... even Madelyn came to visit from Phoenix. She gets bigger every day and oh so cute!
So more about you... you are getting better at piecing words together. You love to still say "DO NOT" when you aren't happy with results of whatever you are doing. You come out with phrases on a whim that catch me by suprise. You will say "want to do this", but then not say it again. My fave of fave's that you do right now though is you sing with me when its time for a nap or bed time. Now I don't claim to have any sort of voice that anyone would want to listen to, but since i'm the mama, you deal with it. I sing you the same Willy Nelson song as part of our routine and you now sing with me. When you don't get right on with the note, you work on harmonizing until you get close. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I just love it. One of these times, I'm going to have to record this little phenomenon and share. Here are a few pics of cousin Maddy, your mama & Aunt Sara, and you on your new Radio Flyer (thanks to the neighbors moving that wanted to get rid of kiddie toys).
