"I lub boo"

Okay, this post will be short, but oh so sweet! You now say I love you, or "I lub boo," (which I happen to think is even better) quite often now. If daddy or I say I love you, you say it right back. But one of my favorite moments, so far, as a mother happened just the other night as i was putting you to bed. I had finished reading you your books and was rocking you, but you weren't really feeling it, you just weren't ready to go to sleep yet. So, I just sat with you in the dark, and tried to lure you sleepyland. That's when you all the sudden lifted up your head, looked me right in the eyes and said, "I lub boo!" You said it about five times in a row. You could say it a million times in a row and I would love the sound just the same. It is just so sweet, and I lub boo too!
And just for the record...this pic was taken about twenty minutes after our sweet little moment. So yes, you won that round, out of the dark room and into the kitchen we went...

Long Awaited Visit

In September, we finally made a long-awaited visit to Dallas. You finally got to meet mommy's best friend, Jaime! Jaime and i have been best friends since our junior year in high school. We met because we were both on the Norman High pom squad and we instantly hit if off! We both went to OSU, we were roomies in the dorm, and we both pledged Chi Omega. We have watched each other grow into women, wives and mommy's!
As I mentioned, we were friends instantly, and you hit it off with Jaime, too! From the moment she picked us up at the airport, you reached out to her and were happy to be in her arms all weekend! I've only seen you behave this way with your grandmothers, so i was surprised, but very happy! I guess we both can spot a good friend when we see 'em!
It was a quick trip, but you loved playing with her little boy, Kolt. You spent a lot of time coloring at his little table and taking full advantage of all his fun toys, including a battery operated 4-wheeler! You loved that thing! If only you were a little better at steering, you would've zoomed all around their house (unfortunately, walls and other toys got in your way often!)
Here are a few pics from the weekend. You will notice that Jaime is about to become a mommy, again! This time to a little girl. We can't wait to meet her!
