St. Pats Day

Well I thought I would post St. Patrick's Day photos before I did more Easter..(and I did not get to stage Lydia's "Easter" pictures with her dress yet...) The Junior League had a social that evening so Kathy and I posed for these pictures before we left. This must be Lydia's model pose..she did it in both pictures. By the way, she loves these necklaces and wears them all the time.
Ok some milestone updates. My daughter is so verbal. She has independently started saying thank you. I know that we have used it in front of her but I have never asked her to say it. One day last week I gave her something and she said it to me...I was astounded. Now she says it when she really wants something and you finally give it to her...talk about a guilt trip. Like when we where at Boston Beanery. She kept trying to snag a french fry all evening. I finally gave in and gave her one and she said so sweetly "tank ou" I just keep thinking, how did she know how to use those words! She is putting two and three words/signs together to make sentences. "more nana" "more books" "mama cucks" "mama bup" (up). I cannot even list all the words she can say. But she can sign: more, milk, play, water, eat, up, all done, hurt (she signs it when I say it or she hears it but I don't think she understands what it means) and as of this morning, book. She is really into snuggling into your lap and reading to her. Well I hope everyone is well in blogger land...

What is this, "Blue Steel"???

SHUT UP! Enough already, Ballstein! Who cares about Derek Zoolander anyway? The man has only one look, for Christ's sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it! What have you done, Derek? You've done nothing! NOTHIIIING! And I will be a monkey's uncle if I let you ruin this for me, because if you can't get the job done, then I will! -- MUGATU, Zoolander
