Update on our Growing Girl!

 I have been too distracted the last few months. I need to do an update on our Darling Daisy. She is 19 months old now and such a joy! These pictures are from May and early June.
Daisy has probably 10 words already (we are afraid she will be speaking clearly before Dale is...). She says Mama, Dada, Dara, Cheeze (Chees!), Shoe, Diaper (Di-pah), no (she always says "No no no!), Go Car, and I'm sure there are a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. She waited a while before giving us any kisses, but sometimes she will do it now, and that is just adorable, makes my heart melt. She loves sticking out her bottom teeth and you can often see her with what we call the "Pop-eye" face as seen in the background here:

She is pretty easy to please, and doesn't make a peep when she wakes up after her nap. I typically leave her in her crib for 3.5 hours every day for her nap. She's always awake when I go in to get her but she's just chilling with her blanket. She takes the soft fluffy side and puts it her lips and moves her head back and forth just nuzzling it. It's okay though, she needs some quiet peaceful time, seeing as she has been trained well by Dale and the older kids to get into everything. She is constantly up on chairs,

 Up on counters (typically standing at this one, thank goodness she hasn't fallen off yet, how tall does she look in this picture? She's huge! At her last doctor visit she was just over 22lbs, and I can't remember her height other than them telling me she was the 99.8th percentile for height, yikes!),

 Up on tables (she looks exactly like Justin in this picture, I hope Justin would have been a pretty girl, lol...)

 Dancing on tables

 Loving her first introduction to the swimming in the ditch

 Floating down her own lazy river

 We are almost completely done with the "I want you to hold me but you must stand up doing it" all the time phase.

 Gets into the refrigerator (Thanks Dale)

 Loves to get dirty

 Crooked little smile with her Daddy's eyes, nose, hair (Justin was a towhead)...mouth...Yeah she pretty much doesn't have anything from me (both my girls have Justin's traits).

 Kneeling in the puddle

 Jumping in the puddle

 Being messy doesn't bother her!

 There is something cute and nostalgic about kids running around in diapers, right?

 with her sweetheart, she loves her Daddy. She giggles and runs to him for a big hug whenever he gets home.

 She loves me too

 smiling with those bottom teeth out. Adaira did that too as a baby. I guess it's easy to do when they don't have all their teeth in yet.

 I LOVE it when I get these. Sweetest thing every. Cuddles like these and happy excited faces when I get them up in the mornings or at nap times are going to be the things I will miss most about having little babies around.

Daisy we all adore you. If Dale could express himself more, I'm sure he would say it too, although he is still learning how to be nice to you. Brighton & Adaira just love getting you out of your crib and Adaira's little heart melts when you put your head on her shoulder. You are our perfect little caboose! You started nursery a month ago and still don't like it very much, but once we leave you seem to do alright. You are the best napper around. I still sing "Bicycle Built For Two" every time I put you to bed, and as long as you have your blanket, you don't seem to mind. You LOVE bananas, and would eat one every meal of the day if I let you. You dance to music whenever it's playing, and you love to flirt with people sitting behind us at church. You are at a really fun stage right now, and your momma loves you so much!
