be a great aunt to my niece

She talks on the phone now. It’s so freaking adorable. The other day I asked her if she was going to work with daddy for Halloween, because I know she is. She said no. I said, “I’m pretty sure you are.” She said, “I don’t work.” I answered, “You don’t work? What do you do…play all day?” And, being the cutest niece in the world, she giggled and said, “Play ALL day.” I haven’t seen her in several weeks and I’m not sure the next time I will. They aren’t coming to Thanksgiving. Breaks my heart when it’s so long in between seeing her. All my weekends are booked until the beginning of December, though.

to love her more. I absolutely adore her. She is number 1 in my life. I would pretty much do anything for this girl. She’s so incredibly intelligent. I want her to always, always feel loved. But I also want her to be a grounded person. When she went to my parent’s house she asked “where’s debbie and her bunny”. I wish I could see her more. When things become more stable I’ll hopefully be able to. I’ll see her on Saturday, though. I want to buy her the book How Big is the World because I think it teaches a great lesson. I should do that before Saturday.

She’s here for a week. TornadoE arrived yesterday and I’m already beat but I adore her so much. She’s too cute. Hopefully I survive a week of nonstop =)

She’s here now. I hadn’t seen her in almost 2 months. When she’s around, everything else disappears. I love making her laugh. She loves me because I’m extremely silly. God there’s nothing like having her run(fast, wobbly walk) towards me and raise her arms to be picked up. I love seeing how much she’s learned. I could go on for pages, but I’ll leave it at that. We get to spend all day together tomorrow. I can’t wait until she starts talking. Her first words: I love Aunt Debbie. ;) A girl can hope.

Her birthday is August 2nd and I just ordered her gift. She loves things that she can shake to make noise. Surprisingly there aren’t a lot of things babies can hold and shake that are noisy. Well, I found the Edushape 4 piece orchestra. It’s perfect!! She can hold each piece and they all make different sounds. I can’t wait for her to have it.

She’s coming tomorrow morning and sleeping over. And she’s already almost 10 months old!
