More, More, More---My Crazy Life...Day 9

-
 OK, so a little back story on today's picture.  You see, Miss Whimsy, my big girl,  was a really early talker--full understandable sentences by age 1 1/2 to 2.  People couldn't believe how clearly she could speak as a toddler.  But Ryane at 17 months wasn't saying anything more than hi.  No mommy, daddy, anything...needless to say I was stressing a little.  I'm a worry wort so you know I was assuming that we were going to need to go to speech therepy and who knows what else.  Anyway,  a couple of months ago during a visit with Aunt Nati, (the hubby's sister) my little bliss, Ryane  learned how to say "more" using sign language.  Now, I've seen a few people do this with their kids but I never really thought about doing it with my own.   I just assumed it would be something we would have to work on over and over and I really just wanted to focus on enhancing her verbal language.  For my sake, I needed her to speak!!!!!! But, it was crazy--she picked it up so fast and still uses this sign anytime she wants "more".  It is so neat, I just wish we would have started early and taught her other words.  Without speaking she can communicate and I know that makes her so much less frustrated.  Not to mention--it's really cute!!!  Now, at 19 months her verbal language is through the roof.  She tries to say everything.  Her best words are Mommy, Daddy, Sissy, Juice, Done, More, Nammy, Pawpaw, Bubba, Nano, Papa, Paci and BiBi (blanket), Please and Thank You.   She will repeat anything you ask her to try.   YEAH!!!!  I was snapping pictures of her with her breakfast Sunday morning(not really day 9 but I love this picture too much not to include it--it's grainy and the light was bad but who cares!!)  I got so many cute ones and then all of a sudden she does this---Here is a picture of her asking me for more cereal,  really she just wanted more marshmellows--she eats them first when she eats lucky charms.   I never want to forget this about her.   Hope I never will!!!!

To my sweet baby girl--can't believe you just turned 6. Where have these 6 years gone.   I look at you and I can’t believe what a an amazing kid you have become.  You seem so small at times and then you speak and the whole world turns to listen to what my little “big girl” has to say.  You are AMAZING.   You are so smart.  You have learned so much this year.   You can tie your shoes, you love gymnastics, you can read, you have been tested into the GT program at school, your teachers love you, your friends love you, and you are a great student.   We are so proud. I love how you pay attention to every little detail of everything.   You never cease to amaze me at how much you know about “everything”.     I love how good you are at gymnastics---You are just built for it.    You are strong and your coaches just can’t get enough of you.    I love how you always want yo...

In January last year I started a photo project called For the Love.....30 days of photos, 1 photo each day, all black and white.     I love all of the images I got and promised myself I would do them every January, every year.   I actually had an album made from last year's images.   I LOVE IT....  This January, I started out on my FTL project but only got about 4 days in before I decided it wasn't going to work....We had so much rain in January and in February that I had a really hard time getting images.   Plus, with daylight savings time and cloudy skies in the afternoon I had no chance of getting any good light for pictures once I got home from work.    So this year I am changing up my FTL project a little.   I am going to wait and start this project in June---when I am home and can really spend some time on it.  I think I will also mix in some color images.....haven't decided yet....guess we will see in June. Soooo, instead I...
