She Knows

Here is the latest on our little Bee: She is growing, on the verge of tipping 20 pounds.  She is a happy girl, always smiling and waving at strangers, causing the cranky folk on the bus to grin and play silly games with her.  We've taken to calling her The Mayor on account of her tireless campaigning to win friends and influence people.  She is figuring out walking. Jason saw her take a few steps a few days ago, but we haven't seen any since.  She eats everything, like everything....she pigged out at the Mole de Mayo festival in our neighborhood.  Squash blossom quesadillas were our little foodie's favorite. Today she had a smoothie with raw kale, pineapple, and banana.  She loves shrimp, garlic, spinach in her scrambled eggs.  You name it she will eat it. And guys, she knows things.  She knows she isn't supposed to touch certain things like the stereo or our computers or phones, which she respects and tests.  She knows coffee beans are for smelling and not tasting.  She knows how to tease, play hide and sneak (yes sneak), eat yogurt with her hands, and what to do with shoes, hats, and coats. She loves other kids and dogs.  She is brave and sweet.
