arizona is just around the corner. i seriously can't wait. less than two weeks and my little family will be in the nice hot sun, soaking in the pool and relaxing with the grandparents. i'm sure robbie's dad will show up with sheri ;) they always do (i think rob gets jealous hehe) i love robbie's grandparents. we have adopted each other as our own :) his grandma and me are a ton alike. we tell it how it is, if you don't like it, too bad. we may be small but MAN we have attitude. :) dang, now i know where lia get's it from. speaking of... i feel like lia is a two year old. how can a baby so young, have so much attitude? she is such a little handful now!! she used to be the easiest baby on this entire planet and now she is becoming such a terror. she won't even let her daddy feed her. goodness. she is going to be quite the dancer though. she is so dainty when she crawls, she points her little toes when she turns to sit down, she dances with her shoulders. hahaha it is so funny! i should take a video. she will lift each shoulder to her ear, oh boy, i crack up every time. she stopped saying "mama"- sad day. when i try to get her to say it, she'll just say "da da da da" and she will say it squinting her eyes, big smile on her face, and her tongue between her teeth. she just could not get any cuter, if we tried. she is very clumsy. i don't know if it's because she can crawl so fast and she gets ahead of herself or if she is just like me and runs into things and trips on air. who knows. but she takes the beating like a champ, running into walls or rubbing her head on the carpet. jeez this girl, is crazy.
 i don't exactly know how to disipline at this age. if anyone knows, give advice. she is so good and i don't want to discourage her curiousity or vocalism. her vocalism is the hardest. it's totally fine when we're home and she just talks sooo loud and squaks but she does it so much louder and more often when we're in public. i'm not sure what to do about it. i find it funny... but i'm sure it bothers the people around us. any advice. let me know.
