She's almost two

Margaret Mary is growing up so fast. Just the past couple of days she has started to imitate every word that we say. It is really cute and amazing how much she is able to comprehend. She is also starting to tell us things. For example, today she looked at our wall and said "no pope!" We had taken down our picture of Papa Benedict (the Pope) to put our house on the market, and MM noticed and was voicing her concern. Amazing. She has also been getting scared of everything! We have been talking to her about Jesus, and how she can ask him to help her be brave. She says "Jesus, helpie. brave" it is so cute. She will also point to her heart and say "Jesus, you, (which means Jesus is in me). It is so sweet to see how Jesus is already romancing her little heart, and how much she is able to understand about him.

On another note...

MM loves to sling everything, here she is slinging her stuffed animal dog.
Her sling is just a old shawl that I tie in different ways to keep her baby/animal in place. It is a workout for me because as soon as I sling the baby to her front, she takes the baby out and asks me to sling it to her back. Once I do that, she asks me to sling her baby to her front again. It is cute for the first five minutes.


We have been going to storytime at the library the past couple of weeks. They sing songs, dance a little and read some books. I thought MM would love all the singing and dancing and jump right in but she is a bit shy. She tends to just stand and watch all the action. I think she is just taking it all in; she has never been in a room with so many kids before. The library is PACKED out for storytime!


Ahhhh, nothing is sweeter than a sleeping baby.
