Check it out

Kirsten is such a good blogger. And such a good mom! And babysitter! Daphne is one lucky chick. And nic too (not a chick, just lucky)

Lately Nina has been:

crawling
cruising
forming sounds that include more of an 'r' sound as of today
saying banana - it started today too, I think!
saying mama and dada - i think! (it's really hard to be sure)
growing wild hair and what I think is a widows peak. One of the hairs nearly reaches her eye
looking at me just to smile at me
smiling hugely when i blow my nose
going on walks to campus to visit Evan with me while we still can before winter
holding onto you like a monkey when you pick her up
learning to cuddle, which is new
responding when i say no (like to eating grass or other nonedibles)
going to sleep so fast and easy
SO CUTE AND SQUISHY
