6 months, 4 weeks, 2 days Home

Things continue to change in ways that are not definable, but feel a lot different.  And good.  For starters, we are officially called "Mom" and "Dad" now by this talkative girl who is running around in T-shirts and long shorts.  She even sleeps in her loft bed now, after 6 months of sleeping on the floor.  (The morning after the first night she tried it, she said, "I sleep so comfortable!")

She went shopping with her dad today, and he loved it so much.  He commented on how very different it is, with our once reticent girl calling out across the store, "Dad!  Dad!"  He said that he spends 20% more if she goes along, but I guarantee he thinks it's worth it!  (She talked him into a Costco case of vanilla frappucino, for example.)

When they were out playing in the sprinkler today, she brought me the camera and said, "If you want.  For my blog."  Then, she showed me which pictures to blog for the family blog and this one.  The top picture, she showed me, "Both your daughters."  It sounds nice to hear her call herself daughter.  (We had to run the sprinkler to moisten the grass seed to fill in thin areas in the "grass garden" that she requested earlier.)
