20 months on...Our daughter :)

Standing in the shower tonight, I chanced to look down and saw that just as I had crossed my foot over my other foot, so my daughter had done standing beside me.  There are no words to describe the feelings that overwhelmed my heart in that moment.

This week our little girl is 20 months old.  Her new favourite word is shower.  She often brings me my shower cap and then leads me to the shower and babbles vigorously point at the shower begging me to take her for one.

Our little girl is a delight to our hearts.  There are no words to describe how much I am enjoying having my little girl.  Although, Ben and I are noticing that she remembers what we do very well.  One day, Ben playfully picked up her hand and patted his face.. This quickly became her favourite thing, but she did it more energetically and seemed more like slapping!  We've had to remind her numbers of times to be gentle with Dad's face.  She hasn't learned how to say 'daddy' but calls him 'DAD!'

Winter in Melbourne has brought us a few frosty white outs as shown in the photo.  A number of mornings have been frosty white and the mud puddles iced over.  I have to admit though, I am looking forward to the warmer months of the year.

Our little girl absolutely loves going to the park.  She giggles her heart out and has to try out everything.

This week when we went up to my sister's, we discovered she had climbed up the gate and was checking out the four donkeys!  Later on she enjoyed another donkey ride, she absolutely loves riding them!

Tonight as I saw how she had imitated the way I was standing I was reminded once again of the truth that little eyes watch, little feet follow... It's so very important what they see.
