My Little Chatterbox

I am just loving staying home with my little princess. She is such a joy to be around even on the days that consist of numerous temper tantrums and even more timeouts. After a day like that, I still collapse on the couch after putting her to bed, and miss her chubby little face. Since I have been home with Courtney, I have watched her grow and mature and become so smart. It's so much fun to teach her something and watch her do it. She just loves to dance and anytime music is on she can't help it, but she just starts to groove. But even more than dancing she loves to talk. I guess she takes after her mommy in more than one way. We talk all day long and it's amazing what she picks up. This afternoon Courtney and I were counting how many words she can say and we got up to 28! Of course you have to be around her to really understand them. But mama and dada do, so that's what counts. Not bad considering she is not even 18 months yet. We could be cultivating our very own chatterbox. One of my favorite things I am teaching Courtney is how to be a better helper. Since we have a new baby coming in 5 months I am going to need all the I can get. She helps me with the laundry, she picks up trash and puts it in the garbage she picks out her shoes or finds them and she puts her dirty clothes in the hamper. Okay enough bragging about my little girl. I am just so excited that I don't have to miss these moments. Thanks to my wonderful hubby, who works his butt off so I can be with our babies.
