"Our Family" Take Five... Action!: Home 4 Weeks

Phoebe is still doing great! She is imitating our sounds often (think ABC's) and repeating simple phrases daily. We all totally understand when she says park, we're home, apple, taco, more, help mama, banana. Most of her repeats are only understood by us, but she's doing better every day.

She got to meet her Uncke Jens and Auntie Jaimi this past weekend. We took a trip to the beach and to Downtown Disney and she was alert and observant the whole time. She didn't love the feel of the sand and she didn't want to be near the water but she did well:). She especially enjoyed her late night visit with Auntie Jaimi while Uncle Jens and Baba were at an Angel's game. I think we may need to visit Iowa in the next couple of years to see all of the cousins!

Still spending great amounts of time playing with playdough, dirt and the water hose. But we're also spending a lot of time playing with Hu Huwa ( her stuffed Panda), Lambie and Baby (she calls her Ma). Of all of her babies and studies, these are her constant favorites. She also has a barn with animals that she spends quite a bit of time with. Bath time is starting to take a backseat to other types of play. Going to the park almost daily has been pretty fun to watch. She's so observant and then when no one is seemingly watching her, she'll go and copy whatever her child of choice was doing.
