15 Months today!

Happy 15 months Piper Bug! Today, to mark your 15 month Birthday you went to the Dr.!! yipppeeee . We are all just puzzled at why oh why your lips turned purple (purple I say!) 3 days last week when you woke up! I think it's the pollen polluted Abilene air and your stuffed up nose, but I am no Dr. The Doc has no idea either. Whatever it was/is, it hasn't happened in days so.... we will take you jolly on the spot if it happens again!

This month you can:
Say : dog, cat, bird, circle, lets go (ok so you have said it once. But it was clear as day and you meant business!) , Daddy, Mama, Zoey, book, bottle (even though you drink out of a sippy you still call it a bottle, although it comes out more like bot..... and than jibberish) , mine and don't ... i may be forgetting a few but that is the jest (is that spelled right) of it.
You hate to go to sleep in fear of missing something,
Love to read and bring us books all night long until you finally go to sleep
Have drawn your first picture and have tried to draw with sidewalk chalk when I pick you up at daycare
Like to dance and twirl around
Play with your new kitchen, bring us tea and cakes and mix us up Cheerios in your pots and pans
Love animals and are very quick to point them out wherever we go
Bark when you see a dog or any animal resembling a dog and Meow when asked what a cat says
Are an excellent hider and love to hide and scare us!
Still change your shoes 15 times a day but always and I do mean ALWAYS bring us matching pairs.
Wisely take your Daddy's wallet and credit cards almost everyday as well as his watch
Exert your independence every day more and more.
You Weight 22.9 pounds per the Dr. today and you are 34 inches long (this could be way off since again, it may come as a surprise to you, I am no Dr. and measured you while you were sleeping)
We love you so much and can't believe how much you've grown!

4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!! We spent a very nice weekend in wonderful Stephenville ( no sarcasm really. I really do miss Stephenville) We stayed with Pipers Mimi and Papa and we went to a very fun albeit very looonng parade with our friends the Slawsons. Piper was more interested in her cheerios than in the parade until.. da ta ta daaaa!!! the horses!!! Piper loves horses. She clapped and smiled and barked (she thinks everything is a dog) . Than it was off to Aunt Bonnies for a family BBQ where everyone played pass the baby and Piper ate it all up of course! She doesn't mind sharing the spotlight though if her cousin Holt is around ( he wasn't :-( ) After that it was off to Mimi's for a nap which left part of the afternoon open for Mommy and Daddy to wander off to the park and shove funnel cake in our mouths (mostly me) Yummy delicous funnel cake!! Than dinner, more relaxing and than fireworks. Piper of course was fast asleep by the time the fireworks came around. Maybe next year she'll make it. :-) The bad part about this weekend is that I broke my camera! I left it in the hot sun and than dropped it so I'm not quite sure which action actually broke it but I'm sure it was one or both of those that did it in. watching the parade go by

a lift from her very accomodating Daddy

So excited she just saw the horses!
