twenty two

dear grace,
sorry its been so long, oh my goodness! you are growing too fast. you are trying to crawl but with your big belly you are what dad says "high centered". you swim and swim and swim and throw your hands back like superman and kick but you aren't moving yet. too much at least. i do wonder how you get to be upside down and backwards in bed, but there are some things i can't explain. besides, i think you're a genius. this morning you woke me up babbling to yourself and squeeling. i love that sound. i just laid there and listened to you. you love to play peek a boo, and hide under the covers. we made a sock puppet yesterday and named her Jo boxer. you are trying very hard to sit up, you get your whole upper body up but havent figured out that you can use things around you to help yourself. you are beginning solid foods, we tried peas yesterday and you werent sure if you liked them but you still have to eat them. :] said lovingly. yuou are so wiggly! oh my gosh. and you are cutting two little teeth on the bottom center. you farted a ton in church really loud and a couple in front of us started blaming each other for farting. it was pretty funny. they have a little girl named ruby who is two weeks younger than you, but everyone thinks you are at least 10 months old. you are huge. you were sleeping through the night but have recently started waking up again to eat. you are a hungry little thing. you also have discovered that your mouth can make farting sounds in a pout. and when you are upset or bored you start making that noise constantly. it's pretty cute. your eyes are still very blue and beautiful. you weigh about 21 pounds. you are very tickleish. you think grandma francis is a computer because we facetime every day almost. you wave your feet around jjust like grandpa francis. and recently youve become very cuddly! i love it!
