This summer is flying by and oh how I wish it could last forever. I do love teaching, but I love being a mommy so much more. We love to read books and she has her favorites. We have lots of dog books and she will find the dogs in the books and say "uff" (woof).
I've said it as a teacher and now let me say it as a mom:  "I'm not a fan of teeth." Giada is working on her 3rd and 4th tooth. Both top teeth decided to come in together. She is such a trooper. Its hard to know she is uncomfortable and not really be able to do anything to help. We are excited though because getting a few more teeth opens up more food possibilities!
I've said before that I don't think Giada is in any hurry to learn to walk, but she is ready to learn to talk. She can say "Daddy", "Momma/Mom", "Hi", "uff(woof)", "iggy(Wrigley)", "uh-oh", "more", and is constantly jibber jabering and singing.
