 | | The 3 things my husband cannot wait to do with | | | Lia when we get back to Jax are: let her run wild in the grass up at the Oakleaf soccer fields - and then tackle her; take her to the pool (an excuse for him to go down the slide); and for the family to meet "Monkey."
|

|
 | | Lisa's top 3 things are: Lia to meet her family | | | (including the 4 furry ones/2cats&2dogs); let her run nutso in the park w/ tons of grass under her feet and blue sky above; for her to see all the love that awaits her return back home w/ us

Lia has learned to open our backpack that we bring daily and can take her toys out herself. She even surprised us today by putting her blocks back in on her very own. She must know that Mom is OCD! She likes to play tug of war w/ her toys - another trick she learned from Dad.

This is a goofy picture of her eating her Cheerios. She now makes the "mmmm" sound when we get the ziplock baggy out or when she wants a cookie.
