Rory's Words

Miss Rory was is 18 months old (as of July 4!) and I can't quite reconcile my "toddler" with "the baby."  She's our last, so that's a weird transition, and makes me a little sad.  I wanted to capture some of the fun things that our little girl is up to.

Words:
Boe - Ball
Na - No
Yeah Yeah - Yes (usually said in duplicate as I wrote it out)
Tee - Teeth
Moe - More
Puh-puh - Puppy (or really anything with four legs)
Day-ew - Thank you
Peas - Please


She loves to jump, climb, and run.  If she is left alone for just a moment she will climb up on to the dining room table to find any food that was left out, or paper and pens.  She loves to eat.  Snack, really.  A meal she could go either way with, but offer her a snack while she can run around and she is all over it.  Crackers, chocolate, and fruit are the favorites.  She also really likes mac and cheese (who doesn't?), shredded chicken, french fries, cheeseburgers, and blueberries.  If she sees a writing utensil anywhere she is off to try and get it.  Even better if she has to climb to get to it.  Rory naps pretty well, but doesn't like to go to sleep at night.  I'm not sure if it's because she's over-tired or if she thinks things are happening that she's not a part of.  Either way, she has a hard time settling down in the evening.

Rory loves people.  She likes to smile and wave at you, as long as she is near her Mumma or Daddy.  She's reluctant to go to new people until she's comfortable.  Normal, I know, but she seems to be a bit more extreme in it than her siblings were.  She's pretty easy going unless something doesn't go her way and then she does a 180 and cries, sometimes even throwing a bit of a tantrum.  It's just so funny because there is such a difference between her two sides.  She loves to be tickled and to give hugs.  She'll give kisses too - sometimes a nice "Muh" and other times it's a juicy kiss with the tongue sticking out.

She is a joy to have around.  She loves her brother and her sister (and her parents).  She's quick to give hugs, and pat you on the back or head if she thinks you are upset.  Rory is so much fun and we are grateful that she is a part of our family.
