The pictures... Diella was doing all kinds of different poses in this chair & turning to me to smile for a picture, it was hilarious! ... Ahna put some clip on earrings on her, she liked that! ... and She Finally Let Me Put Pigtails In Her Hair Again!!! She hasnt left them in since last August! I held her down & put them in the other day & we were all sure to make a BIG deal of how pretty she looked with em in, so she left them! Then even to church this Sunday, I put some in her hair & she left them, YAY!!!!!
_____________________________
Last blog, I said how Diella has been sitting in the most 'grown-up-looking' positions... well her new one is with her arms behind her head, ya know like arms up, elbows out, hands behind the head, all relaxed... it is So cute! (except she does it alot when she's sittin in her high chair & then whatever food is on her hands gets in her hair... so I am Not for that, but watchin her is adorable!)

She's getting So much better with pronouncing things correctly! Like for some reason she always said bunny like 'buckin' ... well her daddy helped her say bun-ny, one syllable at a time, and now she says it all the time BUNNY! Like reminding us that she says it right now! :) same with jammies... she used to say it, oh geez, I cant even describe how she used to say it, but she's got it right now anyway :) hehe... in fact, last night I put her down for bed and she goes "jammies, bunny" hehe

When she's saying a word that we dont understand, we'll go what is that? And she'll keep trying to say it... sometimes she'll hold out her hand and take you to Show You what she means, and she'll say 'show you' ... then when we figure out whatever it is she's getting at, we casually say "oh, ____!" (whatever it is)... and she goes "Oooooh" like to say 'you got it' hehe

The other day she was sitting in front of the bookshelf, and got out a bunch of books (some kids books, some adults books) and was just so calm & quiet 'reading' these books! It was so cute to see her so entertained all by herself! Then she brought me this huge adult book & sat it on my lap & said 'read' ... lol, ambitious!
_______________________________
She's finally doing so much better with sentences, starting to put them together much better! We were puttin her down the other night & I said 'tell daddy nite nite', she says 'nite nite' , then I said, 'say nite nite to mommy', and she goes "nite nite mommy" I was so elated!
__________________________
One day she was spelling. She said D-I-D-I! I think she was trying to spell her name? It was cute. She was so excited about it too!
________________
She sings the beginning & the end of the alphabet song (she's trying to catch up with her cousin Aria ;) ... she goes "A, B, C's.... Now I Know!" hehe... and lotsa times she'll jus walk around the house singing "Now I know, now I know" ... aww

Another kinda sentance she said was "Hi baby"... funny thing is, she wasnt talking to Ethan... she said it to me, LOL

Ok, every night, Diella & daddy & I say our prayers together before bed. Well there's this specific one that we do with her, thats the same every night. Usually, we say a word, she repeats it, til we get through the whole thing... well the other night, we folded our hands to pray, and all by herself, she begins.... and says ALL this all by herself... "Jesus, thank you, Mommy, Daddy, Ahna, Papa, Amen" !!!! That's most of the prayer, she left off a few things at the end (like her other grandparents that we always mention, Grandad & Mamaw) but I was amazed! She is memorizing! And did it witout us asking her to, it was awesome!
________________
And lastly, everyone has been asking how she's doing as a new big sister.... (I guess a lot of first borns have trouble with a new baby around)... well she's doing great! She loves to hug & kiss Ethan... and she doesnt seem at all jealous when we hold or feed him... (not even when Ahna holds him... I thought maybe she might not like sharing Ahna with him, but she doesnt mind! :) ... and with them sharing a room, she only woke up the first night, and not since :) So all is well, everyone is adjusting & making it work!

awww so many cute things! AND she looks older all of a sudden! Like a big girl ;-) I absolutely LOVE the ponies!! And great job, Diella, on how well you're doing with talking! YAY! I so wish A & D could get together to play. They would have a BLAST!! OH good to hear she is doing so great as a big sister, too!
Glad she's doing well with her "sentances," but when you start working on spelling, maybe you should have Jacob help... (it's "sentence"). ;-) :-D Love yooooouuuuu, haha
