The other night at dinner, Carrie did the cutest thing ever. (I say that a lot, don’t I?) My parents were over, and we were all sitting at the table together. Carrie looked at my dad and blew him a kiss – her kisses are preceded by a sort of lemon face, she really works hard at them – and waited until he blew one back. The she looked at the next person at the table, Denis, and blew him a kiss. And so on all around the table. It was so sweet!
She also gives really good hugs now, to people and toys. In fact, my mom bought this enormous stuffed dog for Carrie to play with at her house, and if you tell Carrie to go hug her dog she’ll run over to it and collapse on top of it to hug it. She really likes it if you stand the dog up on its hind legs – it’s about her height, actually – and make it hug her back.
(Sometimes I worry that my blog is becoming an incredibly boring “look how cute my kid is” sort of blog, but I don’t want to forget any of this. Besides, it’s my blog, nobody else has to read it if it’s that boring, right?)
Hi Sarah!
I’ve been lurking around your blog for a little while, and I must say, I love reading about Carrie. She’s the cutest little girl, and I think it’s truly wonderful that you’re capturing all these memories. My mom was able to do that with me, since I’m the oldest child, but she didn’t do nearly as much with my brother and sister, since raising three kids pretty much all at once must’ve been a little exhausting at times. Indeed, I’m sure Carrie will love all these pictures, memories, and reflections when she’s older. Keep the cuteness coming, it really shows how much you love your baby girl.
Oh, I just wanted to say thanks for posting about your Jayne hat. It inspired me to make one for my cousin, who exposed me to Firefly in the first place, and then another one for myself!
Keep up the great work!
