JEB: 27 Months Old!

Life with June this past month has been lots of fun ... She's as cute and sweet as ever and gets more hilarious each day. We can't get enough of her! Here's what she's been up to:

• Speaking in more thoughtful, complex sentences (e.g., "Ellen is sad, Mommy. I think she's "fwust-er-ated" and "Oh, Ellen, sweetie, what's the problem?!").
• Putting on her own shoes. She's tackled velcro tennis shoes and sandals and even manages to get the on the correct feet!
• Minding her manners. June has always been polite, but lately we're hearing "please," "thank you" and "'ya' welcome"ALL the time. My favorite is when June says (with genuine enthusiasm), "Why, thank you, Mama!" when I serve her a meal.
• Tormenting and teasing her sister. June knows just what buttons to push to set off Drama Queen/Miss Sensitive (aka Ellen). And, on more than one occasion, I've found June on top of Ellen, physically pinning her down.

Above all, June fills our hearts with joy and brings huge smiles to our faces every single day!
