The Little Lady in Action

This past week has been a fun one as our sweet girl started using her voice abundantly!!  She is still known to be silent for hours on end just looking around and soaking up the world around her, but lately she has filled those silent voids with her sweet, little voice.  It's fun to listen to her play with different tones, going from a high shriek to a low growl often surprising herself with this knew revelation of having a voice!   

 

In the past few weeks, Zaylee and I have moved into a wonderful daily routine that we have grown quite fond of!  The new consistency of routine has truly helped in her napping and waking in a happy, too cute for words kind of mood!  I often hear her talking in there for quite a while before she makes it known that she wants out.  This is a little snippet of her as I went in to greet her after waking.  Oh how I love those eyes!! 

 

As we were watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics (which brought with it sadness as we have truly enjoyed our nights watching all the action!), we were showing Zaylee how to sit up on her own.  I have been practicing this with her, but she is more interested in standing then she is sitting so it was a bit unsuccessful!  Last night, however, she gave it a true effort.  She was doing so great and seemed to be pretty proud of herself, as she kept getting better after each little tumble.  We managed to get a bit of it on film before she had had enough.  She is growing up so fast, but it's so fun watching her figure out new things and accomplish little milestones.
