Shiloh is such a big girl with a rapidly developing vocabulary. Of course, we think she's a genius. She knows her numbers 1-10 and probably half of the alphabet. She was babbling the other day while playing and spelled "Beaujolais" from memory having seen it on a decorative sign we have hanging in the kitchen. The previous day she impressed us by counting backwards down from 5.

Most mornings we like to search the front lawn and push any sprinklers down. Favorite foods include pancakes, grapes and cheese (and she always insists a "big piece"). She often asks if we can get "cold, cold" from the frozen yogurt shop by our house.

She loves the dog and loves to get kisses from her but also likes to lie on her, squeeze her tightly, grab her fur and sometimes swat her. We're working on being gentle...
