Junebug

As the summer gets longer, so is the Girlie.  She looks different every time I look at her!  Her muscles are getting stronger and she's building up that vocabulary.  We've gone from mamamama and bababa, to dadadada (her current favorite) and nanana.  Compared to last month at this time-- look at all that hair!

And she absolutely loves to blow air through her lips to make a noise like a balloon letting out air.  Not sure if she got that one from Aaron or myself, but we'll chalk it up to Daddy.

Speaking of Daddy, he has been entertaining us not just with silly noises but with hilarious songs as well.  He's been composing these fabulous pieces since her birth, but they just keep getting better.  It's amazing what one can do when you have words like diapee and wipee along with poopee and dupee with which to work.

His repertoire has featured songs such as:

~"Highway to the Diapee Zone" set to the tune of "Highway to the Danger Zone" of course

~"You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Poopee" ("You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Party" by the Beastie Boys)

~"We Like to Potty" ("We Like to Party")

I'm thinking record deal.
That Daddy...

An eternal jokester, he always says that when the Girlie gets food around her mouth while eating she reminds him of Captain Morgan-- that's right, the one and only goateed spokesperson for a rum with the same name.  Because of this, he sometimes talks in a pirate voice while feeding her.  Comical.

In honor of Father's Day, let's have a toast to the pirate in all of us!  Here's to all the captains in our lives!!

Ay, ay, matey!
Prunes definitely do the trick...

Happy [early] Father's Day!!
