She’s currently scream-singing in the kitchen as she sees a mess on the floor that needs attention,
“CLEAN UP, CLEAN UP! EH-BUDDY, DO MY SHARE!”
Apple doesn’t fall far.

One of our favorites:
It’s short but sweet, and inevitable whenever we play a rousing game of hide-n-seek:
“…Where ARE Rooo?”
And here’s another she said last night. I was kneeling by her bed asking her if she wants to pray for her friends & she said, yes. So we were naming her friends and I suggested her teacher @ Parents Day Out, “Ms. Shelly”, to which she responded,
“No, Ms. Shelly not my friend. Ms. Shelly too tall.”
“Ms. Shelly hairs is cray-see. Her hairs is … circles.”
I thought that was pretty cute and intelligent. It made me smile, like so many things that come out of that lil mouth of hers.
Earlier tonight Angel was just crackin’ me up…running to the bathroom, running back to the couch (where we were all trying to watch Bedtime Stories), and she puts some toilet paper up to Daphne’s nose & says seriously, “Ok, blow!” and then as if it will help Daphne to see it visually demonstrated, Angel blows as hard as she can out her nose Read more…
“wuh, choo, fee, fart…”
The family tradition continues…from my husband’s mom, and then from us to our son…and now we’ve got our baby girl hooked. Last night she woke up at 11:45, crying. She sat in front of a bowl of Cocoa Crispies, and almost nodded off into it, until something jogged her awake & she ate. After crawling onto our bed, she laid there with me as I finished a movie. She was sick, so it was allowed. Then shells onto her tummy and says,
“Momma, kee-kle back.”
I asked my husband if he heard her, & he smiled. My fingertips barely traced her back ~ in circles, figure 8′s & criss-cross patterns, just like I’ve tickled my son’s & husband’s for years, and just like his mom tickled his, as a child. Angel was so lethargic, we were willing to let her stay in our bed overnight for the 1st time, but when she had her fill, she slithered off our bed & snuggled back into her own. I was kind of disappointed. These are the kind of sweet moments that, if I let them, make me cry.
This morning as I was warming up Angel’s milk, she came up behind me, proceded to “pants” me, poke my butt and say with a proud sense of discovery (and might I suggest a bit of a Texan accent?),
Momma HawNee!
Momma HawNee!

Since October ’07, I’ve been journaling little phrases I’d overhear my Braylon Emmanuel say. If I ever get amnesia or Altzeimers or just let time go by & forget the details, I will be sooo thankful for this category. So now that my lil princess is really startin’ to talk, it’s time I created a category all her own. Ricky helped with the creative title : )
So as of today, I’ll be jotting down the cute or funny or thought-provoking first words of our Angel. Because life really is about delighting in the details. Angel’s been saying adorable two-word phrases for a few months. ie: she’s really grasped please and thank-you, in context, which always brings a smile. But I just want to make sure, before I forget it, to note her 1st three-word phrase she said (last night), right after my husband gave her the traditional bedtime snack he gives them every night, a bowl of cereal.
“Tay-Too, Daddy, Shee-woe”
