smiley

that is what Mallory's Papa calls her...
and when she smiles, it makes me smile! She's contagious like that ;)

summertime

Mallory loves her baby dolls! She kisses them, feeds them, and shares her milk with them. She carries them all over the house, wraps them in her blanket, puts them in the stoller and takes them for walks up and down the street... even when it's 101 degrees outside.



She is the sweetest little girl and is going to be the best big sissy ever!

She's learning to share. Sharing is hard. You want something you didn't know you wanted until someone else wants it too... then it's confusing because you want it more than ever.
So, in teaching Mallory about sharing, that means Mama and Daddy have to share too. Again, sharing is hard.

Mallory likes to share Mama's coffee...




and Mama's mango popcycle...


and Mama's jewelry...


She's learning new things everyday. Words, phrases, tasks, emotions, foods, colors, and animal noises.
She's know for a while that a dog says "ruff-ruff." In fact, that is the noise all animals made until this week.
Now, a kitty-cat says "meoooow," a tiger says "Rahhhhhh," and a duck say "duck." Not quack. Duck. Maybe tomorrow she's learn that one ;)
