Ang-Ba-Nang

Quick Update on a few things Angela has been up to:

-Since her birthday, two things have just exploded for Angela - her love of reading and her talking. She loves reading books all of the time (by herself, with Carolyn and her babies, or with me). Her favorite books are about babies, Cinderella, and hippos.

-It's also been fun that she's been able to communicate better and talk to us so much!! It's very rare that she will utter a word to someone outside of her immediate family, but we love hearing her talk and talk. - Angela loves being silly. She loves making us laugh with silly faces and just being her silly self. On the fourth of July when we were all sitting there waiting for the fireworks to begin, Angela took it upon herself to entertain us all. She kept walking silly past us and making silly faces. She cracks us up.

- Last week, Angela went to a big girl bed and has done AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I was fully planning on the transition to be a complete nightmare, but she hardly blinked with the change. She just loves her "new bed" and loves laying in it and saying "My"...she loves that she finally has her very own big girl bed. Angela has always been a great sleeper. Even in her new bed, she sleeps soooo well at night and still takes a 3-4 hour nap most days.

- Along with a new big girl bed, Carolyn and Angela started sharing a room together about a month ago and it's been going wonderfully! We've tried putting them together a few times in the past and it's never really worked out great, but this time around both girls have been amazing being roomies.
-Angela loves to sing! Her favorite songs are If your Happy, Give Said the Little Stream, ABCs (and can sing it really well!), Popcorn Popping, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, etc.
Angela continues to love to take care of her babies and the family all day long. She loves setting out a pillow and a blanket for us (Andrew and me) and then telling us to lay down and go night-night. She does that all of the time. She also loves putting her babies night-night all day long and is so great at singing to them and giving them loves before going to bed.
