Lola

This child, this child! Lola is very, very loving and very, very ornery! You know how God slowly reveals more and more of their personalities as they grow? With every little bit this little girl shines a little brighter. It is truly breathtaking... and she's only 14 months! Lola Marie is truly a destroyer. Smart. Hefty :-) Her latest nickname is Heavy Duty. Or according to Papa - Pot-licker. Maybe we won't tell her about that one. She is NOT a picky eater. Of course, at this point no one's afraid to give her cookies and cake!


Bright blue-eyes and white-blonde hair, she blows me away. She sleeps in, takes long naps, and goes to bed early. She's so funny. She follows M and P around and loves to play with them. She'll do just about anything for a laugh and she is doted on by all of us. Wherever I take her - Sunday school, Bible study nursery, M's preschool or the gym, she is loved! Friends gather 'round at church hoping to hold her - even though it's work!



She's walking and into everything. She took her time about it but when she decided to do it she had a one track mind. At first she would fall and then crawl the remaining distance to her goal. It didn't take very long before she was falling, but then standing back up several times in a row even if her goal was only a couple of steps away. She seems as though she will be very determined.


She doesn't have a lot of words right now but I think it's only a matter of time (and the fact that she has so many people able to speak for her). She signs a little, but vehemently :)

She is a MANIAC in the bathtub. Literally, does log rolls and dowses her head repeatedly. Can't turn to refill the toilet paper roll when this ones in the tub!!!


Her hair seems to be in a hurry to catch up with her body at this point. Since her birthday its' doubled in length, it seems.


She is in such a hurry to grow up...and it's gone so fast already. Our baby isn't going to be a baby much longer!
