Rose 11 months June 28

I can hardly keep my hands of this little girl. Honestly she would prefer me not to let her go. When I'm around I'm the only one who can hold her. I'm told that when I'm not around she chooses one person who is her favorite, but doesn't cry for me.
Neall just said that she is the smilingest little booger. That is the truth. She is a happy little girl. She tries to do everything Sol does. She wakes up around 6:30 and says dadadada and tries to get him up. Neall usually gets up and goes and snuggles with Solomon. When Sol gets up around 7:30 Rose is ready to pounce. She gets so excited to get in bed with him. He is really sweet to her 99 percent of the time. He gives her a little push now and then. She just falls over and smiles.
She goes to bed around 8 and sleeps until 4 and then gets in bed with us. I love to cuddle her. She is getting bossy. She loves a sippy cup, but would rather have a straw or better yet whatever Solomon is having. If she doesn't want something she takes it and throws it on the ground. She is an awesome eater. She eats stalks of asparagus, salmon, and anything presented to her. She does have taste buds, I was worried, she had a vegetable medley and she picked through and only ate the peas.
She's saying Mommy, Daddy, Thank you, Uh Oh. Blows kisses, plays peek a boo, patty cake, signs twinkle twinkle and more. I think she says "theresheis." Rose also loves to say yea. She says it after everything. If she takes a bite of food she may say Yea. She loves the swimming pool. We have to be very careful around water because she will walk straight to the edge and get in like she's going down a step. She'll go under with no problem.
Solomon loves the swimming pool as well. He has this froggie swim thing that keeps him up that has worked really well. I had to hold him down to put it on him and throw him in the pool the first time, but that's all it took and now he loves it. We go to the CRCC a few afternoons a week after work. Neall and I take turns swimming laps while the other plays with the kids. Solomon will let us "throw him away" and go under and he pops up and says " UUUUGGGH that was fun."

Solomon has been is costume "costune" most of the time for the past few months. He loves his shark towel, alien towel, buzz lightyear, spiderman, dog towel. He kept his buzz lightyear costume on for a week. We took it off only to wash. Laura got him the costume. She is now his favorite.
Rose is learning to walk. It's the beginning of July and she's pretty good now. She has been able to stand up in the middle of the floor for a few months now. She walks until she falls and then begins to crawl. If she needs to get somewhere fast she crawls.
