Summer Fun

Jacie's summer has been a lot of fun so far. Nana gave Jacie her own Jacie-sized rocking chair. Grandma TeeTee came to visit for a few days, so she took lots of outings and got to get in her Jacie-sized pool again. She has scooted all over the house, the back patio, and Mama's school. Poor Harley has been poked on, screamed at, sat upon, and had her fur, ears, and tail pulled. She's getting to where she just gets out of Jacie's way if she sees her coming. Jacie is showing us how smart she is all the time-- she's now learned to find the owl in one of her books and she is able to connect it with the owl Mama has in her garden (that's supposed to scare off the other critters but apparently DOESN'T!). She can hoot like the owl when cued, but otherwise she seems to remember it as. "OOOHHH." She contiues to talk about Dada all the time, and she seems to use it pretty universally, although she gets more excited when she actually says it to Jon. (However, the traffic guy on the news was Dada, as well as the president.) We try to get her to say Mama, but she responds with Dada!!! (Is she arguing with me!?!?) She kisses everything from the dog, to her baby doll, her reflection, and pictures of her or other babies. She's so good-hearted...we couldn't be more blessed!!!
