The McCalls' Miracles: 22 Months!

I am so happy when I think about my girls. Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, dabbling in my photography stuff and also working on school work. I put you girls to bed around 7:30 and for a good while I could hear jibber jabber .... Molly, you got your knees stuck in the crib...so yours was a mixture of jabber and crying. I went in...rescued you....hugged you both....and then Macy, you started singing....beautiful non-sense singing that is bringing tears to my eyes, thinking back on it.

I am treasuring the non-sense talk so much, because it is fleeting. Every day, you both are learning new words and I know that soon, the jibber jabber will be gone. I dread that day. But, on the flip side, it is wonderful to see you learning and making connections!

Today, Molly, you went to the gate that has now become a part of our porch....you wanted to go play in the yard so badly....so, you looked back and forth between the yard and me....raised your arms up eagerly, and said, "Pay, Pay!" (play, play) How can you say no to that? I didn't!

Recent words:
pea - pop = peacock
shaa = share
too-choo = choo choo
Aaaaa-knee = Ernie (they love Ernie!)

Molly, you have the southern greeting down pat....you wave and say "Hi" to people....I love it! When you say "bye", it is the ULTIMATE southern sounding Bye....and very aggressive and strong!

You are both making progress with staying near me/Daddy when we're at a park playing...I love that.

When I come home from school each afternoon, you both look taller! You're little girls now, instead of babies.

I cannot believe you're almost two years old. You've given me so much joy over the last 22 months....and my admiration and thankfulness just keeps growing. For one thing, you sleep so well which helps Mommy and Daddy so much......you're good natured and play together so well. You're happy and fun and wonderful.

I have started crying in the mornings when I have to say bye to you. You're so much fun and I just want to inhale you! Spending time with you is the best thing I can think of.....thank you for being my precious girls.
