Wild Child

Naomi in full laugh mode!



She knew it was a pillow inside and did not want to open the gift!
Two of her favorite things, her doggy and her baby. All sitting on her little throne.





Our baby turned two on December 12!!! I can't believe it.


The best way to describe Naomi is just that she is wild. If given the littlest amount of sugar she will start running in circles and going crazy. She loves to dance and do anything that keeps her in motion. She loves it when she gets thrown into the air and gets to free fall back into someones arms or onto their belly as her Uncle Terry did with her. She loves to twirl and can really get down when music is turned on. She does what I call a sumo dance-she spreads her feet and wiggles her bottom and squats down all at the same time then when she gets down she smacks both her hands on her knees just like a sumo wrestler. It is hilarious to watch!



The next best way to say anything about Naomi is that she is two. She loves to say no and she knows how to pout and fuss. She also knows how to bat her eyelashes and act all innocent. Her favorite answer is Rae-Rae(our nickname for Rachel). If you say did you do that? "Rae Rae" Who picked up? "Rae Rae" What happened in this room? "Rae Rae" Even sometimes, who are you? "Rae Rae". Good or bad it is Rae Rae. But oh, does she love her sister! They are first to hug or give each other good night kisses.


She is also the baby of the family and knows it. She will let us hold her and carry her more than anyone else. She likes things being done for her but do not leave her out. If she sees anyone of us doing something or eating something she does not have she will keep asking. We really have to put our foot down with her more than the others. And do not let size deceive you, she typically eats as much as our almost five year old. Is there are five things on her plate to eat but there are six things on the table she starts in on how she needs to have more of that one thing because it is not on her plate. We thought it was boys that eat you out of house and home!

Though small in size her speaking has never been small. She has been the one that can literally jabber for five minutes where you can get maybe one word out of the whole thing,
usually Rae Rae. Now that you can understand her for the most part she still does not stop talking. We have recently had to start telling her to hold her tongue in order to get some piece and quiet in the car. Then that makes us laugh because she sticks out her tongue and lays her hand on it. Very cute.


Most of all she is a blessing form God. We pray each day that we remember that and treat her such. He sure knew that we could always use more laughter and humor in our home. And she keeps us laughing!
