new tricks

this is a lot of video, but jasper is growing up so quick we can barely capture new things. behold…

she eats!

she crawls!

she stands (and does a little arabesque)!

she climbs steps!

she wrestles!

she attacks (with a little help from daddy)!

she blows raspberries!

she chills!

yes we can

i have nothing to add to the conversation except that i can’t stop repeating “yes we can!” i say it over jasper as she sleeps in my arms. i whisper it into emmit’s ear as he throws his arms around me for a hug. i wake up thinking it. i want to sing it and shout it and paint it on walls and tattoo it on my body and write it in big loopy cursive letters. it is a mantra that fills me with hope and excitement for the future – mine and my children’s. it is a new mommie feeling for me and i like it.
