pirate peek-a-boo and a belly laugh

i have four words to start off this post: curse of the blogger.

on to other things.

alaythia grace is now 8 months old. some of her favorite things are.....

**she loves to play pirate peek-a-boo. she places one hand over one eye and waits for you to say it. it's a modified version, but a fun one.
**she thinks that her brother hangs the stars. it doesn't matter what she's doing, or who else is around, the second isaiah is near he has her full attention. that leads me to...
**her new laugh. a deep, long, go-'til-you're-out-of-air-and-your-face-turns-red laugh. isaiah, who has been especially hungry for attention of late, LOVES to make his sister laugh, and she's his captive audience. she laughs and claps, egging him on. it's a great combination for now. oh how i wish you could hear her belly laugh. it makes anything right.
**her favorite song seems to be 'joshua fought the battle of jericho.' she gets much more theological songs sung to her, but whenever this is sung, she especially perks up.
**moses. yes, it has passed to the next child. he comes in a close second to isaiah in terms of attention getters. when moses is present alaythia spends her time adoring him. letting him lick her face, lay on her lap...i'm not sure who enjoys it more, her or moses.

two thirds of a year has passed. hard to believe. needless to say she is a blessing and joy.
