"you my papa"

yesterday Harlow made 17 months. just one month shy of being a year and a half old. the rate at which she is growing is astounding me. i just can't get used to it. my teeny tiny little newborn is a KID. a total kid. and what a lovie little kid she is.

we must say, "my baby" a lot when we talk to her because a few weeks ago she started saying, "my baby" to all of her stuffies. it's pretty dang cute. yesterday i said, "where is my baby?" she pointed to herself. it was even more dang cute. so i kept saying it. then Papa walked in and Harlow said, "you my Papa." her first sentence!!! ah. my heart just throbs.

you my papa.

on a side note - we went to Northampton's balloon launch on Saturday. it was so incredible and beautifully amazing. i felt like a little kid. so much excitement and joy in seeing them fill and then launch. i loved every second of it. i think Harlow wasn't sure what to think.
