She's grabbing each foot, rolling to the side, recognizing the bottle and eating 8oz almost four times a day, smiling at the sound of others speaking to her, grabing toys, hair and ear rings, making us laugh and fall more in love with her by the day!
Erin, Hope and Emma enjoying some time together on Thanksgiving Day. Standing up, Hope is just a half inch shy of being as tall as the twins who are exactly a year old!
Hope is a doll!!!! When she gets tickeled at something she quickly puts her hands together and brings them to her mouth...like in this picture! So cute!! 
Last Sunday night, the 23rd to be exact, I layed Hope in her bed expecting her to fall fast asleep. I had unzipped her sleeping bag while she was falling asleep with plans to zip her back up when I checked in on her. I went downstairs and on the monitor she was talking and laughing to her hearts content. When I walked into her room she had a foot in each hand and cackled out loud at me when I saw her, as if to say "look mommy I found new toys". 
Daddy and I read to Hope three to four times a day, its one of her favorite times. When reading to her you would think she is going to take off any minute with her legs and arms moving so fast. She coos the entire time as if talking!
