Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

New Discoveries


She said "Mommy" first! Our little Meredith is now 11 months and two days old. On her eleven month mark she said her sixth word. I don't really count a word until she has said it two or three times. But she says "Mommy" or "Momma", "more", "ouie", "amen", and "Thank you". When I ask her to say Daddy she still just says "D". Sorry Nathan. But if it is any consolation, Emily said "Daddy" first, so I guess it is my turn.
Emily has learned to jump like a frog. I was just playing with her showing her how a frog jumps and says "ribbit" and she just did it with me. She makes a great little froggy.

For Nathan's sake I'll write in that after I wrote this (later that evening) Meredith mastered "Daddy".
