This phase of life is so fun, but so difficult. She's testing every limit she has. She's getting frustrated with us because we can't always understand what she's saying. We will make it through!

- Went to Bogg Springs with the whole Curtis fam for Easter and had the best time playing. The Mark Goodsons even stopped by to visit on their way back from camping.
- We went to Russellville to visit Simpson's farm. At first, she was scared of the animals (especially the chickens and goats), but she quickly warmed up and had a great time! She collected a fresh egg, chased the animals, pet the animals, threw food at the chickens and goats and palm fed a mini donkey!
- She stayed at Meme and Poppi's house for a few days.
- I wish I could freeze time with her right now. Her curiosity is contagious. I don't really know how to explain it. She thinks she has really conversations with us (we don't really know what's being said), but she also listens very intently. She is very proud of the words she does know and the things she can do. (17 months)
- New favorite things she does: says "byyyyyyeee" while waving her hand, "no" means yes, and she's now a hugger.

- She asks to go night night now. She will give me a big hug before I lay her down and say "night night".

- We left her with Lolly and Papa while we went to Chris and Brooke's wedding in Dallas.
- She and I stayed home alone for the first time for a couple of nights. It was terrible. There was a tornado warning.
- One of my current favorite things is when she is waiting for something, she'll sit on her bottom with her legs straight out in front and ankles together with her toes pointed. She'll either hold her hands up for me to hand something to her or rest them in her legs.
- When she looks for something, she says "hmmm?" And puts her hands up

- Started swimming lessons!
- When in a parking lot, she knows to "touch the car" instead of running around (thanks to Harlow).
- Drove to the beach with meme, splitting the trip with a night in Jackson. She took a 30 minute nap in day one which was all she needed, but was WIRED when trying to lay down in the hotel. She napper closer to an hour in the morning on the second day and was good to go until bed time.

- She's starting to grab our hands or put things in our hands when she wants us to do something for her.
