Funny Funny Freya Jane

While on a picnic on a glorious summer day, this funny little girl, cheese stick in hand....goes munch, munch, munch....Then....seemingly out of nowhere a few minutes into it, she flings her arms and arches her back with unprecedented strength for a baby her age. Escape. Escape Escape. It's always on her mind. Better watch out, Daddy...but at least you are used to it:) This little firecracker of ours cannot be contained----I cannot image what life will be like when she starts walking (which doesn't look to be very far away.) I simply feel bad for the newcomers, the innocent people at church that say, "Can I hold her?" The response in my head is always, "Good luck." But my real life response is, "Sure" all the while praying that they hold on tight! And usually, they hand her back to me fairly quickly saying something like, "Wow! She is so strong." Yes folks, that's our little dear. I must admit, I am looking forward to holding a newborn soon that just rests quietly and peacefully in your arms:) Freya Jane, we love you...back arching, arm flinging, escape-minded you. We can barely keep up, but it is a joy to try:) Happy 8 months today!

She is a darling, busy girl!! Can't believe 8 months already! Is she crawling yet? Summer has done some... and I'm just not ready! She's also loving to stand, holding onto fingers... it just seems to be going by so fast...
Love you, friend.

Oh goodness. I love it! What an adorable girl she is! Abby always surprises people with her strength too, especially since she's the size of a 2 month old, at 6 months (can't believe she's getting so old!).
