day 139

you are a momma's girl. we hang out outside every day, read books, do dishes. i call you "cling on" because you always have to know where i am and want to be doing what i am doing. you say "bite-jack" and point to your eye several times a day because you got a bug bite under your eye a couple weeks ago. and it so happened that jack had the same bite too just under the opposite eye. i love your cheesy little face and all the talking you have been filling my ears with my dear marlee girl

marlee finally getting bubbles on her own
