Little Mama

i have had the honor of playing stay-at-home-mama for the better part of the summer. it started out a little rough as Lofton had started whining whenever i was around and begging to be held constantly. after about a week, i think she knew i wasn't going anywhere so she morphed back into her sweet, confident, and BUSY self.
L sure looks like a baby with her sparse 'do, tiny stature, and paci (as soon as we move, promise!), but she is all toddler. i have seen this so much in the way she plays and it melts my heart everytime. She has become a little mama! Lofton "shares" her milk, goldfish, and paci with each of her stuffed animals and babies. she even shares with characters in books! she also leans down and gives all of them sweet sweet kisses. she is moving past the open mouth/bite style of kissing and has almost worked up a pucker. she kisses everyone. we'll address that in time :) then she covers them up with a blanket and says "night night" too cute!
