A Fun Video update

I thought that I would show you a video of some of Shiloh's latest "tricks". She learned to say her name this past week and it is very cute as you will see. It sounds more like "shiwo" but none the less she knows that it is her name. She is trying to talk so much lately and on one hand I want to help her to communicate, but on the other it means that my little baby is waving goodbye and my little girl is saying "hellwo". Tonight as we were playing I told her to say "Hi dollie" she said "hellwo dowi" It was precious. She is going to be a very verbal 2 yr old I can already see this. She is learning the sounds of animals and is trying to pick them out when I hold up her flash cards. Her latest trick is gymnastics on our couch. She will try to climb up, which she is very close to accomplishing, and then run back and forth. It all culminates with her usually jumping off at me. Not a trick for he unsupervised moments. She waves good bye very well, but at the end of the video I asked her to say good bye and I thin that she thought I was going bye bye and that didn't settle well.

Here she is folks The Amazing Shiloh Cooper!!!!!!!!!

We Are Back

Our family vacation was so much fun. We went with my parents on a cruise to the Bahamas. None of us had ever done anything like this before and I think that we would all do it again. We flew to Miami where we boarded the ship on Mon. Dec. 7th. It was huge!!! The ship was about two football fields in length and 7 stories high. I have never been on a boat that large. There were around 9 resturants, a basketball and volleyball court, two swimming pools and several hot tubs. There was live entertainment at night and plenty to do during the day at the different ports that we stopped at. There were three ports of call, Free Port, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cay their private island. We swam on the boat, ate like kings and queens, and saw some fun shows. On the islands we walked around, toured historical sites, took a glass bottome boat tour, as well as spent a day at the beach. It was so fun! Here are a few pictures of our vacation.
Merry Christmas.
