almost ONE

soooo....here we are again. so much has changed for the junebug. she's been walking for a month+ now. words seem to have meaning as seen in her reaction to them. and she's begun practice at whistling since she's got the zerbert down. she loves trains (who doesn't?), toast w/ peanut butter (again, who doesn't?), and bouncing her little tushy along to any old tune ( l ). june is a true joy - happy, friendly, fun loving, and expressive. oh, and she's begun sleeping through the night - hope i haven't spoken too soon. it makes all the difference in the world.

june will be ONE in a few shorts weeks. i can't believe it.
