"A-movin' and a-kickin'." That's what I've been saying lately to JMC in my saccharine baby voice. I am not sure that the "a" (pronounced like "uh") has any sort of real grammatical basis. I could care less. She loves it. I have found I say the stupidest things to her, but she likes the repetition in my strange sayings. Eg: when she sneezes I always say "Ebe-sneezer Scrooge". Parenting makes one weird. Or in my case, makes me weirder!
I've had trouble getting a non-blurry photo of her lately because she's become so active. It's a ton of fun and makes me sad to think about how quickly she is growing up. Here are a few pictures of what she's been up to lately.
Doing a little dancing
Snoozing with her radish, the first crop from the AU community garden plot where she supervises the work of her dad and grandpa

Eba sneezer scrooge. Hilarious. She is super edible!! All their pics are precious, but they most edible for me is their first one. I wanna scoop her up and smother her in some kissies!!
And, of annoying note: I accidentally deleted "the" from my texting dictionary and can't figure out how to add it back, hence why nothing I just typed made sense. Ooops!
Too precious!
I love the photo with the radish especially!
As far as a-prefixing goes, apparently it has its origin in Old English (or alternatively, from Ireland) and has survived in Appalachian English. http://www.westga.edu/~dnewton/engl4300/a-prefixing.html
This post makes my heart drop out of my chest...! She is so big, I can't even believe it!!!! Can't wait to be with her for a little while in just a week!!!
Also, not convinced that you are any weirder than you have always been!
More more more more!!!! I can't wait to meet her but she's going to be all grown up by then. She's so adorable!!!
