my little girl loves apples...applesauce, apple chunks, and most of all, she loves saying the word apple. a lot. every night before she goes to bed, we read "the very hungry caterpillar". you would think one would get tired reading the same book over and over, but it really is a cute little tale (and it is so precious that alexandra starts clapping at the end when the caterpillar morphs into a butterfly!). any way, there is a point in the story where the caterpillar (who apparently is ravenous) eats a ton of food, including apples. when we get to that point in the book, i pause, point to the fruit, and she immediately says "apple!" with this huge grin on her face. i. love. it.
we were flipping through pictures on the computer today, and alexandra's face lit up when she saw these recent pics of her in her apple onesie. she just kept saying the word over and over, so we had applesauce tonight as a treat.
now if i could just get her to say pumpkin as clearly as apple - right now it is coming out as "punkaba" (who am i kidding, it's so stinking cute i don't want her to say it right!).

She is so sweet and growing so fast!
Love the big red apple and that big round belly! Colin has that book too and could read it over and over. He goes in waves with his books.
