At one point this morning, Papou, Yiayia, and I were having coffee at the kitchen table and you were standing next to Daddy-----as I looked over at you, I was amazed at how TALL you were standing next to Daddy. And so....the two of you marched to the playroom for measurements against your door.....1.5 inches growth spurt since August 9th! Not only is time flying as we watch you grow and mature but-----YOU. You are truly stretching to the sky----soon you'll be able to watch the birds flying overhead from just inches above your head! Daddy thinks you'll reach 6 feet! I can't argue when you're already towering to great heights standing next to us!
After your morning measurement, you joined Daddy and Papou outside to help carry the long, long ladder out front from Daddy's trailer. Papou was laughing at you helping carry the ladder for you were not truly hanging on to it but when he'd ask you if you were, you indeed said that you had it! Daddy took advantage of the slower, Sunday morning pace to hang your swing. Somehow the consensus was to hang it in the front yard rather than the backyard but all the same it's already been loads of fun! Prior to hanging it from the tree limb, Daddy tied you to the rope and swung you around----"Daddy, this is more fun than the fair!" And when you made it onto the buoy to swing about you called out, "I'm flying!"-----and within seconds, "Wait!" As you ran off inside, Daddy, Papou, and I stood there wondering what happened to you!?! Fairy-butterfly wings emerged in your hands as you exited the front door within seconds, "Mommy, will you help me put these on?"
"I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying!" This is what you did all day-----from one activity to the next you flew through our Sunday with Sophia-Speed slowing only to give directions for the next adventure and to eat all the delicious dishes Yiayia cooked for us all!
Little one, as you grow may your wings continue to flutter! May your endless imagination follow you to great heights and through journeys seeped in blessings.
Fly! When you land to rest and relax, Mommy will always be there to listen, to love and hold you!
We love you!

| Mesmerized: You were glued on what Daddy was doing! You wouldn't move back so that falling branches would not hit you. I shouldn't even have to tell you but YES, you wanted to climb the ladder alongside Daddy too! |
 |
| Daddy was hanging by a limb......I couldn't watch for long!?! |
 |
| Tied up in Fun: Daddy was swinging you! Papou was tagging you! |
 |
| Again!?! Daddy was catching his breath! |
