Family picture: Easter 2012 |
The Princess absolutely loves Nana and Grampy's hill. |
Don't believe what I said above? Here's more proof. :) |
You should have seen her, y'all. My girl, the one who would scarcely make more than a second's eye contact a mere eighteen months ago, flaunted her advancing social skills all over the place on Sunday.
She ran and played with her cousin.
She ran and played with her daddy.
She ran and played with me.
She approached her great aunt and numerous other grown-up family members without prompting, made eye contact, and engaged them in interactions too numerous to count.
She showered us all in smiles and giggles. The audio from one of the video clips just kills me. She cackles, sings and squeaks. She and her cousin scream together in glee as they fly down the hill with Auntie G.
Sure, she spent a good amount of time in her quiet room, but - dammit - The Princess gets better and better at being around our huge, rowdy family every time we get together.
I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of her.
Awww, awesome Amy! So excited to see her come out of her shell more and razzle and dazzle everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteWe ALL had such a good time watching her have fun and interact with everyone. We even sang a subdued rather than rousing version of happy 5th birthday to the princess. She just stuck her fingers in the cake and didn't seem to mind the attention...btw, there were 23 people at this gathering!!!
