Lavender has always been pretty independent, but here are some pictures to document her growing strides at becoming a "big girl."
I made little missionary name badges for the kids when I taught Primary a few weeks ago. Lavender was thrilled to have one for herself! When the sister missionaries came for dinner the next week, she was so excited. She sat next to them, got chocolate on them, talked incessantly and finally took charge of the lesson. They showed us a video about fathers and then asked each of us questions about our fathers/fatherhood. Then Lavy jumped in and asked each of them to tell us about their fathers. I have a feeling she will be a great missionary some day!
Cousin Alyssa is an amazing dancer and is teaching a preschool ballet class at the studio. Lavender is so independent that she chooses her own moves or gets a drink of water instead of following her teacher. Hmm. Still working on that one!
We know she's happy when we hear her singing and playing with her
animals. Here she is taking them on a train ride. She's a good little mommy.

We went to the beach one evening and Lavender played in the sand while we played frisbee. It wasn't long until she took charge. She grabbed the frisbee, buried it in the sand and sat down on it. She was so proud of herself and we couldn't stop laughing.
She dresses herself every day and is perfecting the art of putting on her shoes.
Lavender accompanies Jenny and me on our morning walk. She loves taking selfies and I especially like this one that captured those of us actually getting some exercise. One day the stroller got a flat tire so we walked around the track at the park while waiting for John to come over. Lavy walked with us for about a mile. She moved those little legs to keep up with us!
Here's another app she loves. She captured her sassy side with this one.
We sure love our independent little big girl!

Loved all your cute posts of Lavender. She is really adorable and quite a character. She looks so much more grown up and is acting the part too. Her hair is darling! Give her a love from Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave.
