so big, so loud

cassidy sure can express herself. this weekend, it seemed like all she could say was:

"iiiiiii-eeeeeeeee!" -- a scream of excitement when she saw mike or grandma

"(insert machine gun sound here)" -- one heck of a laugh

i can't wait until her 1st birthday party next month (i finally found some sesame street stuff to make cards!). she's gonna be something else.

here she is in a quieter moment, reading the paper. ah, peace.
