Ring Ring

Lil’ A see.

Lil’ A do.

Double timing it with two remotes. She’s a busy gal with a lot going on, what can I say?

Talking on the cash register.

The classic shoulder hold.

See it. Do it.

Phone with shopping bag? Did it.

Chatting on an Etch-A-Sketch? Now that’s stretching it…

Is this a shoe?!

I’m surprised she recognizes that ancient (?!) phone with a cord.

Binoculars? Ya… that’s not gonna work.

This one’s actually a phone!

There’s that double-tasking cash register again.

Ring ring! Lil’ A speaking!!

Crib Folder

This girl.

For months she has thought that it’s a good idea to fold up the bottom of her pack n play. I can’t tell you the number of things I’ve found stashed under there…

She just thinks she’s too cute… (“Too toot”, as she would say).

And she thinks she can hide in the corner. Silly girl.

Yes, I’ve found food under there. Maybe she goes back for it later?

Or she sits over there herself.

I really just never know with her.

She’s the best.

These Days

Snuggles…?

Jumping in puddles is SO much fun!

Brave enough for the penny pony at King Soopers! Love that cheap pony. And that cute girlie.

We’ve had loads of hail this spring.

Piggy back ride, yes please!

A rare family pic…

And even more rare stroller nap after a walk.

Not a great picture, but Pikes Peak is incredible to see every day and this day it was particularly majestic and ‘other worldly’ looking…

She likes to lounge in bed in the morning before getting up.

Eating one of her favorite things after a bath. “Baaaaguuullll!!”

It’s the Shoe Stage

It’s the shoe stage and it has been for awhile…

Picked Up a Few Things…

I picked up a few things off the clearance rack the other day…

Indeed… it’s a BOY!

Zipper Happy

This collection started on Christmas Eve of last year, when my littler girlie discovered her ability to unzip her pajamas. For months afterwards we found her in all states of un-dress when she fell asleep at night or in the morning.

She sure tickles me…

I Tried to Talk Her Out of It…

She asked.

I waited.

Months went by.

She asked again.

I hoped she’d change her mind.

Months went by.

She asked again.

With tears in my eyes, I agreed.

I made an appointment.

Today we went.

Sweet N got her hair cut… waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

So silly right? I know it. She’s my little girl and had lovely long hair, just like little girls should! But she didn’t forget her desire for a haircut; she didn’t change her mind; I couldn’t convince her otherwise. So here you have it…

Before:

Sorry for three before pictures, she’s just so darn cute.

The stylist kept asking “Is this short enough?”

I’d look at N. I’d reluctantly ask her opinion, hoping she wouldn’t ask for more of her locks to be cut off.

Sweet N would say “No, shorter.”

Stylist would cut it shorter and ask again.

“No, shorter.”

And again! She asked three times for it to be shorter.

Waaaahhhh!!!!!!

She’s just so sweet. And she’s beautiful with short hair too, who knew?! ;)

Little spunk was so happy. Never a second thought. Never a regret.

Major haircuts can be so much more emotional for grown women (and Mamas like me, obviously) than it was for this girlie.

She’s her own girl…  independent and strong and knows what she wants. I love that. Reminds me of someone I know, in fact.
