Growing Pains :(

You are growing more and more with each passing day. Unfortunately, along with the growing you are having really uncomfortable growing pains.  So much so that they wake you up in the middle of the night. You will cry and cry because you are in so much pain. That is until Mommy or Daddy gives you some Motrin. Mostly Mommy because Daddy doesn't "have his eyes in" and can't see anything without his contacts in! They have really been causing you a lot of pain recently within the past couple of weeks. It really breaks my heart to have you hurting so much - I just want to take all the pain away! Luckily it's nothing that a little Motrin can't fix. :) It just means that you are growing stronger and smarter everyday. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Growing Little Girl

Took this a couple of weekends ago when you were playing your timber game with Daddy - You look so grown up here! Makes Mommy both sad and happy. Sad that you are growing up but happy that you are becoming your own person.  I love you Peanut.



More Little Gym Adventures

You have really been advancing at Little Gym, improving more and more with each week that we attend. You are such a dare devil; jumping off of anything and everything! You can walk the high beam all by yourself with little assisance from Mommy. And your new favorite thing is to walk across the bars and then swing down. You will do that over and over again.

St. Patrick's Day Beauty

Your Auntie Kelly and Uncle Raymond sent you a package in the mail yesterday, the day before St. Patrick's Day. And what do you know? It was a cute green dress! You wore it today to school in honor of St. Patrick. You were the most adorable-green-wearing little girl I've ever laid my eyes on! And you were in the most fantastic moods this morning! You usually are in a really good mood but this morning, you were in an even better mood. You were all smiles, thumbs ups and hugs. Oh my, were you full of hugs! And you give the best hugs ever. You let Mommy take 3 pictures of you in your cute dress. Yes, I said, THREE! Mommy was a happy camper for sure!

So - Happy St. Patrick's Day!

September Preview

Your Uncle Brandon is getting married in September. Him and Auntie Shannon have asked you to be a flower girl in their wedding and Mommy is super stoked about that! You're too young right now to understand that but that means that you get to wear a super cute dress and walk down the aisle before Auntie Shannon and throw rose pedals down. We have finally found the dress that you will wear (along with your cousin Katherine) and it is to die for! You are going to be the cutest flower girl EVER. Well, besides your Cousin Katherine and Cousin Domi at Mommy and Daddy's wedding.



Fun With Daddy

You have found a new game to play with Daddy, where you sit on top of his head, we count to three and then as you fall to the pillows, we yell "TIMBER!!" You think that its the greatest thing in the world. And of course, you want to do it over and over and over again. This really excites Daddy. :)



Coloring - Diva Style

Just a little video of you being Diva-lious and dancing. You decided that coloring was just a little bit better with your sunglasses on.
