A hop, skip and jump...

In the past week or two, Blair has begun to skip / gallop all over the place. She mainly does it around us or when she's really happy and excited. It is super cute and makes us laugh (I have to join in). And, she LOVES to RUN. She loves to hold my hand and run up and down the hallway. Melts this momma's heart.

Just a few new photos

In my never-ending quest to stay on top of taking and publishing photos of my sweet girl - I have some new photos to post. These were graciously sent to me by Gammy and GranDad, so I am excited to post!

 

Nearly 2 years after having sweet Blair - I am still just as obsessed with her as I was the day she arrived. She is my favorite part of every day and reminds me just how wonderful life is. She is so full of life and of love. Travis and I could not be more blessed.

 

Some words I would use to describe this little Sassy-Frassy are:

 

 

Sweet

 

Determined

 

Loving

TALL!

Curious

 

Silly

 

Strong-willed

 

Energetic

 

Caring and tender-hearted

Loves the outdoors

She is the perfect combination of a tom-boy and girly-girl. She loves her shoes, jewelry and purses.

Look at my baby girl's BLUE eyes!

Playing with moss... I don't know what her fascination is with it - maybe because it is green? She does this at our house, too.

 

Yep, more of it

 

 

 

No, Blair! :)

 

Watching a worm in the water

This is the face of a determined and focused little girl!

She loves to balance on things (likes rocks around the garden)

I love this picture. It is so sweet of her little face, and all of that hair! I wish I could just bottle her up and keep her like this forever.

Happy Monday!

 

 

 



Feeding the ducks

Before gearing up for the SuperBowl, we took Bug to feed the ducks. As usual, the ducks were a big hit with little bit! She ate about as much bread as the ducks did and had a blast running around with Daddy and enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

 

"Come back here!"

I'd love to know what she was trying to explain here...

 

Getting SO big!

 

I love them.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Zoey!

Over the weekend, we celebrated sweet Zoey’s 2nd birthday! Ligia had gone all out and decorated with the theme of "monkeys." There were even bananas on the food table – so simple yet SO cute! Zoey loves monkeys and is “big” into Curious George, so it was perfect. The girls ran around and played and did some coloring (in their Curious George coloring books). Happy Birthday Z-Bear! We love you!

Blair - hamming it up for the camera!

We love you!

22 Months - Silly and Sassy

22 Months!

 

Eating - Blair's eating has really improved over the last couple of months. She now eats macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, hot dogs (and will actually dip it in ketchup) and sandwiches. Blair still loves her applesauce and yogurt, but at least she is beginning to be open to more kinds of foods. She uses her own spoon and fork pretty well and we are still working on drinking out of cups without lids.

 

Sleep - Blair is sleeping through the night, most nights. Sort of. I may have to start putting a sippy cup with water in her crib at night because she will wake up and say, "milk." I take that to mean that she is thirsty (since she asks for milk throughout the day). Although now that I type this - realize that she quite clearly wants what milk brings - momma, rocking in the chair, and snuggles to fall back asleep. More for me to work on.

 

Clothing / Diapers - Bug is in 3T, but mostly 4T clothing. I have been known to buy 5T from time to time when needed. Since she is now wearing pull-ups, she is in the 4T / 5T size.

 

Speech - there are really too many words, phrases and silly jibber-jabber from this small bit too name them all. My favorite thing she says is "I love you toooo." It's sweet and it's perfect. Her voice is perfection and when she says "Amen" after her prayers, my heart swells twice its size.

 

We have had a lot of fun this past month... and here are some pictures to prove it!

 

Celebrating Uncle Chris and Uncle Craig's birthday (and getting to stay up SUPER late!)
