In My Momma's Shoes

Cailin loves wearing my shoes. She also loves wearing dresses. Every morning, she changes out of her pj's and puts on a skirt or dress. I've been indulging her, since it's like pulling teeth to get Ariel to do the same. So far, she's just my girly girl.

PB&J Breakfast

For the last 2 weeks or so, Cailin has wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast.

And not only that, but she wants to fix it by herself. Which is good, because it allows me an opportunity to go over the step by step process with her. We gather all the ingredients and sit them out on her table. She slathers the peanut butter and jelly on the bread.

She also eats the peanut butter and jelly off the knife! This is before she's even done with the sandwich. We'll have a talk about the double dipping rule.

Wiped Out

Day #3 of the photo challenge.
I'm amazed at the way little ones fall asleep. This photo makes me wish, I had a picture of Ariel and Cailin falling asleep standing with their head on a chair or hanging off the bed.

TWeenage Fashion

I'm participating in a Photo-A-Day Challenge. My goal is to nail the exposure in camera. This is my photo for day #2. I've decided that I will TRY to post every photo. Especially since every photo tells a story of our life.
So these are the shoes that Ariel begged for and that I'm making her work off in chores around the house. After all, they are $70+ shoes! I like that she likes to express herself. But.....

Rylie- 10 1/2 months

You're getting to be such a big girl and I'm a little sad about it because that means that you aren't going to stay my little baby forever. You are a good crawler and recently you've begun to stand for a few seconds. You weigh around 20 pounds. Your height and weight is about the 50th percentile. You are a happy baby. You make so many different sounds, that I believe you will be an early talker. You say "ma-ma", "da-da", "yea"(which sounds a lot like yes). You shake your head no (a lot of the time you really mean it). Just the other day you drank water from a sippy cup. Your a bit of a picky eater. You prefer crackers and Cheerios. And just about anything off our plates. If I try to feed you vegetables after all this, then it's a guarantee that you won't eat them. You taste a little from the spoon to see if it's something that you would like to eat. You wave hello and bye-bye. You like the trampoline and when I say "jump" that's exactly what you do. You throw yourself back while kicking your legs, I guess tantrums are coming early for you. We love you sweet, Rylie!
