Daddy and baby girl have this thing. It goes like this:
He: Are you my buddy?
She: NO!
He: tickles her and she laughs uproariously
Repeat. Indefinitely.
Date: yesterday
Scene: Talking bear that recites The Night Before Christmas is sitting on the table
She: Are you my buddy?
She (for the bear): No!
Bear: Twas the night before Christmas...
She: TICKLE, TICKLE!
Repeat. Indefinitely.
And in the words of Mastercard....priceless!

Out of the mouths of babes
Tomorrow our little one is scheduled to have ear tube surgery. (Still won't be sure until we get there if they will do the surgery...the fever is gone, but she has a really bad cough) Everyone says it's a "no big deal" kind of experience, but to a mama EVERYTHING is a big deal when it comes to your child.
So, in an effort to prepare her....tonight in her bath I asked her which animals she wanted to take along with her. She spun around in her tubby, looked at me and smiled and said "Jesus."
(Jesus is her little lamb that sings Jesus Loves Me....she also has a bear with the same name)
I started to cry because I thought "how appropriate" and she doesn't even really know.
Or does she?! :)
Bathtime continued with several renditions of the song....

The Little Pilgrim's Third Thanksgiving
Due to nature's complications, we opted to stay home this year for Thanksgiving. A quiet, family-oriented day with some pretty good food, might I add. Below some meal excerpts:
"Cheese"
When asked what she is thankful for, consistently she replies: "Milk!"
What I'm thankful for!
Dinner fare: bananas, noo-noos, and grilled cheese

What a cute chick!
And here, some pictures from Happy Halloween:
Two years out of the same costume: woohoo!
How do I get these feet off?
Game of chicken, anyone?
Post-trick-or-treat chow (yeah, that was mama's idea...wear her out and she'll eat!)
Happy 2nd Birthday
Well, here it is...the long awaited picture posting. Each night I think I will be more motivated to write, but the exhaustion takes over. The only difference tonight is that, well, it's almost Thanksgiving and there will be more pictures to post!!
The BIG GIRL as she is now called has advanced amazingly in the last 3 weeks since her bday. Only the week prior, everything was "pink." Now, all her colors are in order. And her ABCs....she sings them over and over and over....in the quiet of the car (yeah, right) all of a sudden I'll hear: "There's an H; there's an X; there's a P." Wow. The brain is simply amazing. And now, on to the pictures:

Her favorite present (from Grandma)
Opening Mommy and Daddy's card
Modeling in her dress
She was very specific about which balloons she wanted. 2 on every chair
Some of The Spread
Agreeing to wear the tiara, but only for this picture
Lunch with her peeps. Round one. 9 kids total. Round two ate after swimming lessons
For the balloon themed party, I hired a balloon artist. Here they are in rapt attention. She was a hit!
Riding her horsey (great hand-me-down from Paul)
Well, at least I got a picture before we ate it all. Bakery cake this year.
