Oh do I love hats!?? I found this one in a boutique (Daniella Jay’s) back in October and I couldn’t resist it.
So what has my little love bug been up to lately??? She is such a handful!?? Jim and I are amazed at how many blue colored walls we have come across.?? We don’t even raise an eyebrow anymore – it gets a “humph” and that’s it.?? She finds markers every stinkin day pretty much.?? The other day she was sitting on my lap while I was processing.?? She was wearing long sleeves and had run out of paper.?? Before I realized it, she had chosen MY arms for her canvas.?? Jim found it highly amusing that I am so hyper focused I didn’t even realize my child had drawn all over my arms.
She tried to disassemble Grandma’s Christmas wreath tonight.?? Grandma will be pleased to know that no doubt.?? Every single day it is a myriad of trouble with her.?? It’s 1000 Q-tips all over the floor, and dental floss, then she empties my purses in my closets, gets into my makeup, draws on everything, finds scissors, puts things in the toilet, climbs up on top of everything, HIDES IN MY DRYER, today she panicked me when I found her with my compact flash cards, calls China on my phone, empties her closet so that she can change her clothes and shoes throughout the day…..it’s endless.?? She actually got a pair of leggings on OVER her jeans today all by herself.?? She is not even two years old!
She is loving dancing these days and loves to dance with all of us.?? She kept dragging me off the couch tonight while we watch So You Think You Can Dance so I would dance with her.
And today she was so cute.?? Braxtyn fell in the grass and Tori just mothered her to pieces and even dusted her all off.???? I look forward to spending the rest of my life with her.?? Amazing how my daughter filled “an ache in my heart I didn’t know I had”.
I am so in love with this picture (above).
Note to Liza:?? I was shooting with the 70-200 2.8L when I took these in October – the one I rented to second shoot that wedding.
Have I mentioned that she loves her boots??? If you look closely, you will see a hint of the hot pink duct tape.?? We are, sadly, not out of the woods on the diaper issue.?? Not by a long shot.?? I had to cut a call short with Heidi today due to an emergency in my front room.?? I used too short of a piece of tape and she got it off.
LOL.?? Funny girl.?? She is holding my business card.

I LOVE these, they are precious. I’m especially lovin’ the boots, pink boots go wth EVERYTHING!!!
Isn’t it amazing how she gets into EVERYTHING?! Is it personality or girls? (I’m sure there are a lot of mothers out there with boys that would disagree!) She is such a living doll, however. Grammy and I were just recently discussing how much fun it is to just sit and watch these kids – they are hilarious…especially due to the fact that they are yours and my other great nieces and nephews and I don’t have to “run” after my own anymore. (Now I just stay up praying, tee! hee! No, I love where I am with my kids right now – a very good place to be!)
i bet tori’s face in that last shot is a mirror of YOUR face when you find her having removed the duct tape. 🙂 that girl… oh my oh my… won’t you have fun when you are old and tired and she’s saying “come on mom – let’s go!” she’ll keep you YOUNG for life (or wear you out early… hmmm….) 🙂
