A New Friend

It was the sweetest thing tonight...Adilyn and I were over in our neighbor's backyard. They just got a new greyhound. Adilyn loves him because he doesn't lick her to death like our dogs do. Well, she was crawling on the grass when the sweet greyhound came over and stood right over her. At first I thought he was going to pee on her, but he didn't...I moved Adilyn to another spot in the yard, and he walked right over and did it again. We think that he was protecting her or guarding her...how sweet...Maybe she'll be the next Dog Whisperer! =)

Troublemaker

When I went to pick Adilyn up from day care the other day, she was in a playpen and Mayra (the babysitter) said, "She got in a fight." I was shocked, and proceeded to ask her what had happened. She told me that Adilyn and her little friend, Alexandra, were playing when all of a sudden Adilyn reached over and stole Alexandra's pacifier right out of her mouth. FYI: Adilyn does not and has never used a pacifier. Anyway, Alexandra got mad and lunged for Adilyn to try to retrieve her precious binky. When she did she pushed Addy and they both started crying. Mayra had consequently separated them in two different playpens. What a little troublemaker...I have a feeling it's only just begun...

Cruisin' and Telling a Story

I only wish we knew what she was talking about...

I Want My Corn!

Here is a picture of our sweet little angel at my 30th birthday party last weekend. Her new thing is that she loves holding on to a big piece of something and munching on it forever. She loves to do this with animal crackers, green beans, noodles, etc...this day she chose corn on the cob. Things were going great; she was happily nibbling on it for quite some time. Then, the inevitable happened...it fell in the dirt! Now, being the kind of mother that I am, I firmly believe in the "5 second rule" and even the "30 second rule" if necessary, but this was pretty bad. So, here is the picture of how she reacted when I took the corn away...notice the new piece of corn in her hands - for some reason it still wasn't good enough to make her happy, she wanted the original back.

T-ball??? Sign her up!

She's already learned how to throw a ball! Man, this girl has skills...

Girls Wear Pink

Okay, so I'm the mom that feels like I can put my baby girl in browns, greens, yellows, etc. It doesn't always HAVE to be pink. But, what I do not understand is when my little girl does have pink on - why in the world do strangers constantly say, "oh, what a cute boy you have" or "how old is he"??? Are people just that non-observant? Addy had a bright pink shirt on today, not even pale pink, and three people at Kroger called her a boy. Now, my baby may be a baldy - but seriously, would I dress a boy in pink???
