I finally got the courage to cut Damon's hair. The back of his head was practically begging for some clippers! In case you're curious, yes, I did save his hair. It seemed odd to me to save a boy's first haircut hair, but I did anyway. He looks so different to me now!
Here is the before shot:
I've even cut more off since this was taken a couple of weeks ago.
Here is our little mama. She is so lovey to her dolls/animals. One of my favorite things is to hear her talk baby-talk to her dolls while she wraps them in burp cloths or hot-pads. This afternoon I put Damon down to sleep and he was fussing a bit. I left the room and had a sneaking suspicion she had gone in the room after I left, which she knows she shouldn't do while he is trying to sleep. I went upstairs to ask her to leave him so he could sleep, and when I went in, she was looking over his pack & play singing "Twinkle Twinkle". So cute! She then handed me a "blanket" (actually a crocheted pot-holder) to put on him.

Malia's first pony ride. She did better than I expected!

Can you say: rat's nest??
Malia could entertain herself forever at the sink!


We love carrot juice in our house. It's one of the only ways Malia will happily consume a vegetable. In fact, she often cries for it first thing in the morning when she wakes up. "Carrot juice, Mama!!"....No problem!
Here is the finished quilt! I bought the fabric over a year ago...but I'm glad it's done! We've been talking about switching Malia over to a big girl bed.

-While in the tub this morning, Malia exclaims: "Bubbles everywhere! That's pretty crazy!"
-Yesterday it was Nya's birthday. Very genuinely, Malia tells her: "Happy birthday, Nya creature!" (She also suggested we make her a cake!)
-Today I told Malia she has beautiful nails (they are long and feminine, unlike mine). She then said: "Gramma painted toenails. That's awesome!" (She was remembering Charlene painting her nails last month).
