this girl loves to be outside.  often the first thing she says when i get her out of bed is shoes, dad and outside.  this spring weather has been so good to us and we spend a few hours out everyday. it has changed our nap schedule and she is napping up to three hours during the day and sleeping 13 hours at night.  playing hard will do that to a little girl. 

 this girl still loves her fellows.  my grandpa is her favorite.  she will sit with him outside for hours.  she shares his diet coke and brings him a straw.  i know not the best thing, but its their thing.  they have such a special bond and i am so glad.  we weren't sure if grandpa would be around to meet her.  whenever she sees him, she puts her arms up and wants to be right where he is.  

 she is the perfect combination of girly and athletic.  she loves her purses, babies, and stuffed animals.  at the same time, she loves to get dirty, climb all over everything, and make messes.  she is completely in love with her dads truck. i can't blame her because i love it too. 

she is so mischievous and the biggest tease.  sometimes the teasing gets her in trouble.

 her vocabulary is growing everyday.  she says coke, straw, shoes, coat, grandpa, baby, buba, binkie, kitty, maisy, stella, moo cow, go go, vroom, and the list goes on and on.  my favorite is her no's. she has a million different ways she says no.  my favorite is her teasing no.  she throws her head back and laughs as she says it.  i love it. 

this girl is attached to her binkie and blanket.  she will not go to bed without them.  something i should be working on, but i am in no rush.  we like our little routine. 

this girl is getting ready to potty train.  she lets me know when she goes and hides when she does.  i am thinking we will tackle that this summer. 

we are so smitten with this girl.  she is perfect for our little family. i wish she would stop getting so big so fast. we love you baby girl!
