Ok, I don't really see how this meter can be right. I mean, Lizzy looks just like Brent, doesn't she? Maybe I was mistaken or maybe this meter doesn't work because I resemble Posh Spice in my photo. I realized that I have surprisingly few photos of myself and even fewer that are of my face straight on
.
So let me begin by saying that I LOVE my nephew, Ben. He's my favorite little boy in the whole world (since I don't have any boys of my own). He's the sweetest, most adorable, cuddly little boy that I've ever met. He laughs and laughs and smiles and giggles and you can hardly even stand it. He's also a very good hair bow model, which comes in handy for me from time to time.
Now just because I adore him doesn't mean he doesn't have any problems. He's a bit fussy at times. Ok, a LOT fussy, and he has a temper to boot. (see Cameron and Leslie's blog with the Santa photos) He doesn't nap well (hence the fussiness). His poo smells like a little piece of death wrapped nicely in a huggie, unless its a swamp poo. Nothing can hold the swamp poo. He also seems to sweat a lot for such a little man. Like, a LOT. A surprising amount of sweat. When he got out of his car seat, this is what his new hair cut looked like:
My camera didn't focus well, but you get the picture.
I feel like Jane and I are usually in a fight over what she's going to wear. She almost always wants to wear a dress, which is fine a lot of the time, but it's tricky in the winter. Fortunately, she has to wear a cute little uniform to preschool and she gets to wear a dress, so that at least solves the school clothes problem (for the time being). She never wants to wear anything warm and often thinks that dress up clothes are interchangeable with everyday clothes. Take for example today, we told her that she needed some quiet time and she went to her room to play. When she came out, this is what she looked like...
Most of the time when Jane comes out of her room, she looks something like this. There was also a purse that completed the look. She wore this all afternoon, all the while complaining about how cold it was. She's come to the point though that beauty comes before comfort, so she'll suffer through the cold to look THIS good. I'll give her this, she's got a sense of style, it just needs a bit of fine tuning.
This is Aunt Leslie's gift to Lizzy. The Shirt has a cute little deer on it. It's SO CUTE. Everyone should visit Crazy 8 in case you've never been there. Its like to Gymboree what Old Navy is to Gap. They have to cutest stuff and its so cheap!
This one was just so cute that I had to post it. Ben had just gotten up from his nap and he's just so cute I can hardly stand it!We had a very busy Christmas Eve and it finally seems to be over. Just a couple fun pictures of my sweet girls from today.
Jane got this dress up outfit from her Grammy at the Stringham family party on Sunday night. She put it on first thing this morning and wouldn't take it off. We finally convinced her to wear clothes, but she had to put the dress up on over it.
Here are my babes in what looks like a blur of pink and white polka dots! We took this picture tonight after they opened their Christmas Eve present, which is, of course, pajamas. How come pajamas are about the cutest thing ever? I just want to dress my kids in them all the time.
I love her little bag.
