{we love}all this personality...

over two months since my last blog update. tsk tsk tsk. i'm going to give you all a quick recap of what's been going on in the last two months...in pictures. yes, i am addicted to taking pictures of blue. i won't even try to deny it. never, ever ever. after all,  pictures say a thousand words. i hope you all can see the love and happiness in this little girl's eyes and know it's because we shower her with love every minute of every day and i know she feels that. i truly believe that is part of why she is such a happy, bubbly nugget. oh man i love her so. and her daddy and puppies do too.


p.s. someone wouldn't nap today. at all. so i may or may not have given her two pieces of tillamook cheddar and a bunch of cheerios while i was frantically trying to finish this. she loves cheese and carbs, what can i say? hope i don't need to make a miralax run later. i kid, i kid....

all the dvd's have since moved to the garage. i know, i'm a mean mama. her obsession with them was becoming unhealthy and she was neglecting her other toys. we needed to find more balance in her daily activities.

we call this the jack nicholson in the shining grin. she's mastered it. even he would be jealous.

at grammie's house in nevada this february. i was obviously more amused than she was. 

i was trying to nap. thought she was as well. creeper. 

aunt brooksie sent blue a darling new outfit for her first valentines day.  i think she was hoping for candy. epic fail in hiding her disappointment.

emmery and sutton during our february trip to grammie's.  em had a hard time containing her immense excitement with sutton being there. sutton didn't know how to handle all the aggressive love and attention. see the fear in those baby blues?

em's, terribly upset at sutton's rejection. sutton, terribly relieved to get some personal space.

see? the love IS mutual.

i know, blue....that's how i feel when i'm at grammie's too. sooooo happy. 

grandpa and blue with em trying to get in on the camera action. grandpa is getting really good at keeping his eyes open for pictures. you can thank me for that. 

em's, sparrow and blue. why is the oldest peanut the tiniest? 

very delayed flight going back to oregon. and very late at night. blue was a trooper. and yes, my eyebrows had just been freshly tattooed by the great b wagster. they don't normally look so....dramatic :)

there she is. the great tattoo artist. love her. love my new brows.

blue gets the munchies right after church just like mama and daddy. she thinks all things taste good, even books.

cousin amanda and me at aunt sue's in utah during my girls trip in march.

cousin love. and look at that foxy grandma right in the middle of it all. grandpa thinks she is foxy too. that's probably why they had so many kids :)

chan, me and half of brooksie. sorry girl. 

favorite picture ever. grandma ann and katie ann. 

sutton and miriam. cute cousins. second cousins. or first cousins once removed. who gets that anyway? 

i could eat her up. 

aunt brooksie's ombre book shelf was immaculately organized. and extremely tempting for those little digits.

first time in a shopping cart. at her favorite store. and yes, i used a pack of lysol wipes before putting her in.

favorite time of the day. let's take these puppies for a walk mama!

i often contemplate crawling right in and spooning her. then i read the weight limit warning on the crib.
