Our DIY Girl

First things first, take out the adorbale matching hair bow. Next, try to put my shoes on all by myself.

After several failed attempts, look to my mom for assistance. If only she'd actually get down here and help me and stop taking pictures!! :)

Fun Hair Clip

Lorelai is starting to become interested in headwear and accessories. She refuses to leave the house without a hat but also, oddly enough, still refuses to wear any sort of bow in her hair. As soon as I put one in she yanks it right out. One day she was dying to wear my hair clip. Guess it's that "grass is always greener" theory. As a loving mother, what could I do but oblige my sweet daughter?Of course two seconds later, while wearing a most innocent grin, she ripped it right out.

Good Friends, Good Food

This weekend Lorelai ate some yummy leftovers from Logan's. She refused to sit and eat without having her duck and sheep to keep her company.Now there's the smile that makes everything worthwhile.

Slippin' and Slidin'

A while back Dan, Jamie, and I took Lorelai and Landon to Monkey Joe's. The kids had a blast and the adults were totally worn out by the end of the day!

Dan was especially exhausted as he bore the brunt of the work hauling 2 kiddos around. It's good practice for him since we have our new additon coming soon. :) Jamie and I waited at the bottom of the slides so we could catch little ones and snap pictures.Here's Lorelai taking a ride down on her face.

A race to the entrance to see who can be pulled back in by Dan first!

What a gentleman! He lets the lady ride while he walks along beside her.

Head Gear

Not too long ago, and by that I mean about 2 months ago, Lorelai refused to keep a hat on. As soon as it hit her head, it nearly simultaneously hit the floor. Now, she basically refuses to leave the house without a hat or hood on her tiny little head. Here is a picture of her trying to dress herself. Please ignore the fact that she's still in her pajamas.

Playing Fetch...I Mean, Catch

With the weather being so cold last week, we had to resort to indoor activities to keep our wild child busy. We decided to play ball. Dan would throw it and she'd race across the room to retrieve it. As is usually the case with our little princess, she brought it back in a most unconventional way.

A Bit of Holiday Flair

Last month Lorelai was studying Native Americans at day care. She came home with this adorable headband. You can't really see it very well in this picture, but her name is written in blue glitter on the front of it. I know it's a bit late to include Thanksgiving attire in a post, but since it fit into the "holiday" theme, I figured I could get away with it. :)

Jamie has all sorts of cute head adornments to accent her photo shoots. We decided to let Lorelai warm these up for Valentine's Day.
