A Colorful Visage

All I can say is a sheet of stickers can be very entertaining.

First Haircut

On Saturday Lorelai got her first haircut. She wasn't in dire need of one as her curls kept her length in check, but she just needed her ends evened up a bit. She was a real trooper and did a great job, especially when they trimmed her bangs!

She kept her larger-than-life Spongebob Squarepants with her as a comfort item at the start of the haircut.

It's amazing how long her hair really was once the curls got straightened out.

Pointing at Spongebob on TV.

She looks unhappy, but I think it's just the way the lady was holding her face.

The grin says it all.

Extreme Sports

Ok, so jet skiing may not be considered an extreme sport, but when you're not even two years old yet, I think it probably qualifies. Here you will find yet another installment of activities we got to indulge in while in Florida, and by "we" I mean Dan and Lorelai. :) As usual, our little daredevil loved every minute of her new adventure.

Bidding adieu to those of us who remained on land.

Smiling for the camera.

Her first driving lesson.

First Time at the Beach-Take Two

First off, please forgive me for the vast number of pictures in this post. As many of you already know, Dan literally took over 250 pictures in the very short period of time we were actually at the beach, so I had quite a bit of sifting to do. Secondly, I apologize for my tardiness in getting this post completed. As I said, there was much editing to be done and I knew it was a project that would require a block of time when no one was home and nothing else required my attention. Enter summer break. :)

When we left Miss Lorelai she was staring at the ocean wondering if she would venture into the great beyond once more. She decided to consult with her cousins Christine and Bella who live there year round and could offer some sound advice.
Before embarking on any more adventures, the proper eyewear must be in place.

Bella is there to offer moral support.

Defying gravity.Watching from the sidelines as Bella shows off her fancy footwork.

Running to give her daddy a big bear hug.

When you refuse to wear a barrette this is the only way to keep your hair out of your face.

Heading straight for the camera. Lookout Dan!

Back to the business at hand...getting into the ocean.

Apparently Lorelai's not ready yet.

Maybe with Ken's help she'll make it further this time.

Maybe not.

At least she made it out with a smile on her face.

Making a splash.

How adorable are they?!

Precious!!

The many faces of Lorelai.

About to take a dive.

Taking a break.

Chillin' in the sand.

Finally going in all by herself. Hooray!!

Love how her tongue is sticking out. Notice how her shirt is soaked all the way up to her mid-torso. Am sure it had nothing to do with her plunge into the depths earlier. :)

Love the hair flying in the wind.

Waving "bye-bye" to the ocean. How sweet!

Not too happy about the foot wash.
