Q52 Week 52: The Feeling Isn't Mutual

Love wouldn't even begin to describe her feeling for our pets. I'm not sure Murphy would use the same adjective towards her. Indifference, maybe. He's warming to her, though. Verrrrrrry slowly.

Q52 Week 50: Pigtails and Big Girl Chairs

When she smiles, she looks like me. No smile, she looks like Dad - you can see it in last week's post. To get her to smile here, I just told her to say Riley's name. Riley is one of the pups. She says it so adorably: RI-REEEEEE!!!!

Q52 Week 49: tubby time!

This little one loves the tub. I mean, loves. When we sing the bathtime song (which is made up each day), she two-steps all over the place. She loves watching the water fill the tub, and enjoys throwing all her toys in. 

What I love about bath days is watching her little tush as she runs naked from her bedroom to the bathroom. I won't miss her bowed legs when they're gone, but they are pretty freaking cute while they're here!

Q52 Week 48: so it begins...

It's the holiday season! You know you sang that to yourself when you read it. 

Driving around my neighborhood this evening and seeing all the lights got me so excited for the Christmas season!! I have to be honest, the Christmas songs started last week. "All I Want For Christmas is You" is how we start our day. (Yes…Mariah. She rules.) 

This weekend is full of plans of tree lightings, Santa parades, and the like. And I am pumped.

He'll be coming down the chimney down!!

Q52 Week 47: our little teenager.

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was weaning her from nursing. In fact, if it weren't for my need to get a regular period in hopes to stop it again (see: trying for baby #2), I would still be nursing her! It is when I see her doing such human things, like washing her hands or brushing her teeth, that I am dumbfounded. 

She's been using her stepstool to simulate brushing her teeth for the last week or so. I normally keep it off to the side of the sink, but it's a little awkward for her to reach for the faucet, so I turned it around for her. When she climbed those steps the first time, I just stood there thinking, when did you grow up? 

I'm not sad about it - every new step has been so much fun that I am not mourning the things that aren't happening anymore. It is just so so so amazing.

Below is the runner-up for this week's Q52, and also my view all week. Taking care of a sick little one means lots of baby-holding. LOTS.
