Alaina Reading...or chewing...10/21/2008

We realized right away that Alaina and Sammy have very different personalities... Sammy would sit still for long periods of time for me to read to her even as a baby... Alaina as you can see likes the books too but she would rather eat them and does not do well sitting still for even a few minutes...

Slater wanted to read to her...

Alaina's 'Squiggy Look'

She has already found her feet and rips any socks off her feet and sucks on her toes...

My Little Princess 10/19/2008

Sammy has gotten more and more into dress up so I added a few of my old dresses to her collection of dress up clothes. I came down the stairs and she had gotten herself into this dress--backwards-- but she was so cute checking herself out in the mirrors and playing!

(This is my 8th grade graduation dance dress that my Mom made)

Grandma Bracelets

My Mom makes these great Grandma or Mom bracelets.

If you would like one let me know--I can take your order.

$20 for the first 5 names--$2 each additional name--plus shipping or gift wrap if needed.

Disney Live! October 17, 2008

Sammy Loves the Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as well as Tiger and Pooh and Handy Manny--as do most of the toddler and preschool age group these days.

We love the Disney Channel!!!

As a surprise to Sammy we went to see Disney Live.

Thank you so much to the Clementi's for the tickets!

We got to see Isabella and Sophia too! (friends from Iowa and Rush Dance Team daughters)

Sammy loved it so much and she still asks when we can go to the theater again to see Disney Live and get a Leo baton that glows...she decided she wanted the Handy Manny 'spinny thing' when we were there and Daddy of course caved... the baby actually did pretty well at the show too!

Sammy looks a little nervous!

Hair Bows--I love 'em!

I found a great crafter, Jill, that makes awesome hair bows at great prices.

For all my friends with girlie girls they are so cute! I have bought ballet ribbon clips and ponytail 'korkers' as well as Christmas korkers for all Sammy's daycare friends. We also have a few 'flowers' that I haven't taken pics of.

SO BEHIND!!!

Welcome to any of you that may never have been to our blog. I have to admit I am VERY BEHIND in my posts. I hope to catch up very soon! I hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you a very Happy New Year.
