Brooklyn's First Pigtails

I have decided to grow Brooklyn's hair out so it is now long enough for pig tails. I still miss the short haircut but every girl has to have long enough hair to have pigtails. I am always a shorter hair girl so it is hard for me.

Mom's League Meeting and Fashion Show

We had our first Mom's League meeting yesterday and I did not know before we went but Brooklyn helped model the new Mom's League shirts. She loved it! Also Dora was there and she was not a fan! She told me she only liked her on TV! She was kind of scray looking.

First Day of Preschool

Today was the girls first day of Preschool. This is Stella's first year and since she is one of the younger ones in her class and because she is a momma's girl I was hoping she would do well. There were some tears but generally they said she was happy. She has been doing good in the church nursery and at Adventure Kids Playcare so I really thought she would be fine. Brooklyn went right in like a big girl. The girl is so hyped up right after school that she just talks non stop. The pics are not very good but the best I could get with my not so good camera. Really need to get a new one!

Saying cheese for the camera (playing in the rain)

Stella is getting to be such a big girl! She has really been pleasant lately when she is not teething. She is saying more words everyday. Some of her new things she likes to say all the time are "cheese" for the camera, hold, go (when in the car at stoplight), purse, and "pay" for play, Brooklyn used to say this all the time.

She sleeps good and is eating a lot better. She still eats a lot of baby food and still does not like milk. She is really busy and likes to play hard where ever we go. She would climb up the tallest slide if I would let her. She still has not learn to sit when sliding so you have to make her sit. She has never been a good road trip baby so road trips are hard. It seems like we go on a lot to see Katie, Heather, Nonna and Poppy so I hope it gets better. She will start preschool next week so we will see how that goes! She is a big momma's girl.

One of her best traits I think is her big smile. Laird even said from early on when she would smile that she really smiles a lot.
