New pics of my little lady

Not a whole lot going on, just that my little girl is growing up! She's almost acting like a teenager. She rolls her eyes at me already. Apparently, I'm not as cool as I think I am if a two-year old is embarrassed of me! I'm going to run out to Wal-Mart right now and buy my mom-jeans and fanny pack!

Below is my little SuperStar!

Here she is playing miniature golf. She actually "played" the entire 18 holes. She hit it once and then ran down to place the ball literally 2 centimers from the hole and hit it in! What a cheater!

Here are some pics that Casey took yesterday in our front yard. She looks like such a little lady!

People say she looks like my little mini-me in those last pics, but I've seen pictures of me as a child and I was nowhere near as cute! Neither was my husband so I'm not sure how she ended up so beautiful!

Until next time...

Can we just get healthy please?

Sorry it's taken so long to post, but the three of us just keep giving this nasty cold and cough virus back and forth to each other. I have to say that my darling girl has been such a trooper through all of this.

There are some other things going on besides illness at home:

Her latest obsession is dancing. She says she's doing "bawet" (still can't get those L's or R's pronounced well) and she wants to go to dance class when she gets bigger. Apparently there are a lot of things she wants to do when she gets bigger. The other day she asked me when she could wear makeup. I said when she gets bigger. The next day she asked Casey. "Daddy, am I bigger now?". Thinking it was a harmless question, he of course, answered yes, and she promptly replied, "ok, I can wear makeup now. Where's that wipstick?" I kid you not! I think we're definitely in for a real treat when she reaches her teenage years.

We now have regularly scheduled play dates with her best friend Gabi, who she met in her gymnastics class. The first was at her house and it went well. Last week, we got together at our house and that didn't go quite as well. Though Court is good at sharing other people's toys, she's not so good at it with her own toys. I don't think she understands that they aren't going to take them home with them. So, she shows kids her toys (practically shoves them in their faces) and when they try to grab them, she says "no, that's mines". It's kind of embarrassing, though typical for a 2-year old. She is rather spoiled, though. Gabi's mom walked into her room and her jaw dropped at all the toys and clothes she has. We've definitely overindulged. Oops!

She has been coming into our bed in the early hours of the morning, and though we were quite stressed about it at first, I've grown to cherish the snuggling time. She's so angelic when she's sleeping, though lately she's been snoring like a freight train because of her cold. And come to think of it, it's not all that comfortable. She kicks me in the ribs, calls out and tells me off in her sleep, turns around and sleeps horizontally between me and Casey....Why do I love this again? Oh yeah, because it's not going to be much longer before she is no longer small enough to fit in our bed or before she will not want to snuggle with us. I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can!

I will post new pics this week. Her hair is getting so long and I swear she's getting more gorgeous by the minute
