Almost Edible

Seriously, couldn't you just eat her up?

Miss Fairy Girl

One of Lucy's presents was a fairy costume. She was excited to put it on. It is kinda big but I think that it will be played with a lot in the months and years to come. Now we just need to take it to Disneyland to test it out on all the characters.

Not a very happy fairy.

Oh wait, that's better.

Happy 2nd Birthday Lucy Fern

2. I can hardly believe it. I feel like it was just yesterday I was pregnant with her and seriously wondering if she really was the girl the ultrasound tech "thought" she saw. Lucy is a joy and delight and I am so excited that she is a big two year old now.

For her party we went for low key and mellow. Mostly just family and a few friends. I took Lucy to the store for party supplies and she wanted this princess-ish theme which I was more than happy to go for!

I tried to make her cake be a tiara or cupcakes. I don't know that it actually looked like a tiara but it tasted good and that is what is super important I guess.

The big 2 year old herself!

Sitting with Grandma Meow.

Lots of presents, mostly clothes. I love cute new girl clothes!

Deep Breathe In.....

Blowing out her candles!

Got to get super close. Almost burning her lips!!!

Covered in frosting. Mmmmmmm........

Can't hardly wait to see what this year will hold for her!

Gwendalyn Lily- 5 Months

5 Months old. How time does fly. My sweet baby girl is getting bigger and bigger by the day. Is it sad to say that I miss her tiny newborn-ness? She is such an adorable little package and good as gold. She is getting stronger and stronger at sitting. In no time at all she will be crawling and walking and talking.

Looking for a toy.....

Oh hi mommy!

Oh yeah, where was that toy.....

Tasty, tasty, tasty!

Pretty Gwenie Girl!

Just had to add this one too!

FRENCH BRAID!!!

We finally made it to french braids! I have been waiting quite awhile for this. I know this isn't a standard french braid but I saw Heidi Klum with her hair like this on Project Runway a few months ago and I thought it was so pretty. I was just trying it out tonight. I still need to perfect it but I can see this hairstyle entering our repertoire!

She wouldn't really hold still for my photo taking. But here is the top.

A better picture of the top. Next time I will have her hair much wetter. I think it will be easier to handle. It is so wispy in the front.

Also I think I will start lower down, closer to her neck and then use up all the hair in the back. But for a first try I think it turned out pretty well.

Sweet Snoring Sounds

Last night Eric helped with our church youth all night party. He came home and crashed with Gwen. They are both currently snoring together in the chair. Happy New Year everyone.
