Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

girl-ing it up

Makayla recently started letting me put
a hair bow in her hair. Mostly just a flat hair clip,
buts it's a start. I did the headbands when she was an infant,
but she soon learned to pull them out within 5 seconds of me
putting them on her. Short lived was her infant hair flair!

She may not like a bow, but
she loooooves to help,
and while helping
me put up her clean laundry the other day,
she noticed the cubbies in her closet that hold her shoes,
socks, hair accessories, and more.

She started pointing and saying HAIR BOW, HAIR BOW.

There were four headbands with hair bows attached
and she wanted them all. We decided to take them all
downstairs and play. I tied her hair up in a (barely there)
ponytail and put on one headband after another,
after another and more, more, more.

She always ended up with four bows on her head
and giggled away while we did a photoshoot on my phone.

Feast your eyes on this cuteness:
is it just me, or does she look way too grown up here?

and the funny ones begin!

totally tickled with herself

enter sassy...of course and always

oh, you know, just wearing 4 headbands

heart this to full degree possible,

my sweetie girl

Hugging, eating and doing things "ourself"
are big in our house.

she calls these her boom booms

Always "one more hug" from mommy
and daddy (a few times over) at bedtime.

she's perfected the "you are my sunshine" smile

Just a cute story:
After each giving her hugs in the morning
(before leaving for school)
she told Brandon and I to hug each other too.
Love that...she totally gets it.

she knows not to pass up
good strawberry cake!

Sugar sweet, that one.

easter and more...

 I've been so M.I.A from the blog lately...
but at least I'm keeping up with photos on my phone.

Hopefully I'll get around to showing some house photos
once we make some progress. 

Makayla's room got painted this weekend!
 I got a wild hair to paint it while Brandon
was at the Masters. Of course I ran out of paint
at midnight. Blech! Thankfully, a million times over, Vlad
came over Sunday afternoon and helped me finish it up.
What a champ!
Design visions are in the works,
and I'm thinking it is going to be a lovely
little room for a very lovely little girl.
(ended up going with the light pink
on the far right paint chips...see photo below...
Benjamin Moore's Flush Pink. Dried slightly
darker than my original vision, but still gave
the room a pretty pink glow without
being bubble gum. I think the rule on paint chips
is that they rarely translate, and always dry darker!
note to self...)

I hope you enjoy the photo
show below. Mostly of my
little lady, of course.
But what else would you expect?
