Our little Mother..

A video for Uncle Peter

Uncle Peter fussed at us tonight because we haven't been uploading. And that he has yet to hear Daileyanne say more then "Okay, Bye bye! ::kiss::" on the phone but we keep telling him that she knows way over 75 verbal words and uses them in all kinds of fun sentences (her signing probably stands at 70) So here's a quick video from the park a few days ago :)

Bluebonnets for Daileyanne

One of the things that every Texas family has to do (seriously.. I think it's in the bylaws) is risk life and limb by pulling over on a precarious highway shoulder to plop their babies into fields of the State Flower. For some reason Bluebonnets must thrive on car exhaust because the biggest and bluest fields always seen to be on tight medians between two highways! So this weekend we were romanced by the speckles of blue whizzing by our car window and pulled over to get our own pictures. :) Dailey thought they were beautiful (They really really are) and was too busy inspecting the soft petals to give me a smile- or even eye contact! We did find another patch later on that was much more convenient and Day was able to play for a bit. Tomorrow instead of brushing out Cherrios or Goldfish crackers from her carseat I'll smile as I scoop out bluebonnet petals. Love that Texas baby of mine!

More Christmas!

Christmas 09

Here's just a few clips of Dailey's Christmas!

While everyone waited in anticipation at the bottom of the stairs Dailey zoomed past everyone to run to her Daddee who was Skyping from the laptop. It took ten minutes of chatting with him before we could tempt her into noticing the mountain of gifts under the tree. I love how much she loves him!

This hat was a huge hit. Unfortunately it will be shedding pink glitter into her scalp for the next 6 months. :)

The Haul. Having a kid in the house for Christmas is pretty awesome. I can see how it can get out of control some years though! There's nothing like the big grin of your baby on Christmas Morning. (Also...I'm really excited about all the Wood, Open Ended Play and Eco Friendly things and how much she is enjoying them. I was worried that the wrapping paper would win the "Top Present" title! :)

Pictures for Patrick

Patrick has been opening his Christmas presents as they arrive (I KNOW you have Mister!) and we wanted one more present he could open on Christmas Day. We asked a local friend to shoot a few pictures of the both of us (some how Momma always ends up on the backside of a camera) for him. Here's a little peek :)
