Jakey Daves & SueBelle

During our visit to Grand Junction last weekend I found this adorable tricycle in the backyard. I knew there was a baby picture of Jake somewhere on a similar little bike. Wanting to replicate the same picture I plopped our little SueBelle onto the one I'd found.

What I didn't know is that she would look in the same direction as Jake's old baby picture, have the same little grin, and hold onto the handle bars pretty much the exact same way.

She is her daddy's girl!

Saturday night Sue snapped this sweet picture while we were sitting around the fire pit. I don't have enough pictures of me and my girl, so I'll cherish this one forever!

Girl's Weekend!

I got to come visit my GJ fam this weekend, and have had so much fun!

Ash and I roadtripped it Friday afternoon, and it's been a Girl's Weekend ever since :)

The #1 on our to-do list was to get some fun sister's pictures,

and hello pretty girls :)

Now I just need to find an empty wall to make 

a sister's collage out of. 

Which, currently, there are none. So I guess we'll be moving to a bigger place soon ;)

Tehe.

This last shot is one of my faves!

I love you girls so much.

Ottoman

She's been playing in, around, and on top of this ottoman the past couple of days.

And if I've lost my keys, the remote, or my phone I know right where to look :)

Her favorite trick right now is to climb on top of the ottoman, stand up with both hands in the air and  do a face plant onto the couch.

Funny? Yes.

Dangerous and probably shouldn't let her do it? Yes.

But should I document it before I ban it? Double Yes.

Photos to come :)

There She Is!

We heard her walking around her room saying: 

"There she is! There she is!"

Turns out she was playing peek-a-boo. 

In her room. 

By herself.

Haha.

Luckily daddy jumped in, and I'm 

 so glad I got these photos.

I love hearing them play together :)

We shot a little video of her saying some of her favorite words.

She loves to say:

 "I", then we say "love", and she sweetly says "YOU"!

     I love you too, baby girl :)

Cuddles & Books

Does it feel like this week has been one big long weekend to any of you? For some reason I keep thinking it's Friday, or almost Saturday.

And then my Zumba class reminds me: It's only Wednesday!

Regardless, this so-called "week" has been filled with lots of cuddles & books.

The girl has an ear infection, which means she's been super snuggly and lovey-dovey.

Hopefully she'll be feeling better by the real weekend.

Dinner at the Park!

Today was the best preview for what spring is going to bring:

Trips to the park, going on walks so she can explore, and lots and lots of pictures :)

This little boy ran around yelling: "Attack the baby!"

Luckily that just meant pat her on the head.

He also let me know she was going to be a girl. Just like me. :)

I brought her a peanut butter sandwich, but she was sneaky and ate bark instead!

She doesn't let me feed or carry her anymore. 

She only wants to drink out of a cup with a straw.

Her shaky walk is quickly turning into a run.

And whenever she's done something naughty, she quickly gives me a tight hug and says: "Aww!"

I have a feeling the terrible two's are gonna make my hair fall out.

But lucky for her those tight squeezes  can make up for just about anything she does :)

I'm Lucky.

Um, I like this.

A lot.

And seeing as how she's keeping her 4 month promise in April, I fully expect another visit in August :)
