The Many Sides

of our littlest girl:

Glowing with Mischievousness. See that smirk as she reaches for an outlet?


Attempting to convince us of her innocence.



Looks like she's had it with the paparazzi (or mamarazzi in this case)!


So very serious all the sudden.


We are moving into the pre-terrible-two range at just under 20 months. At this point her occasional mini-tantrums are still quite comical and often center around things like the realization that she can't have a cookie for breakfast, even if she smiles and asks nicely. Right on cue the waterworks turn on followed by the highest pitched squeals known to man. What's fun about this age is how quickly she cheers right up again.

Most of the time, we have a very sweet and fun-loving toddler on our hands. She likes to give kisses and say "Muh" as she puckers up. She would do an awesome job as greeter at a store. She is very enthusiastic offering hi! hello! and byebye! in her adorable little voice to everyone we meet from high in her perch in the shopping cart. Babies have special way of bringing smiles to the faces of complete strangers. My favorite thing that she says at the moment is Griffen's name. She makes the soft "g" sound and adds an "n" on the end. We all love the effort she is making.
