She has improved so much since last year and is being more confident in herself. Just a few photos from her game this past weekend.
(I didn't realize just how much she needed a haircut until I saw these photos. Although, in her defense, she really didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything with it - we realized that the game was an hour earlier than usual about 20 minutes before the game was suppose to start!)
Miss M recently received a new doll and named her Lexi. She was so excited the day that we bought her. We spent an entire afternoon going through the store, picking out an outfit, having Lexi's hair styled and then ending it with a late lunch. Of course she had to pick out one of the frilliest dresses to get for her doll and herself. :) At the lunch, 'M' thought it was so awesome that Lexi got to sit in her own special chair and drink out of cup that was just her size.
She was even more excited to fill out the book that came with Lexi and talk about their adventures together that first night. I love her answers and her kindergarten handwriting.
I can't believe that she is a year old already! I started taking her photos at 6 weeks and have watched her grow every few months. She is now running, saying a few words and is very much on the go. :) It's too cold here to be outside right now, so we did these inside. Just a few of my favorites -
She loved the piano and I was very impressed that she was actually trying to play music on it instead of just making noise. :)
A foot photo, since her mom has one from every session...
And at the end of our session, she was ready for naptime with her monkey.
I have a couple of sessions to share - one from the end of last year (yikes, I'm really behind!) and one from last week - but until I get those up, I thought I would post some photos of Speedy J. Cat.
He really seems to have aged this winter. Maybe it was the 10 days in the kennel while we were on vacation or maybe it's just because he's getting older and had a hard life for awhile when he was younger. We are all thankful for some of his mellowness (he doesn't attack us nearly as often anymore), but I think we all miss the days of him racing us up the stairs and playing with toys. He now seems to spend most of his days curled up in a ball on a bed, the couch or on top of a heater vent. When he is awake, he enjoys small amounts of attention from us (he's never been a big fan being cuddled or us invading his space too much) and he loves to sit in front of the windows watching birds or the flying leaves.
