Halloween 2010
Her costume was a bit too big but she was a trooper. We just might have to use it again next year! Hope you had a safe and fun night!

I'm In Charge
Who needs a bodyguard when you can handle things on your own?
Miss Anayah looks like she has things under control, doesn't she? Check out the smirk on that face. She thinks she's keeping him in line.Notice Jack is pinching her at the same time though...these two are going to be a handful! :)
Remember in this post where she looked so tiny next to him? Well apparently she has been doing some growing because they seem to be the same size these days. The only difference would be the size of their hands and feet. His are large and manly and she has these dainty little things.

These two are going to be good friends for sure!

Three Months
It's hard to believe it's been three months since you joined our family!
(She looks thrilled, doesn't she?)
The last three months have been such an amazing (and sometimes draining) experience. You've grown up so much that sometimes I forget that you're still just an infant. You have such a personality already and you definitely are not shy about showing it. You have been "talking" a lot more lately and laughing much more. My favorite part of the day is the first hour after you wake up in the morning. You are all smiles and laughs and so happy...and very social! :)
In the last month you have:
- finally grown out of your newborn clothes
- continued to be a great night sleeper
- started taking only 30 minute naps during the day (which is extremely frustrating)
- dropped to 4 or 5 feedings a day
- started to recognize mommy and daddy and greet us with smiles
- been working on your rolling over skills...you can roll about halfway then get stuck
- been drooling like crazy (teething already?)
Halfway through rolling over, before getting stuck...
We thank God daily for you and pray that you continue to grow and develop into a beautiful, happy, sweet, loving little girl. Happy three months, munchkin! We love you to the moon and back ♥

New Delights
I found this picture on the camera the other day...
What the?! It was daddy's turn to take care of her. Umm, why is my child sitting like that on the couch? First of all it looks painful and secondly, it can't be safe. Right? It clearly wasn't a matter of him not paying attention to what was happening. He took the picture. Obviously he knew what was going on. So what gives, mister?
Apparently she was staring intently at her feet! She recently discovered them and has been fascinated with them ever since! One of these days I'm sure they will end up in her mouth. Yum.
Good to know B was not only paying attention, but managed to capture such a silly moment for me. Thanks honey!

Fabric Flowers
I'm jumping on the fabric flower bandwagon.
Why not? They're everywhere these days, not to mention cute, and as I've recently discovered, very easy to make. I found a couple of tutorials that do a great job of explaining how to make these bad boys. My Sparkle has an easy tutorial to follow, Shanty2Chic has this option as well as this option, and Simple Analogy has a sewn option should you feel like busting out the needle and thread. I took all the info from these tutorials and mostly followed the instructions but pretty much making it up as I went along.
I started with a long strip of fabric...mine was about 16 inches long and about 2-3inches wide.
I folded it in half, glued it down, and rolled it a few times to get it started...
Then I started twisting the fabric as I rolled it around itself. I used a dot of glue every now and then to secure the layers (the tightness of the twisted fabric will determine the fullness of the flower). I kept going around and around until I got the size I wanted.
I glued them to the stretchy fabric I was using as the headband (I found the white material at Joann's in the lace aisle) and VOILA! something cute to stick on this cutie pie...
Oh the possibilities are endless! I'm sure you'll see them popping up on other projects I'm working on.

Just Chillin'
Doesn't she look so much older in this picture?
Just lounging on the couch, wondering why you're bothering me by taking my picture!
Yikes, she's growing up so fast!
