princesses don't wear pants!

These are "skinny" jeans.
You know. The kind that are supposed to be skin tight all the way to the ankle. Apparently she is too skinny for skinnies 'cause they fit her more like riding pants.

It makes sense.
Both of her parents were the same way.
Many years ago.

Either way, I love this on her.
The boots.
The pearls.
The attitude.

The only way I can get her to wear pants is by letting her wear her boots with them.
Just this morning she was so distraught over the prospect of a day spent in jeans that she screamed at me,
"Princesses don't wear pants!"
Then she sat in time-out until she decided otherwise.





Recent quotes from our saucy lil sassy-pants:

"Sassy is pretty...Yes. It is!"

"Can you fix my hair like Cinderella's? All twisted up...Like a cinnamon roll!"

"Yes, Sir!" To Mama. Whenever given an order.

"Of coarse I can!" About 40 times a day, in a syrupy-sweet voice. Seriously the cutest. Ever.

"I have such a cute little body." What am I gonna do with her?

"Guts." It's her new favorite word. She uses it as much as possible, anyway she can. My favorite yesterday was a little ditty she made up while playing with Jude,
"Stinky butt! I'll poke your gut!" Ugh.

S'more

Jude loves his new monkey sweatshirt and begged me to take pics of it. Then he wouldn't stand still for more than a split second!

Even his eyelashes are just like Daddy's...

Look how big he is getting!

We *LOVE* having grass to play in!
Thank you, Daddy!

"Hi!"

Last night Adah went to bed pretty early and woke up at 2:30, wide awake.
She cooed, babbled and sang for nearly two and a half hours before I finally got up to check her diaper. She was so excited to see me I couldn't help but giggle and say "Hi, sweetheart."
And she replied, plain as day, "Hi." (only in a sing-song voice perfectly mimicking my own, "Hi-ya")
I'm not kidding.
And the amazing part is that she has been able to say it since she was just over a month old.
Yes. I'm well aware of all the subtly rolled eyes and knowing looks exchanged when I try to tell people this.
I realize everyone thinks I'm just a doting mama with an overactive imagination.
But.it's.true.
She'll only ever say it for Camden or me.
Camden gets such a kick out of it and exclaims,
"She said 'hi' the right way, Mom!"
Well, last night she decided to really strut her stuff and kept repeating it back to me.
And Daddy even heard it from the other room!
He said he counted six times.
Ha!
Now, I just have to get it on video so I can prove it to everyone else!

On the brighter side...




Haunting

It could be her icy stare.
Or the way she's clutching her "baby" around the neck.
Maybe it's just the processing.
Whatever the reason, she is hauntingly beautiful.
And this photo almost gives me the chills.
