3 month pictures

I dressed the girls in matching outfits for Calla's 3 month birthday! I took some pictures in the morning that were okay, but then, I made Barry hold them after dinner so I could get some good pictures. Good looking family, if i may say so myself...

Silly Girl

Leslie got a Play-do fun pack for her birthday. Here is the inaugural Play-do head. Silly girl...

A few weekends ago Leslie woke up before Calla, so I got up and gave her a cup of milk and turned a show on for her, so we could sleep some more. The dogs heard all the commotion and wanted out and fed, so I did that, too. When I came back inside I found Leslie sitting on the couch watching her show, just holding her birthday balloon from school. Silly girl...

I went to wake her up from her nap last week and she had a sock on her hand. Silly girl...

Leslie's Birthday

We have a tradition of hanging streamers on her door for her birthday. It's just a little something to let her know today is a special day for her. And, it's even more fun because at this age, she's still surprised by it every year!



We went to Rosas with Grandmommy to eat and then went home for cake a little family party. We saved her cake from the party and cut into it on her actual birthday.


We saved all our presents for her to open on her birthday.

One of the biggest hits of the night... purple fairy wings I found at the dollar store:) I love toddlers!

Leslie's Party

Leslie's birthday party was a ton of fun this year! We decided on an M&M theme because it was easy and Leslie loooooves her chocolate! It was supposed to be all outside, but it got super windy, so we decided at the last minute to keep the bulk of it inside. The kids still played outside, but that's about it. Here's the best pictures of the day...

Random Pics and Funny Stories...

Our fail-proof smile maker... Like most girls, she loves having her hair played with... hers just happens to be really short.

Leslie's party was alot of fun- pictures and details to follow...



I Different:

Leslie has been really into a PBS show called "Super Why!" lately. Her favorite episode of the week deals with Pig being upset because he is "different." All week long, at random moments in the day, Leslie will get a frown on her face and say, "I just different." So dealing with that has been pretty comical in and of itself, but then the other night she got in trouble for something and Barry told her to go to her room because she was going to get a spanking. The whole way she was covering her heine looking back at him and crying, "I different! I different!" Maybe if she was a little more typical she wouldn't be getting the spanking!


Lesson Learned:

We are still constantly getting on to Leslie for putting things in her mouth... her hands, toys, crayons, blankets... EVERYTHING! The other night was a sweet little victory for us in that she got half an Easter Egg caught in her mouth. It was hilarious! One of those times you wish you had the camera closer (or were a little meaner and make her wait while you find it) and take a picture to laugh at later. Barry was helping me give Calla a bath and then all of a sudden Leslie comes running around the corner, hands flapping, half crying, obviously scared because she has this egg stuck in her mouth. It was night and a purple egg, so it took him a while to even figure out what she was freaking out about. He really couldn't get it out the way it was turned, but she finally screamed big enough that he managed to pry it loose. Is it mean I think that's hilarious? So, she at least doesn't stick Easter eggs in her mouth anymore. We're still working on the rest...
