Piggy Tails

I had to cut Miss Mia's bangs . . . they were getting out of control.

She kept moving and I ended up cutting more length off than I wanted . . . it was around an inch that I chopped.

She then wanted "Boo Hair" to show Daddy.

For those of you not in the know, "Boo Hair" is what the little girl has in Monster's Inc.

This should not be confused with "Gidget Hair" which are Piggy Tails at the bottom back of her head.

I love that we're starting to play more with hair!  I love love LOVE that she let me french braid it the other night before heading to bed!

Ahhhh . . . the cuteness!

Play Date(s)

We may be short on blood family, but our heart family is alive and growing!  Last Friday, we went to visit Mr. Connor and his family. 

Miss Mia was able to visit with her friend Cadin.  They played together so well - tearing the house apart and making Cadin's room appear to have exploded.

I got to visit with Tiff who I miss a ton!  Even though she and I aren't in the office the same day, we email daily  . . .   my weight loss and venting friend . . . my voice of reason and my sounding board.  My sanity.  Yah, I miss her!

The hubbies also got to be men and talk men stuff - while holding two cute little darlins!

Is there any better way to celebrate a Friday?

I think not!

Spring Flowers

We've had very few days above 30 here - actually like five!

It's sad. 

So, when I first spotted these flowers, I had to take pictures!  These were actually snapped on a break from work with My Hansy two days before he left us.  (yes, I still have a broken heart over his passing).

An Aisey Update

I just updated the Five Month posting.  As I typed it, I thought of how many milestones Miz Aise has met in just the last 10 days!

Miss Aise hates being on her back.  She rolls to her belly and starts creeping . . . and can go from one side of the bed to the other in an instant.

She wants to sit up.  She insists someone hold her - or that she be propped up so she can look all around and be a big girl.

Let's change that!  Miz Aise INSISTS on sitting up by herself!  As of this evening (3.30.11), she sits unassisted for around 2 or 3 minutes.  Then, when she starts to tumble over, she usually puts a hand down and can hold herself from falling. She has been able to sit herself back up as well!

Miz Aisey can now roll from her belly to her back on purpose . . . but usually refuses because she HATES being on her back (have I mentioned she HATES being on her back???)

We gave her a little more cereal the other night.  Nothing great, but wanted to see how she would do, and if she was ready . . . . Miss Mia made her daddy sit right beside Aisey's chair and Miss Mia climbed up in his lap while I fed Aisey.  Aisey didn't love the food so much as the reaction she received from her sister and parents.  It was great.  Unfortunately, Aisey still isn't into the 'eating' part of having cereal in front of her . . . so our entertainment will be on hold another few days.

There - does this make up for my having been a BAD BAD MAMA in regard to Aisey's 5th (month) birthday?
