At 10 months, Pippi is constantly doing the E.T. finger.
It is a pretty simple thing….she puts out her finger, and expects everyone in the room to put theirs out and touch it.
Everyone is game to humor her on one of her very first tricks!
(Other first tricks include: If I cough, she coughs…If I laugh, she laughs. She claps. She does Itsy Bitsy Spider. She dances when there is any music or I sing. She puts her finger to her mouth and makes noise as she fake brushes her teeth.)
If you can believe….my little sweet thing was with me all morning getting my passport.
When we finally got home at 3:00pm I put her down for a nap.
It was not until 10:00 am this morning that I finally got her up for the day.
20 hours.
I guess this girl has had a long summer!
But nobody would ever know by the way she is always happy.
Talk about a perfect-natured little girl!
Popotomies, cavaties, broken teeth, cracked teeth, extracted teeth….you name, and Scout has had it.
His dentistry was costing us a small fortune, so we turned to a dentist that was on the lower end of the affordable scale.
But when those fillings fell out twice, I knew I needed to find someone new, and someone good.
Please oh PLEASE, let this dentist be honest and good.
Because he is close, nice, and seems to know what he was doing.
Saturday morning chores dragged on as usual.
So I told the kids they were outside until they were completely finished.
And when they did finally finish, they stayed outside finish up the very thing that was preventing them from their chores in the first place.
Apparently, they were doing a science experiment.
Entitled: separating a snail from its shell.
But when I told them that he probably didn’t want to get separated…
They ran to get the Band Aids to repair the situation.
You will never guess who finally cut a tooth!
And just to think that it was the seventh time I thought it was going to come through over the last four months.
Pips, I’m glad you finally made an honest woman out of me.
(Obviously I couldn’t quite capture a picture of it.)
This girl finally gets to cruise with me in the front of the grocery cart.
She munches the whole time, and kicks and screams when she wants something.
She is a girl after my own heart and loves to try the Costco samples.
(I love them so much that when I started to drive, I used to take Tristen to Costco after church for the free samples…thinking it was within my Sabbath Day rights!)
It was one of those days where nobody felt too hot, cooking sounded like a nightmare, and Nonnies’s request of “comfort food” was just down the street.
It seems as though the lyrics “Anything she can do, I can do better” were ringing true today at Britni’s house.
Either that, or there may be a little love/hate relationship going on between Sturdy and the Pips.
Check it out:
Pips…buck up…take him down!
Scout insisted we take a few photos of the two of us.
I was game.
And he was too, until he looked at the footage and then made me take another.
And then I wasn’t so game.
Bella was in town, and humored me with a photo shoot of our ten month old.
Some were of the angel by herself.
Some were with her wings.
Thanks Bella!
Love them.
And how freaking cute can a little girl be?!
