apple of my eye

O (sigh.)
my baby is getting too big.
Alas, this is bitter sweet.
today we painted fingers and toes. wish i could have grabbed the camera and taken a good shot, but i will take what i can get. (camera from my phone)









She has also learned what to do when i hold the camera (yes, even the camera from my cell) in her direction and say, "say CHEEEEEESE!"













Even when we're making funny faces in the mirror and she unexpectedly pukes on me... out comes the camera phone and there she is, ready with the "CHEEEEESE!"









man, i love this kid.

"don't turn around o-oh...."

so lately this baby girl has been a lot faster than mommy is giving her credit for... (Obviously with the Lysol episode)

I thought I had just a second to turn around after getting items i needed out of the fridge...
No. Her new food love is blueberries. She managed to quietly pull them off the shelf and open the container by stepping on it. When I turned back around she was sitting and stuffing her face full of blueberries off the floor.












When I picked her up to put her in the highchair, she was very unhappy... and lost a sock in the process (it was proof of the container "stomping" and stained with blueberry juice.)














Another time I let her happily play (in her birthday suit) right before bedtime routine for two minutes in her room while I put clean crib sheets on her mattress (seriously, it was that fast)...








And at 2 minutes and 1 second, I heard grunting and found this...






Next, I was happily documenting something new - splashing in the bath tub - when she comes up with a "first" of her own...



And tonight, I got her ready for bed and left her room to get myself something to drink, i knew it was too quiet in there, but figured she was playing with her books (just like I left her) when I walked in to this...













i guess she wanted to do a little spring cleaning.
