Ponytail... now she's 13.



Nothing makes a little bitty baby look like a little bitty teen. First ponytail! Many more to come I'm sure.

Isn't she sweet?



Side view

I'm ready for my first date!! Because I'm 13 going on 30!



I love so much when mom tugs on my head trying to get my hair just right. 

Probably my favorite, the side pony: baby style

Alone

Mike was gone this weekend, which means I was alone with Josie. I was a little excited to just hang out with her and not have an agenda. On the other hand, I haven't been alone with her for that long before so I was a little nervous.

For the most part it was fine; Josie hung out, ate, slept, etc. But there were moments when I just couldn't figure out what was wrong, and she was so upset for what felt like so long. In reality, it was probably only like 20 minutes, but it felt like the whole day.

What I learned is this: I hope so hard that I will never be a single parent. Just having Mike around in the evenings and popping in throughout the day makes a world of difference. I can handle her on my own just fine, but having his support makes it manageable. All in all a great weekend! I love those moments I get to spend just her and me. She's such a sweetie...

Oh she loves her dog! Sleeping with it is her favorite, but only for naps when I am watching... :)

What high quality this picture is...

take the picture already!

Josie's idea of a photo shoot fail.
Ok mom, just tell me when!


Maybe try from over there... I don't like that angle.

I said on three! That was on two!!

Oh look at that double chin. One more time...

Seriously lady, what are you doing. 

Here, give me that. I'll just do it myself.

This is me. Done with you.

All is well when the pacifer joins the party.


whole lotta baby

"Why would you leave me to die like this?"

 "I'm busy now, just hanging with Dad"

 "And then we went on a walk and then I ate my lunch and then I took a nap and then..."

 "Oh hold on, this tastes good"

Heart to heart. So much to say, so little time.

"Oh, hey mom, did you need something?"

Don't those baby blues make your heart melt?
