Day 22 and Day 23

Day 22
Fresh flowers always brighten up the house!

Day 23
Mini-Me knows her birthday is coming up.  This afternoon she was playing and I heard her singing "Happy Birthday" to herself and realized she got out her little pretend cake and was practicing blowing out the candles.  Hard to believe my once itsy bitsy 7lb baby is almost two!

Day 13, Day 14, Day 15 and Day 16

Day 13
Playing at Grandpa and Grandma's house

Day 14
 
First taste of snow. It was too cold to play outside, so we played inside with the snow!

Day 15
Sledding!!! Mini - Me went sledding last year, but doesn't remember, and had a hard time sitting up in the sled. This year, she loved it and could hold on much easier!

Day 16
Mini - Me's first pedicure!  I went for a mani and pedi on Saturday with a good friend, and Mini - Me has been talking about how 'mommas toes painted' since then, so this afternoon, I asked her if she wanted me to paint her toes, without hesitation, she told me yes!

Day 11 & Day 12

Day 11

We had another unseasonably warm day so we took advantage of it by going to the zoo!! Mini - Me and her friend were checking out the Penguins






Day 12

Well, yesterday it was in the 50s, today its barely 30 and snowing, they are predicting up to 9 inches in some areas.  Mini - me requested to "go outside, see snow!" so we bundled up and made some snow angels.

Day 10

We had another unseasonably warm day, so we took advantage of it with a walk to the park with our neighbors.  They say it is suppose to snow on Thursday, it is winter after all, but I am not complaining one bit about being able to be outside in January and not get cold.

Day 7

Mini - Me insisted on going up the ladder by herself, and booted me from being behind her. 

Jumping her little heart out!

We had a birthday party to go to this afternoon for a friends son.  This was our first time at Pump It Up, and we had a great time! Thanks Kim, for inviting us!  Mini - Me had a blast! She was very hesitant at first, but quickly warmed up and was fearless by the time the party was over.  She was climbing up the ladders to the big slides with no help, and would get mad if you tried to help her (at one point she told me "no momma, go self!").  She was also climbing the walls on her own, but we had to help her at the very top (more so because I was afraid of her falling!).  And the juice box in her hand in the last picture is a very special treat since we were at a birthday party (juice is not a standard in this house, or in our diets, it is a treat when we go to parties and it will remain that way. But every kid is entitled to some fun and special treats!)
