Hey, Look what my daddy caught tonight! He took Brandyn to the lake across the street and knocked on the door five minutes later with this catch! Check out how I’m lookin’ at it. I reached out and touched it too…and then smiled! Mommy had to wash my hands. Next time, he promises to take me in the Baby Bjorn when he goes fishin’ so I can watch him reel it in…maybe he’ll even let me help and give me credit for catching it!And, here’s just one of me being cute. My new favorite thing to do is to sit at the front door and play with the dog leashes.P.S. Did anyone watch Dateline last night-the story of the two girls that were mistakingly identified? I DVR’d it and started watching it tonight while I rocked Lainey to sleep. Lainey fell asleep five minutes into it, but by then I was already crying…I held her through the whole two hours of it and convulsively cried the whole time…the ugly cry. My head and neck hurt so bad from crying.

On Daddy:
I like to catch him when he doesn’t know I’m watching…just him and her. The first time I met him, before I fell in love…I knew he was the kind of dad I wanted my babies to have. Today I watched him…he didn’t know I was standing there with my camera. He was talking to a friend, but the whole time, I know he was thinking about her…how proud he was to have a daughter in his arms, and the way his arms embrace her just kills me. Watching him play with her, look at her, kiss her, talk to her in his widdle girl voice–it’s better than watching a movie. I love the way he loves her. And I really, really love good dads. Good, involved, huggy, kissy, fill-em-up-with love dads….they’re hot. And I’m glad I got one.
We went to a birthday party today at the park, and Lainey was the youngest “friend” invited, but she was still part of the gang…even got a goody bag. It was so cute to see her looking up to all these little girls like she knew she was kinda part of them. She even kept her princess hat on like she wanted to do it ‘cuz the bigger girls were doing it. I’m not ready for her to be big yet. I’m not done with Baby yet.

Stay little just a bit longer, Cubby.

I moved her room around yesterday and then I just stared at it smiling that this room belongs to a baby that’s mine. I have a daughter. And, we’re gunna have tea parties someday real soon. Somebody pinch me ‘cuz I think I’m dreaming.

Mom thinks I look cute today. Sportin’ my bling too…my silver locket necklace from Aunt Joann and my bangle bracelet from Janie. (Don’t tell anyone, but I have a boys’ shirt on too! I made it fierce though). As Daddy was walking out to work this morning, he yelled to Mommy, “By the way…nice job on her outfit today. She looks adorable.” My daddy’s pretty sweet. He always notices my clothes. He said to Mommy the other night, “I can’t believe that girl there is my daughter.” If you think my outside is cute…you should see my inside! I gots a cute, cute heart!Check out my legwarmers…they’re really girls’ socks Mommy got at Walmart for $1.50!!!

Snip-snip on the toes and Voila! Baby Fashion!
