I've been meaning to to post something for about a week but finding spare time these days is harder than it seems. Where to begin... Well Mabel got a new coat for winter and I am in love with it! I normally am not a fan of leopard print on babies but this is so snugly and I figure the ears take it down a few notches. Sam asked, "why does everything we buy her have to have animal ears of some sort?" Yes, I admit I am a sucker for all things with ears. Not that she needs it, but I think it takes her cuteness and kicks it up a little?
Mabel is walking and I can't believe it. When it took her 10 months to crawl I convinced myself that I wouldn't be chasing her around until well after 12 months, but sister is moving! She gets faster everyday. Her balance is also improving by the minute. I love the way she walks, she looks like she is doing an impression of Frankenstein.
She is all over the place. She has discovered so many new things. Her new fav destination is the guest bathroom. Did you know you can unravel a whole role of toilet paper in under a minute?
She's even becoming more self sufficient. Here she is making herself a snack before bed. |
Ham sandwich anyone? |
I love when we are hanging out and she decides to leave the room on a whim then 2 seconds later she will pop back in and say "hi!" as if she hasn't seen me in 3 weeks.
She would be the best Walmart greeter around. "Hi" is her new favorite word. Everywhere we take her she has to make sure she says "hi" to everyone she sees, at least 10 times, or until they stop to gush over what a cute baby she is.
Where's your nose? |
Digging through the bins and bins of clothes I have for Mabel, I found this sweater that my Mom gave me over Easter. It used to be my brother Josh's and was handmade by someone (my mom couldn't remember who). Anyone who knows me can attest, I love vintage. It's all over our house and in our closets. Sure you can find cute new clothes for babies, with ears and all, but something with a little history just seems so much sweeter.
Speaking of sweet...How cute are these two in their matching outfits?
We're back to fall like weather here in Sedona, we haven't seen snow for a week or so. We went to the park Monday afternoon for some quality time on the swings and with each other.
Shadow Family! You can even see my bump :) |
I love the way Sam carries Mabel. Just so casual and cool. |
Runaway Baby. |
So now here we are getting ready for the holidays. Mabel and I have been logging some serious shopping hours this past week. Spirits are high and we're ready for all to come, no stressing here!
Only Snuggles :) Have a good weekend everyone!
