The Lion and My Lamb

Mailee loves her SOFT lion!

She carries him around and brings him to me so we can both enjoy his softness and give him LOVES!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Growing Up Too Fast!

Mailee (well I guess it is true of children in general) is growing up so fast! Where did my baby go? Today, I was cutting small pieces of pizza for her and she kept throwing them on the floor and reaching for the whole piece. Jokingly, I handed it to her. SHE ATE IT! Like a "big girl" she held it by the crust and took bites. She ate about half of the whole piece!

Stop growing so I can breathe in each moment, Little One!

Are you ready for some Football???

What to do in a Storm...

...STAY INSIDE THE "HOUSE"

Ok, so the "Storm of the Century" was a joke! One night of strong rain... Please! But we did enjoy some time playing "inside" Mailee's house! She loves to close the door and then open it and peek to see if I am watching.

Chillin' at the house

Hanging out with Mailee is so much fun! She loves Mommy's hat.

Also, this shot with Daddy is so adorable and actually a miracle to get. Trying to get Mini Miss to lie still long enough to snap a pic is a feat in itself. Johnny wants her to nap with him so badly - Fat Chance, Daddy!

Ever wonder how far 1 chocolate chip can go???

I was using up the leftover chips (white chocolate, butterscotch, and chocolate) from Christmas baking on some cookies just for us. What I ended up with was a lot of cookie with a few chips in them. I gave Mailee 1/2 of a cookie that had 1 chocolate chip in it and, boy, did she make good use of that one chip!!! I don't think she possibly could have swallowed any of it, but I got the "Best Mommy in the World" award for letting her have it!

Yummy New Year!!!
