~Who Am I~

I thought this video was pretty cool. It's a group from a church that perform with white gloves and a black light. It's performed to the song "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns whom I love!

~Playground Fun~

We went to the mall today and Aylah played at their indoor playground for the first time. She had so much fun, she just kept walking around and around the place not knowing what to do next! She's turning into such a big girl so fast!

Aylah also had a blast riding the carousel. Notice the other little girl has the exact same shirt on as Aylah :)

Getting ready to slide down the slide the correct way!

~Read It~

I love MckMama's blog-she's a pretty neat lady! She posted a blog about coping and small tricks that help her out through the day with her 4 small children-I love the one finger rule!!

~Bye Bye~

Aylah has been waving bye bye for awhile now...but I've yet to get it on video. She loves this video and always waves bye bye to the characters at the end of the show!

~Baby Bottle~

Aylah is really starting to love baby dolls.

~What A Weekend~

I spent my first night away from sweet Aylah this Saturday. My dear friend Stephanie was on her way home Saturday night and got a call that her security alarm went off at her house. She was going home alone with her 2 little boys and I offered to stay with her through the night. I'm not sure what I was actually going to do if someone was there or broke in....I guess it's the mental state of security that counts. We slept with a golf club and sword next to our beds:). So, daddy and Aylah had a night to themselves.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Papa T and Patricia sent us Christmas gifts and we opened them today. Needless to say, Aylah is very excited about her purse and her very own set of keys and a phone! She loves to pick up the phone and say "hey"..then hand it to mommy or daddy.

~A Beautiful Pink Nightmare~

As you all know...it is superly, duperly freezing cold up here, so we've been wearing jackets for a while now. It usually takes me an extra 15 minutes to get Aylah buckled in her carseat with her jacket on, then people tell me it's not safe to put them in their carseats with their jackets on....so what's a mom to do????

Leave it to super mom Becky to send Aylah such a great birthday gift...

This has got to be the most adorable outfit ever that will keep my baby warm without those jackets getting in the way. This thing covers her feet, hands and head all in one! I'm quite sure that every mom needs to know about these! I just put this on over her clothes and there you have it---a warm and cozy baby or toddler:)
Aylah really enjoyed wearing it and recieving the dozens of compliments about how adorable she is while we were out and about today!

PS--Do you notice that sweet Aylah is in a front facing carseat now! This isn't actually ours-our dear friends Stephanie and Steven let us borrow theirs until ours came in the mail!

Thanks Aunt Becky for such a wonderful and super useful gift!
Thanks Stephanie for letting us use your carseat!
