Mommy's Headbands

So, Violet loves to wear my headbands. She likes hers too, but for some reason mine are just more fun. Any time I wear one, I can count on it getting stolen.

Proof:

Yep, there she is putting on my headband.

Mission accomplished!

Now she can read one of my favorite books as a kid...Lady LovelyLocks: Silkypup Saves the Day!

And then, she blows me a kiss as a thanks for my headband (we'll go with that...).

What a big girl!

Little Zombie...I Mean, Skeleton

Can you tell when my scheduled posts ran out?!! Ha, seriously, I'm working on a little more consistent schedule. Not there yet (obviously!).

So, a while back (I can't remember how long ago or I'd put a date...it was right after I learned I needed glasses...maybe around Sept. 20th) I went to the Gap outlet in Bartlesville. And I bought Violet the cutest pajamas!

See for yourself...

Isn't that too cute?!

Oh, and about the title, I keep calling these her zombie pajamas and then John has to remind me that they're skeleton pjs! Oops!

And no, these are not her Halloween costume (wouldn't want a spoiler on here!) but she will be wearing them to daycare the day before Halloween.

Cutest Skirt EVER!

So, around September 13th (the date I took these pics), we went clothes shopping for Violet. Well, we were at Target and John found the cutest skirt ever for her. Seriously, this skirt is awesome. So of course, we went home and I washed all the new clothes and then I had to put the skirt on here and take some pictures.

We didn't quite have any shirts that went perfect with it, but since these pics were taken, we've bought a few more things and now it's the cutest outfit ever. I even bought black leggings she can wear under it this fall!

So, I call this picture a Catholic schoolgirl who doesn't want to go to school.


And here, she's home from a long day and has untucked her shirt and is just chilling (and closing doors, a newfound hobby).


Here she is, sitting on my lap (which she loves to do!) and I was holding the camera out trying to get a picture of it. It took like, 10 tries but we finally got a cute one!


So, we can't wait to dress her up like a punk rocker (complete with a mohawk) with this skirt! I just love it!

Anyone Out There?

This is my 50th post! Woot-woot!

Moving on...

A few weeks back (notice this is how most of my posts are starting...I'm pretty far behind!) Violet discovered how to see out of the blinds on our doors and windows.

"Anyone out there? Oh, the doggies are! Hi doggies!"


Not sure why she doesn't have on any pants...this was about a month ago, and my memory isn't quite that good anymore!

Faux-hawk!

So, a few weeks back, I decided I needed to start putting ponytails in Violet's hair for a couple of reasons:
1. To get her used to having her hair in ponytails so she doesn't resist it when she's older
2. Her hair is starting to grow and it gets in her face
3. It's cute!

So one night when I was getting her ready for bed, I took out her ponytail. It turns out she has my hair type (you know, the kind you put up for 5 minutes and it leaves a crinkle in your hair!).

How do I know this, you ask?

The faux-hawk kinda gave it away.


She looks like a little who from Whoville!


I love it!

My bunny and my Minnie

So, ever since Violet was born pretty much, I've had a few stuffed animals in her bed with her. A while back, she decided to "attach" to 2 of them, her prayer bunny (from my parents) and her Minnie Mouse, which John bought for her while I was pregnant and he was in Orlando for work.

So now, every morning when we go in to get her, she looks around her crib, grabs one, hands it to me/John and then grabs the other one and is ready to be picked up. Once we pick her up, she just hugs them and lays her head down (it's usually at 6:20am!) and snuggles. After she wakes up and we get her dressed, she usually leaves them on the floor in her room. So every night when I lay her down I have to make sure to put them back in her crib with her! And if she's not fully asleep, sometimes she'll pull them in close to her. Too cute!

Here's a picture of her with her animals and her Grandma S (John's mom).

She loves her bunny & Minnie so much!
