thankful

...to God for days like today that are comfortable for toddlers to be outside longer than 5 minutes:)

"B" is for

BIRTHDAY BOY AND BIRTHDAY GIRL!

date night

Seth took LJ on her first daddy-daughter date when she was just about 1 month old. They went to Chickfila with some other daddy's and their daughter's for the CFA Daddy Daughter Date Night.

Now, just shy of 2 years later, here she is getting ready for another date night to CFA with Seth.
Some ladies like to accentuate their cheekbones. LJ likes to highlight the neckline:)

Cherry chapstick is a favorite...especially if you like the taste of it, which she does so we have to watch her closely that she doesn't eat the chapstick but rather puts it ON her lips.

Added some bling...

Voila!

I met Seth one night after work and dropped her off at CFA for her date. Seth had brought her some beautiful pink gerbera daisies and a fruit pouch (her favorite treat these days)...what a dad!!
After dinner he took her over to the newly renovated Waverly Place to walk around and see the fountain, which apparently turns colors in the night light. He said she alternated between loving it and being completely terrified of it and ended up in his arms most of the time. I'm guessing he was sad she was scared but loved all the cuddle time:)

a thousand words

love that jackman has to stand right at/under the tv as he watches baby einstein.

love that milana is wearing jack's winter tobogan. and that her shirt is tucked into the back of her diaper, which is hanging out of her sagging sweatpants.

love that nana is down on the floor playing with matthew, who unfortunately you can't see in the picture.

love that uncle john has his eye on lj and knows what's going on and just laughs.

but most of all i love lilly jo's face as she's currently hitting nana on the bottom. because aunt natalie told her to. because, if you can't tell, she's eating a chocolate and sprinkle covered pretzel. which is all over her hands.

nice one nat
:)
