Cute Kid Update

No big topic on this post,
(you may have noticed the title is
"small and simple...")
just acknowledging how great I
think my babies are.
Lily continues to love all things "princess" and reminds me EVERY day that she does NOT like to wear pants! I have to explain in great detail the practicality of pants on days that we go to the park and even then...let's just say I am very grateful to the person who created the "skort"! I have to admit that she is lovely and acts very ladylike in her princess dresses.
Phinn, our short version of Phoenix, (and PS I KNOW there is no alphabetical or grammatical connection in that nickname...but that's just the way it is!) anyway, Phinn is growing like a weed. He is a wiggly worm and, at least judging by the above photo, likes to show off his guns! :o)

We are enjoying his toothless grins, his first little coos, and teaching him sign language...okay, so basically, Lily is spearheading the early sign education program. She is convinced that Phinn has already learned how to sign "milk" (see last photo) and she is moving on to "more", "eat" and "flowers"...she is a great teacher!

Very Cute! I still can't believe your deal on that dress of Lily's! I am totally jealous. Finn is a doll, and with guns like those, of course you have to show them off! Welcome to the gun show, baby. :)

Finn??? i'm so jealous right now... i just love that name. did i ever tell you about the story of me wanting to name Brody, Finn. anyway, everyone got the biggest kick out of the way Finn Fish--el would sound. needless to say i wasn't amused. anyway, i feel your pain over the pants situation...maddie only came out of character once today from being Arial from the little mermaid, and that was only to be a dog so that she could play under the table. oh the life of little princesses...wait, does that make us Queen's. love the sound of that.

prepare yourself, but the princess thing may not fade for a while. laney has been a princess every year for halloween since age 1. at 4 months, i had her be a rabbit, but she did not choose much then. since then, we've done them all. i can only see the days ahead for you! :)
