Ups and Downs

Oh man, I adore this little girl of ours! She is outrageously fun and lately VERY exhausting. The tantrums have come on strong and I am just beside myself with what to do! It looks like I need to start reading a whole new topic of books on how to best deal with it. On the other hand she is just so vocal and willing to chat and cuddle and that makes all the low points worth it!

I love when she plops down by me and copies me. She has started crossing her legs whenever she sits now and even repeating some of the phrases I use.

She got a little black eye this week from falling just perfectly on a hard plastic ball and then again on the back of the couch the next day. Two on the same eye in two days! (The brown spot above her eye is just eye liner - she likes to put on some with me). This picture was before she got the second one. But she continues to smile!

We tried to take some pictures of a Veterans Day card we made for Grandpa Stevens (so we didn't have to mail it) and she wanted to hold the phone. So we got a series of hilarious, hysterical Afton!

And just because we have to end on a good note!
