You do not know how many times people have said to me, "How old is he?" or "He's so cute!" Even when I have Tuesday dressed in dresses. To this I say, whatever. It doesn't really bother me at all, and depending on my mood I just go with it. Mainly because I am so not into the pink or the hair bow for hairless children. That last one is a big one for me. I do not get the frilly hairbow on the naked baby girl head. In fact I've made my position on this so well known that not one person has given us one.. until now. 

 

My friend Tracy told me about a member of her church who made these, "cute headband hairbow things out of vintage hankies." It sounded intriguing but wasn't about to go find out more, because I don't like hairbows, right? 

 

WRONG! Tracy got me Tuesday this adorable headband for her birthday and I am so gaga over it that I actually pack it in my diaper bag so that when I take off her hat it goes on. Pathetic, I know. 🙂

 

Want to know the best part? You can get one too! She sells on etsy and the price is a whole FIVE DOLLARS, and shipping a whole ONE DOLLAR. I am tempted to tell her she needs to raise the price… after I go stock up of course. 

I wanted to share some things we have really been loving over here in the play department. We spent a night last weekend going through all her play things and editing. We moved where all the toys were (if they were in the basement, they got moved upstairs, etc) and pulled out things she's too big for. It was sort of a shock to go through and realize that she was too old for some really simple things. Our plan is to re-evluate mid month every month and move things around; bring some things out/put other things into hiding. She does much better with this new system. And we'll have fun things to re-discover every month.

 

This cute guy was made by Tuesday's aunti Kat (my brother's girlfriend). Yes, it says tutu. 

 

She's made from felt, so awesome! Tuesday is just starting to grasp that people can make her little toys "come alive" and gets a kick out of me making horsey noises and galloping it around the living room. 

 

Bj's mom made her this bowl of fruit (note the inclusion of an ice cream cone = fabulousness!). I sent her this book and told her to go to town. Haha I think I need to mix up Tuesday's outfits, these photos were taken on different days. I just love her in red right now though…

 

Santa not only filled her stocking but got her this fabulous shopping cart. Technically it's for three and up I think, but she makes it work (and we have it on the lowest setting):

 

Note: she can not steer…

 

Tuesday you're going to get me!!! Watch out! 

 

This is perhaps the favorite thing right now, and I don't just mean with the little person:

 

Brent sorts the "coaster game" into a rainbow, what a good uncle. 

 

I don't really know what it's called. I got it here. It took all my surfing skills, and I'm sorry I can't link you to another site that has it in stock. It's just wooden pieces all dyed natural colors in pairs.

 

I kept trying to get it at Little Urbanites, but they were always sold out (they have one on display for kids to play with and once you play with it you want it).

 

Tuesday has just learned that things can go ON other things and IN other things. This is new. I thought she was going to be pulling everything out of every bin and every book off every shelf forever.

 

More pictures of her playing because I love her expressions… and her crazy hair.

 

Hey did you just call my hair crazy?!?!

Oh I have something to help with that, just wait until tomorrow's post!
