Busy Day

Vivian had a very busy day today. Before heading to school she sat outside and enjoyed the morning while reading a very important book.

Then she spent some time trying her best to climb up on the chair without falling on the ground.

Then she practiced walking some more.

And more walking. She loves Jelly Cat (yes, we named the cat the brand... I never said I was creative) so much! The only way she will walk one handed is if she is holding him.

She also loves to eat him. I think it disturbs the kitties that she does this to JC while staring at them and then crawling toward them as fast as her little arms will carry her.

She's running around naked because she refuses to wear her bib while eating dinner. I'll put it back on her a few times but eventually I give up and let her eat without it. It's not really worth the fight at this point.

Flapper Girl

This isn't a full post because I've been receiving complaints about not posting. Just pictures today. That's all anyone really cares about anyway. 

P.S. - in case anyone was wondering, we decided to wait on the playhouse for awhile. I think we might get her a Little People something or other. But I think the best present would be books. Lots and lots and lots of books (any the anywhere chair from grammy and grampa.) We decided not to tell anyone what they can and cannot get her (not that anyone needs to get her anything!!) but I'd strongly encourage books.

Birthday list

Vivian is turning one soon! Nobody needs to get her a present. She won't know the difference - she's only turning one. It really doesn't matter to me either way.  At all.

But, if anyone wants to get her something and wants some ideas, here are a few things. First, BOOKS!!! Lots and lots of books. Board books, longish books, lift the flap books (though she usually just tears off the flap and tries to eat it). Any books.

We are thinking about getting her some sort of little playhouse. I've been eying the Melissa and Doug foods to go in her little house. I've heard to hold up really well and are fun to cut in half. I'm trying to stay away from things requiring batteries as much as possible.

xylophone

An xylophone would be fun too. She likes hitting things.

That's all I can think of for now. Just some ideas. If you were wondering.

Green machine

Ok, I have a new favorite clothing brand (the former being Tea) now I love Peek. This dress is the softest ever! I wish they made grown up clothes for real yo. I also love the mini adirondack chair for pictures because she likes it but it also kind of traps her so I can attempt to get more than one picture. Though she still refuses to look at the camera most of the time.

Welcome to the gun show!

Happy Father's Day

Vivian had a very busy father's day. First, she practiced her computer programming skills so she can become a child prodigy and keep her mommy rolling in Petunia Pickle Bottom bags.

Mom, seriously, I'm working here. Leave me alone.

Then she went grocery shopping with mommy's reusable grocery bags. The umbrella is part of her super cute new PB adirondack chair.

Then she sat and read a book in her chair. So cute!

Anchors away

Yes, she's wearing pink shoes with a red dress... supposedly she picked them out herself. Not sure I believe that
