Not a Paid Endorsement

For Christmas I received a Learning Tower. Vivian loves standing at the counters while I'm cooking but I don't feel safe standing her on a chair or sitting her on the counter (she's a wiggly one.) The tower has sides to keep her from falling off but it has openings so (once she gets a little older) she can climb into it herself. 

She and I love this tower!! I like it because she's kind of trapped so I can walk around the kitchen without worrying about her. She asks to stand on it frequently so she can eat a snack or wash hands, or play in drawers. It makes her so content to be in this thing. Best present ever. However, I would say that you need to have a fairly wide kitchen because this is not a small item by any means.

The Gold Dress

Christmas (day three)

Another busy day. First, she practiced being a baseball player in a card helmet. 

What?

Just playing with my trains, nothing to see here

Then she practiced being Santa's helper

Then she got lost in the Santa hat

Then she took a cowboy style nap

Then she hung out with her elf

Home for Christmas (Day 1)

Vivian is rocking her purple skinny jeans along with her Uggs and a new jacket from Grammy and Granda. It matches the jeans perfectly. 

And a matching hat

Then she helped Grammy haul wood for the fire

Foiled Agin

I had a really cute outfit planned for today's post. She looked like a chic little skier girl ready to hang out at the base of the mountain with a hot chocolate. Instead I ended up with this:

She has figured out my super secret ipad case. So, I actually had my new toy to myself for five whole days. I guess that's something. She's eating homemade chex mix right out of the tupperware because that's the way she likes it now. And her outfit is an Avengers shirt and sweat pants. Doesn't sound like something she would wear in Aspen? Well...

At daycare Vivian found an unopened bag of sugar. She then managed to open the bag and start eating the sugar - thus getting it all over her face and clothing. And she managed to do this in the 30 seconds it took for her provider to change another kid's diaper. My child is truly a juggernaut of destruction.

Cooking

Tonight Vivian helped me make taquitos. Mostly she just ate shredded cheese and a tortilla. She had fun though. Putting her on the chair makes me so nervous though!
