Tied around her little finger!

So Bryce had a huge project due today so he was at work until 11 pm last night. Yes crazy I know but he doesn't even complain. After he got home he had to have his elle time, it was hillarious. He got her out of bed and brought her into our bed and played and laughed with her until around 1. I know not very good for a little girl to be up that late but how could I tell him no, he wanted to hang out with her so very badly:) At around one he finally went and rocked her to sleep and came back to bed. He was up and at it again at 7am. How he does it I have NO idea. Elle and I slept in of course.. nothing new, and I was still tired. Don't know how I landed this guy but man oh man I am one lucky girl! He is the most amazing father and hardest worker I have ever known. Elle and I are so blessed, I count my lucky stars every night that I met you! Thanks for blessing us with such an amazing, wonderful, full of fun life honey you are the best!!!!

Sweet November

November is off to a fun start! We have had so much fun we can't even believe it is already the tenth! Pretty soon Thanksgiving will be here! Time sure files when you have a little one! We just got snow yesterday and it is BEAUTIFUL outside! Absolutely gorgeous! Definitely Winter now!

All these babies! One of my girlfriends had a little boy that they named Jaydon. Made him and her some fun goodies! Hope she likes them!

When the snow came so did my craftiness and just had to make another apron! So fun!

So this is my little girl all ready for church Sunday! She is just my little doll! I am in love with her hat found it at etsy.com best buy yet! Loved it so much had to buy myself one. So warm!

Two of Elle's teeth broke through so she is back to her happy smiley self. YAHOOO!!!!!

She is moved up to a big girl car seat and here she is conked out. The best way for a baby to be:)

So we have decided that Elle has taken some of her Daddy's qualities and is the biggest pack rat EVER! She empites out this basket that is under her changing table full of goodies. Then she brings it into the living room and puts all her favorite toys in it and will sit in it. It is hillarious. At the end of the day I pack it up and put everything back in it and away and by the next afternoon she has it out again. She is my silly little girl for sure!! Makes me laugh everyday!

The Good, Bad and Ugly...

So with all the fun and good posts also come the bad. I have decided to print this off as a journal every year, so I decided I should post the crabby times too:)!!

The first year of life for Elle was a breeze, she has always been a great sleeper, happy and so QUIET.We knew the end was near of this wonderful stage. Well she turned one and the terrible twos crept in. Yes the terrible twos. She has this new high scream pitch that she does all day long. Trying to get my attention, or just for fun. She doesn't want me to ever let her go and she scratches/ pinches at my face all the time. She has decided that I am not her favorite person anymore and definitely loves dad more:) Oh all that work let's hope she will come around. Well had to vent and hopefully since she started the stage early she will end it early right? Thank goodness she has the most amazing auntie that will come take her through the good, bad and ugly times and loves her the same. Thanks Adi for being the most amazing sister/ auntie anyone could ever ask for. You keep me sane on days like these! Sure love you!!!
