An Experience Outdoors.

From the point of view of Ross.

"AWWWW! I've fallen down, mama."

"Wait. Did I just fall in . . . grass?"

"And, look, it's on my pants?"

"Noooooo, Mama!  It can't be grass!"

"You know, I don't do grass!"

"Ugh..."

"Geez..."

"Ah, yes. THIS is much better."

"Isn't the outdoors GREAT, mama!?!?!"

An Afternoon Outdoors!

It's so amazing to think that this time last year Ross was barely even crawling!

She certainly gets around these days!

The New Kitchen

If you follow the other blog, then you already know Pop built Ross a FABULOUS new kitchen for Christmas! I'd been waiting to reveal it until I was able to put a few finishing touches on on the walls. 

I wish I could express to you how excited we are about it!

But, maybe a few of these pictures will give you some kind of idea . . .

In the Kitchen

We always have a good time in the kitchen.

Because there's plenty to get into.

In fact, we've recently discovered the art of cooking . . .

. . . and mama tasting.

"Wing-ies!"

I guess you're OFFICIALLY a big girl when you 

only want to swing in the big "wing-ies."

*sigh* 

How has it already come to this?

Make-Up

I've been on a search for play make-up for months now and haven't been able to find anything!  BABY stuff . . . not the little girl play make-up (goodness knows we're I'm not ready for that yet!)   So, in the meantime, I've given Ross some of my old stuff to use . . . 

and as you can see, she's quite taken with it.

When did she get so big?

*sigh*

The Dollhouse

I know for a fact you've seen this dollhouse somewhere.

When I asked my mom if we could borrow it, I had no clue what a hit it would be!  It is by far Ross's favorite toy EVER.  Every morning she wakes up and says, "BABIES!" (a.k.a. Let's go and play with those babies in the dollhouse right now.")

I have a feeling she'll talk us into getting a real dollhouse one of these days . . .

Ross & Salsa

Salsa has always been wild, and she certainly doesn't hold back now that there's a third person in our household . . .

Of course, Ross loves every second of it!

But, when she gets to be just TOO much . . .

she'll let us know it's time to swing!

(She's signing "swing.")

[swing: fingers fold over like legs sitting on a chair,

then swing back and forth]
