A little bit of lately

Here are some snapshots of life lately:

Finally, finally I have a child that has hair at least semi-long enough for pigtails.  So, SO cute.

She is in a funny stage where she mimics EVERYTHING we do.  Anytime I get out the vacuum or the broom, she has to get something too to follow me around and try to clean beside me

Sometimes it doesn't go so well

Her absolute obsession with books is hilarious and adorable.  She will grab a book, bring it over to me, and once she is about two feet away, turns around and backs up into my lap pushing the book into my hand.  We spend probably 60% of our day in this position with me reading Brown Bear over and over and over and over.  

I will catch her in her room silently looking through books all by herself.

Snack time!

See?  ALWAYS reading books!  It's her favorite thing to do.  

Antagonizing the Canine

Brennan ADORES Sophie and thinks that she is just the funniest thing in the world.  I'm glad that Soph is such a loving, gentle dog because Brennan makes her put up with a lot.  Watch these videos.  She's funny.

My favorite part in this one is when she walks away clapping, so proud of herself

and a 5, 6, 5 6 7 8

SOMEBODY went to her first dance class today.

She didn't really follow any of the directions but her LOUD squeals of laughter and joy told me that she loved it.
