Love, love, love this girl

I had her hair done for pictures we were taking that and I wanted a pic of her hair before it faded.

Sportin' the snow boots.




Since this is pretty much my scrapbook for Naomi I thought I would do a little catch up on what she's been up to. As of December, she's been potty trained. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I think I just did it at the perfect time. We went to the store and she picked out her underwear. She's been really good so far. It's nice to not do diapers anymore.

She seems so grown up. She says the most random things. It cracks us up! She has an amazing memory. I have tons of stories of how great her memory is but it would take forever! She's great with her basic colors and counting to 10. Sometimes 15 skipping a few numbers. I'm excited for her to start preschool this fall. I think she will be too. It will be so fun to see everything she's learning.

She loves to talk to people. Even people she doesn't know. She usually talks to that person about what was the highlight of her day. Sometimes she fixates on something specific from that week. She loves talking on the phone. I should install the phone she got from Christmas.

She still loves animals. Sometimes she reads books to Mia or she'll tell Mia something from that day or show her something she just got. She loves going to Grandpa's cabin in Oakley to see the horses. Of course she loves going to the Zoo.

She loves being with other people. She always wants to go see her cousins or go to Grandma and Grandpa's. She loves nursery now. Thank goodness! She loves to have books read to her over and over. She still loves Diego and then Dora. She even wears Diego underwear from the boys department.
She pretty much eats whatever I give her. I know, I'm lucky. I really don't want her to be a picky eater like myself so I try to feed her a wide variety of foods. I'm a vegetarian but I make sure to fix her meat or fish whenever I find a good recipe. I wonder if one day she'll notice that I'm not eating meat and ask why. I don't want to discourage her. I need to think of something. Even though she's a great eater she also LOVES candy, treats, whatever. She definitely got that from me. It's probably all the treats she consumed in the womb! I am addicted to treats. Since we always have some sort of treat in the house I now have to put them up high otherwise she'll just get into the pantry and help herself.
I can go on and on but I won't. I always tell my self that I need to write down, at that very moment. when something happens so I won't forget. She's awesome! I love having her around. I love her personality and hope it grows even more. I love her so much and I couldn't ask for a more perfect little girl.






crazy!








So, whenever I leave Naomi in Chris's hands he seems to come up with these crazy things to do with her. The other day they showed me what they've been up to while I've been gone. Naomi LOVES to walk Mia around the house with her leash on. Mia hates it. So, Chris decided one day to hook the end of Mia's leash to Naomi's scooter and then entice Mia with a slice of ham to get her to pull Naomi, very fast mind you, across the kitchen. Obviously, Naomi loves it! There were a few accidents of course but after a few minutes of crying she wanted to go again. It was pretty funny to watch. I should of videotape it.




Dance class



Doing ballerina turns.


Jumping up and down.

Naomi had her first day of dance class this week. I thought she did better than I expected. She really had a good time. I would of taken more pictures but I forgot about my camera because I was so caught up in watching her. She has a super cute dance teacher, Miss Sarah. They made pizza's during warm up. They stepped on spiders with their tap shoes. They leaped over "animals" which were really cones. They did all sorts of fun things! I thought Naomi might not be ready quite yet but I think she is so we're excited to go again.
