Girly

When Rosebud was a teeny baby, I used to always (okay, frequently) put a headband with a bow on her.

Exhibit A:



There came a time, though, when she hit about eight or nine months old, that she always removed the headband, so I gradually stopped using them as much.

Exhibit B:



This morning, she saw the headbands and started reaching for them, so I got one and put it on her. I said, "Soooo pretty! You are such a pretty girl!"

She left it on her head for a few minutes, then started tugging at it. When she succeeded at pulling it off, she brought it to me and started gesturing like crazy and making urgent little baby sounds, like fix-it-fix-it-fix-it!!

So I put it back on her. Her face broke out in this huge smile and she bounced up and down excitedly. I said, "Soooo pretty!" again and she just lapped it up.

A few minutes later we repeated the whole process again.

And then again a few minutes after that.

So I had to take a picture.

Exhibit C:




(And of course Brother had to join in, too. :) I'm pretty thrilled that I got an actual picture of him smiling instead of grimacing!)



*Yes, my daughter is indeed wearing the same footy pajamas she was wearing last night. Sometimes I just let her keep wearing the same thing for a day or two longer...if it's still clean and we aren't going anywhere. Go ahead and judge me. :)

Boy those are some cute kids!!! and as for the bit about Rosebud wearing the same outfit: the summer when it was warm we often didn't bother changing him into pjs so we'd just leave him in whatever onesie he was wearing...and if it was clean, he'd wear it the next day too! so I think you're practical, not gross :P
