Love it OR Hate it!

Loves getting her fingers and toes polished! ..but hates it when her toes "accidently" touch before they are dry!!

Lovin' her first pony ride! ......and then of course Hating it!

BUT, she ALWAYS loves her popcorn!

..but still HATES the backfloat!

Loves the new glasses!

Loves getting dirty in the sand with Sammy!

AND Looooves Rylee Bona!

A picture is worth a thousand words....

My Big Girl

Well, here she is modeling her "Big Girl Panties!!" Yes, she is officially potty trained : )) Believe it or not she is no longer a Paci Addict either! She traded in her pacis for her favorite Backyardigans stuffed animals!!! Some huge milestones these past few months, she is growing up soooo fast!

We also had some fun at a local produce farm and she started swimming lessons last week! Hopefully the crying will end SOON : (( Well, here are some new pics!

One of my many new pairs of big girl panties : ) My favorite are the Ni Ho Kai Lan ones! My new horsie "Butterscotch!" I'm going to grandma's house!!
