First Day of Preschool!

The Little Miss reached a HUGE milestone today…she attended her first day of preschool!  That’s right, our Little Miss is now a “Little Duckling” in Miss Pam’s 2-year-old class at Triangle Presbyterian Preschool.

It’s official.  My little girl has grown up (sob!).

So what’s a proud, weepy parent to do on this very special and important day?  Why, take a photo of the new Little Scholar, of course!

Well…that is, if the Little Scholar is willing.  Which she wasn’t.

So, after a good deal of asking, followed by outright begging, we were able to capture a few shots before the Little Miss Rebel headed off to school.

 

Despite our somewhat frustrating beginnings, the rest of the morning went really well.  After arriving at school, the Little Miss walked confidently and excitedly into her classroom.  She barely had time to give her (despairing) Mama a hug and a kiss before she grabbed a seat at the play-dough table.

And what about the end of the morning?  How was the Little Scholar when I picked her up, you wonder?  Why, bubbly as ever, of course!  When I arrived she gave her teacher a big hug and then bounded out of the room, full of news about her day.  And by “news” I mean 2-year-old jibber jabber.  So while I have no idea what she actually said (or did, for that matter), I am sure that it was all super fun and positive.

Hooray!

When Daddy came home from work we tried one more time to commemorate the day with a (cheerful) photo of our Little Preschooler.  She may not have been wearing pants, but whatever.  We’ll take what we can get!

 (Showing off her first art project…a paper duckling!)

 (I think she looks way too grown up here.  Where’d my baby go?!?)

(Love, Love, Love)

We are SO PROUD of our Little Miss!

And not to be forgotten, the Little Mister had a great day too.  He may have wailed the ENTIRE time he was in his carseat, causing his Mama all sorts of undue stress, but he was perfectly happy the rest of the day!

The Little Mister is 2 Months Old!

Our adorable Little Mister turned 2 months old on August 15.  It’s hard to believe how fast time flies!  He is doing great…eating like a champ and sleeping better and better.  He even went down for his first “real” bedtime (8:30pm) last night, and only woke once to nurse!

Here are his stats…
– Weight of 14 lb 11.5 oz (85%)
– Height of 24 in (85%)
– Head circumference of 40 cm (75%)

Go Little Guy, Go!!!

We love our Little Sweet Cheeks!

Time to Par-Tay!

It’s hard to believe, but our Little Miss turned TWO on July 9th.  Her birthday turned into more of a birth-month, as our Little Party Animal asked Daddy and me to sing the “Happy Birthday” song as least 10 times a day…not just to her, but also to her friends, family, animals, toys…you name it.  I even found myself singing to her sandals during one particularly fussy drive home.  Desperate times call for desperate measures, people!

Here’s our Little Princess, ruling the roost in her birthday party dress.

To ring in the Little Gal’s birth in style we hosted a crazy-fun party with some of her best buddies.  We were able to pull off this feat with the wonderful help of Nena and Pops (Plaxico), and Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin (Wright).

 

The Little Birthday Girl and her friends had a blast, splashing around in our kiddie pool (what’s not to love about a pool that is in the shape of a giraffe?!), popping bubbles, shooting water guns, and chowing down on yummy cupcakes.

Here are photos from the backyard fun…

And then the eating commenced!  As the Executive Chef, baking for a toddler who likes anything sweet, I reserved the right to choose the flavor of the cupcakes.  Hence, the Little Miss and her pals were served chocolate cupcakes, which boasted oreos on top, in the frosting, and hidden in the middle.  It was a decadent and delicious overload of sweet yummy goodness!

 

It was a great day spent with great people.  We are so thankful for all of the love these wonderful family and friends poured out upon our Little Miss on her birthday!  (And for Josh Mugford taking photos of the event for us!)

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet girl!
