PAD with some extended commentary

Jan 28 Laney is into her accessories. She likes jewelry and she loves hats. If she sees a hat in sight, she needs to be wearing it. Today was no exception.

And don't mind the pajamas- my girls pretty much live in them in the winter. Erich doesn't dress them in clothes when I am at work. If by chance one of them has a bad diaper and needs a new outfit, he finds them a new set of jammies to wear. When I get home from work, I feed Laney lunch, play for a few minutes, and then put her down for a nap. I assume her pajamas are warmer and more comfortable for napping so I leave them on. And unless we are going somewhere in the afternoon, I don't see the point of dirtying another outfit so pajamas it is.

I couldn't pick just one for today. SO the first picture is all about Laney's accessories. If you can't tell, it is Erich's belt wrapped twice around her waist. And those are baby rings are on her wrist. Weird Babens is what Erich would say.

And this picture leads me to a major dilemma in the mothering of Laney- her hair. She has great little curls in the back. Those are from Erich. I love them. The front though- not so great curls. More weird wave. Those are from me. I hate them. So what do I do with her hair. I am pretty sure she won't sit still for me to round brush it or diffuse it or straighten it. So does she just have bad hair for a while? Doesn't help that her dad will NOT let me get her a hair cut.

These two represent the same event from both angles. After baths tonight, Allie was laying on her tummy. After a bit she rolled herself to her back like she normally does. And then she went to her side which she does quite often as well. And then she grunted and moaned and wiggled and kicked her legs until once again she was on her tummy. Since it appeared to be a long and difficult process for her, I started cheering for her when she finally made it over. When Laney heard the cheering, she joined in. And then she preceded to lay on the floor in front of her and continue to say "Yeah Allie." Thus, the pictures came to be.
