Ok, so I was looking back over my older posts, and realized you probably all think I don't dress my daughter. Honestly, I DO! She does NOT like to keep clothes on her little body! Well, other than when she layers up for winter in 112 degree weather like a couple posts ago! :) But, she had those clothes off within about a half an hour.
Seriously, the only time I can keep clothes on her is if we are away from hom. Even then I think she's itching to get home and get those clothes OFF. She takes her hair out of how ever I do it when we're out. I think this is her version of stripping in public.
We're having a birthday party for the kids this coming Friday, and I'm hoping she'll keep her clothes on for that! I'm not holding my breath, though. She usually has her clothes of within an hour or so whenever we have friends over. I'm sure a couple extra people won't make her shy. Heck, she will even go to the door when we answer it, run past us and the person at the door to run around our hallway in circles in just her underwear. I think we're going to have to start gluing her clothes on.
Yes, my little nudist in training...
She did NOT learn this habit from me!!!!
Here's a pic from (ALMOST!) a year ago now. My goodness, time flies! I can't believe she's gonna be 4! She's been such an amazing big sissy this past year. :)
OH! Speaking of flying time, Jaden took some more steps today, without me coaxing him! I was sitting on his floor in his room, and he used me to stand up, and I scooted back, but didn't say a word, and he stepped towards me! After sitting down for a sec again, he stood back up and took 2 steps! The best thing was how he laughed after he did it! It's like he was so excited and proud of himself. He's getting SO big! I know, there are so many kiddos who walk well before they're one, but I'm ok with my kids doing their thing when they get to it! I'm still super excited for all his firsts, whenever they may happen! Ok, well, as long as he's walking by the time he starts school, we're good. hehehe! Yikes! My baby man is almost one!
Smiling birthday faces! And I can't help but laugh EVERY TIME I see this pic of Jaden!
Maleah's birthday cake, and Jaden's. I know, it's not a whole one, but it was a big piece! He's not crazy about sugar, so, we got him a slice from the bakery. 
Hasen, Maleah, and Sikayna. Maleah's great friends from here. She really is happy, just caught a sad lookin' face!
Helpin' blow out the candles! He was blowing, just not quite hard enough!
Yup, he sure know's how to get it done! hahaha!
mmmmmmm, the chocolate cake! I think she likes it! I think daddy likes his cake, too! And it's just a clue as to where my kiddos get their silly face making ability, and love of doing it! Gotta love him!
Aaaaaand, present time! (I hope I'm not the only one who thinks of Blue's Clues when I read that?!) Our lucky little kiddos got some great gifts. After opening the gifts, we went up to our pool and swam the afternoon (and sugar jitters!) away. And man oh man, did they sleep well that night! It really was a great day.
This girl LOVES balloons! I think if we just gave her balloons for every gift, she'd be happy!
