Friday night Sylvia got to play dress up with her cousins Joy & Juliet. They each came out with a princess outfit on and Joy had even put a little makeup on the baby girls. Well this was really Sylvia’s first experience with playing girly things and she loved it! The next day she rummaged through her drawers and found her bathing suit with ruffles which she wanted me to put on her. I went down and found the bag of tutus and pettiskirts I use for photo props – the same ones she would scream about if I tried putting on her . Well now she wants them all on at once and screams if I try and take them off. So here is my new found girly-girl in her glory
I say the same thing every year, but I can’t believe my oldest baby is this old already!
His favorite things right now (or should I say the only thing he cares about at all) are trains. He has quite an imagination too. He can make anything into a train – a toy snake, plates, straws, cars, remote controls, boxes. If an object can’t be a train in his mind, it will always still have something to do with trains – it will be something to fix a train or for a train driver to use, etc. Its seriously all he thinks about!
To celebrate, first we opened presents. We didn’t get him any trains, so he wasn’t too enthused. He was pretty excited about the new bike he picked out, but claims that it wasn’t a birthday present since it wasn’t wrapped up. 
I beg to differ. We had dinner at Red Robin and then took him to a different toy store to let him get something with the money he got from his great grandma. You guessed it – he bought a train.
This face is what he does now when I ask him to smile for me:
Last Sunday we had his birthday dinner at my mom’s, so thought I would add a couple of those pics as well.
And I can’t leave this rascal out either She loves pushing the buttons on my camera which is the only way I can get a pic out of her.
