Tuesday SUNSHINE!!

Tuesday the sun shone. So we took advantage of it with 2 long walks and a trip to the park. I didn't get any good shots of the girls because they were always on the move - but I did want to document... Natalee in a dress.
Not because Natalee never wears a dress, but because, quite the contrary... it's all she wears. Every day that she's not in a dress is a fight. Guarantee it.

Every morning she cries if she can't wear a dress to school. We have finally reached a compromise... if she keeps it clean and doesn't play in the sand box or ride on dirty bikes, or pretty much do anything dirty outside, then she can wear a dress.

And she does. every. day.

Today she wore this dress to school. When I told her she had to change to go on a bike ride to the park, she tried to negotiate into a different dress. When I told her no dress on a bike ride, she said she didn't want to go on a bike ride or to the park then.

STINKER!

But I made her change, and we did go on a bike ride to the park, with the promise that she could put the dress back on the moment we got back home. [sigh]

hence the black dress on this walk.... I didn't have the fight in me to make her change again for our second walk of the day.

I have a feeling our summer photos are going to be Shy and Hollie in tanks and shorts, Natalee in dresses.... I just have a feeling...

Love it! That is so cute! Enjoy it, because when she gets older, she might not ever want to dress up!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
