all in order

i have so much to blog about. i have so many pictures to share. i have such stories to tell!

but i feel frozen because i want to do it all in order. but but but, it just takes so long to blog.

this was one of the last times we went to the park, just me, shelby, and my belly.

see her nail polish chipping away? love it.

she's a funny one! she kept me in shape during pregnancy. she loves to be chased. and she also seems to enjoy it when i have to use force to get her in the car seat/stroller/etc.

and here was our last little photo shoot before the baby arrived.

i had to get pictures of her in the 3 piece rain outfit my mom got her.

she has been obsessed with it for months.

she always asks to wear her rain boots, rain coat, and rain umbrella.

cute that she calls it a rain umbrella, it totally makes sense right? why leave off the "rain" part when the other pieces have it in their name? it's so confusing learning the english language. sorry shelby.

"look at my kitty boots!"

checking the mail. a favorte pastime.

oh and this umbrella is so broken. like it;s now dangerous with stuff poking out of it.

i kept telling her that umbrellas weren't made to stand on.

she loves singing

"rain rain go away come again another day"

over and over and over.

i admit that dora is who taught her that song.

here's the big secret though. i was really taking these pictures so that at the end of this year when i make everyone's calendar there will be pictures for january! it's a hard month for photos.

i love my little girl who is now my big girl.

sniff. sniff. that's gonna make me cry.
