Go, team, go!

So apparently Bear is a Clemson fan,....

Happy ....

Happy Halloweenie!

Sully and Sally

I was telling Bear about the big scary  dude from Monster's Inc. and said, "he's Sully." So she peered under the couch where Sally was....

So we had an impromptu meeting of silly animals 😇

Demolition in the kitchen

Bear's figured out how to take apart her little Hape kitchen....

Tiny tornadoes

This is life now, working on concentration skills with a tiny, beautiful tornado. This child is full of exuberance and loves new things, small creatures, orphaned babies, and anything with moving parts. She loves figuring things out on her own, and will scramble over to us to show us something she's learning, even if she has no idea what's going on.

I tell our little Bear almost daily that "God made you just right," and I wholeheartedly believe that. Especially when I see bits of my hubby or myself in her.

Leftover birthday bath ideas

We had a few balloons leftover from Bear's birthday, so we invited one to play in the bathtub. ... Mainly because she wasn't wearing a diaper to catch the reason behind an emptying and refilling of the tub,... But kiddo had a lot of fun with the balloon. Five minutes at LEAST!

Laundry

This is how one does laundry with a Bear.

Traffic cam

Bear got to watch some steamrollers work on the road across the yard. It was very exciting!

After nap,...

Comes awesome hair!!

(After taking a nap in the recliner with daddy, while daddy watched "Masha and the Bear" on Netflix)

One!

This girl is ONE (well, for over a week now) and learning new things every minute!
