One going on 15

The Hubs and I are in some major trouble when Belle hits her teenage years. I truly believe that she was born with the ability to roll her eyes immediately, because people my 20 month old is a pro at it.

Last week Belle and I were outside, her in her pool, me in a chair watching her. She started taking a cup, filling it with water and dumping it out of the pool. I was fine with it until I realized that our grass was becoming one big mud pit in from of her pool. I nicely told her to cut it out a few times before I had to take the cup away.

Oh my God, major melt down in the middle of her pool. How dare I take that cup away from her, the world is now over as she knows it. After she calmed down I asked her if she was going to keep the water in the pool. She said yes. I handed to cup to her, as she took it she looked at me then the chair I had been sitting in and said "Go" as she waved me back to the chair.

Really??? It wasn't just “go”, it was a go I am done with you. Be gone. I texted The Hubs that his "cute" little girl he was just texting me about was going to get it. Apparently Belle is 20 months going on 15. I dread the teenage years. I was a horrible when I was a teenager. Talk about the Queen of drama. So I know that it will just be payback, because let’s face it, Belle is my daughter 100%.

For now I hope her little attitude stays in check and that we are still years away from the talking back and eye rolling...oh wait. We are already there. Yep, I believe all girls are born with this ability and can roll their eyes the minute they are born.

Wordless Wednesday - Pieces of Pink

This is what your house looks like when you have a little girl.

Wordless Wednesday

Is she not the sweetest kid ever!! Don't worry the next day she was throwing her baby and yanking her out of her stroller. But my kid is a nuggler!

Little Foot

My child's feet are not growing. Ok that's a lie, they are growing. Just very very slowly. My child who is about 2 weeks from her 1st birthday is in a size 2 shoe. Which translates into 3/6 months. Do you know how hard it is to find decent shoes for her. She will be walking soon. We need to get shoes she can walk in, not the pre-walker crap. I want hard soled shoes for her.

We have looked at Target in the baby section, they have all sandals our still. Let's face it. The fall weather is here to stay she needs sneakers or some type of fall clothes. We then looked at Pedipeds. Which they have some of the cutest shoes. We don't have a store in the area that sells them so I printed off the size chart and we sized her little feet. She doesn't even fit in their smallest size.

A couple weeks later my mom and I were at the mall. So we went into the Stride Rite to have her sized. This is where we got the official size 2. The lady then pointed out which shoes we can get for her. A shelf and a half. Have you looked at their shelves? They hold 5 shoes. And they were pre walkers. Yes I know my child is a pre walked. But she's going to be a year. She's standing and walking while holding onto things. She is not all that far from walking.

Any ways, I have been looking for a pair of black dressy type shoes to wear for her birthday. I have actually been lucky and finding pairs that fit her and are hard soled. Shoes are easier to find then sneakers apparently. We ended up getting her a pair from Target. They are so cute! Love them. But she still needs sneakers.

We were at the mall last weekend. We looked in Penney's nothing in sneakers. Looked while we were in Old Navy, Gymboree, Children's Place, and even went back to Stride Rite. Nothing! Seriously nothing!

Right before we were going to leave I told The Hubs to try Payless. Ok, how have I never even thought of looking in Payless until now???? I get my work shoes there so why have I never thought to look for baby shoes there. Seriously I was in baby shoe heaven. They don't have a lot, but a lot more then we have been finding. And, they had size 1 and 2 in hard sole shoes!!!!

I got her a cute pair of brown with pink and purple polka dot slip ons. I know not sneakers. They were cheaper, cuter, and perfect for the fall. We tried them on her while she was in the stroller. They were a little hard to get on but the fit. So we bought them. We got home, put them on her and her foot slides right out of them.

I give up! I should have bought the damn sneakers.

And then I remembered The Hubs cousin bought us sneakers for our baby shower. I thought they were a size 4. Last night I took a chance and pulled the box out.

A big fat 2 starred back at me. No way!

My daughter is sporting pink converse sneakers today. Because she is that cool! Love them!

And trying to get a picture of a moving 11 month old with a camera phone....not so easy. Sorry about the horrible blurry pictures. I wanted to get a picture of the cuteness that is the converse sneakers.

Mother Daughter Spa Day

Really no girl is ever to young for a Spa Day. Ok really Belle and I did not go to a Spa. But on Sunday after her bath we got settled on the couch and I clipped her nails and painted her toes.

Yup, I painted her cute little toes. A pretty pink. Mommy's little girly girl. Once we were done painting Belle's little piggys we moved on to my toes. So yes, now Belle and I have matching pink toes.

I take these moments of dressing Belle in pinks and dresses, and bows and ruffles. I am a girly girl. Always have been and always will be. I am afraid that my daughter will not. It will be all too soon that she hates pink and dresses. She wants to wear jeans and t-shirts. She would rather play sports then take dancing.

So for now, she will be my little girly girl. Pink and dresses, and bows and ruffles and all. And we can't forget the tutu!

And she loves her pretty pink toes!

Doesn't that face just scream happiness???
