We’ve instituted a family play time.  Every night before bed we spend some time in Selah June’s room to play on our tummies and talk about our day.  We sing songs — specifically Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  We watch Sophie (the puppy) and try to touch her.  We fly in the air over Daddy’s head.  Sometimes Mommy takes off our sock feets and plays with our toes.  We squeal and sing all together making loud noises just because we can.  And we finally suck our thumbs when we’re getting too tired to keep it up.

Selah June has the most beautiful face of anyone I’ve ever seen.  (That’s not partial in the least….)

I can’t help but put bows and flowers in her hair as often as possible.  And she’s great about it.  I’m sure she has no preference in the matter, but I’m a big fan of babies with head accessories.  She humors me.  She doesn’t act mad and get her panties in a twist about it.  She doesn’t pull at them or cry until I get them off.  She just sports them like a little princess.  She makes for a beautiful princess….

One of my favorite times of day is the moment I walk into Selah June’s room to get her out of her crib.  She wakes up, makes some sweet little noises, waits for us to come get her, and then gives us a big grin as we enter the room.  She loves for us to find her in there.  It’s like a really basic game of hide and seek.  Total sweetness every single time.

With Dad away playing golf, Grammy and Grandpa invited me on a little day trip to Malbis.  We had no idea how long Selah June would last, but it was worth a shot.

We dressed in our cutest outfit.  We packed tons of diapers and milk.  And we definitely  took Sophie – the giraffe.

Our number one stop was Dillards.  Grandpa took SJ on an adventure to the men’s department.  Mom and I spent tons of time losing ourselves in shoes.

It was a good day.  Selah June got some leg warmers.

Whoever created Sophie the Giraffe was brilliant.  Long legs, long neck, squishy foam = perfect baby chew toy.  Jeremy bought Selah June a Sophie because EVERYTHING goes in her mouth right now.  She instantly fell in love with her giraffe.

poor Sophie….
