Who does that booty belong to??

Juney Baby now loves to stop and linger outside of school where there is a whole bed of little glass pebbles. She needs to walk on them, put her hands in them, pick some to take home with us, move some to the planter, and just generally be with them.

How can you make such a precious child move to the next thing? I’ve been trying to slow down and just be with her, but it’s so hard this time of year.

I hate being a bad mom, and I know that I’m not meeting my own expectations.

This tree is right outside of my office. The Spanish moss just makes it an incredible sight to behold.

We did our own thing on Sunday. Selah June was feeling a little better, but she wasn’t eating much. We decided to just spend time together and go to the store to buy clothes and go to the mall to walk around.

At TJ MAXX, we found this awesome money set. She was cracking us up because she was finding all the right places to put the bills by matching the old man faces.

I would say, “that’s right! That’s Andrew Jackson!” And she’d say “yah! That’s right!”

At the mall, we took her to ride on the little cars and trucks and boats. She wasn’t so sure about them and kind of preferred to sit in them when they weren’t moving. This kid has a serious phobia of cars!  (Not that I’m complaining…)

We came home and had dinner, including a fresh salad from our garden.

And then we ended the night with some good old Paw Patrol.  Selah June’s version of a TV dinner.

Selah June brought home some kind of stomach bug from school this week. Last night, she practically slept through Grammy and Grandpa being over for dinner, and then she managed to wake up long enough to puke her guts out all over the couch. (That is not fun to clean up.)

I stayed home from school in the afternoon so that Jeremy could go in to work. He came home with a big basket of Frozen puzzles and stickers and bubbles. (One of the perks of working at Walgreens is first dibs on day-after holiday packages and treats.)

She loves her daddy, and I can’t say that I blame her.

After dinner, he took her outside to blow bubbles.

Who needs pants?

I woke up to somebody passed out in my bed. You can see her little bracelet. She loves it and finally wants to wear it. I tried to keep her from going to sleep with that hairband on her wrist, but somehow it made it into her crib. We’re lucky it didn’t cut off circulation. It did leave a mark…

Selah June and I spent time outside in our garden this evening. We picked lots of lettuce and green onions for our salad. It was Grammy’s birthday, but there were things going on. We planned dinner at Founaris Brothers  for Tuesday.

Here is the rest of our Easter Sunday. We needed to her groceries, and the only place that was open was Walmart.

She has started leading people to where she wants them to go. This is her telling us “Come on, kids!  This way!!”

Completely out of control…

And here is the meltdown that is a staple part of any shopping trip.

Selah June looked adorable in her Easter dress even though I didn’t really get any good pictures of her before church. This one is pretty cute.

And here are her heels.

Here she is “following” her daddy. (We all know who’s following whom in this relationship…)

And we got lots of Easter treats in Sunday School.

Selah June was at Jamie’s baby shower when I arrived back home in Pensacola. We went to go get her, and she had gotten a fancy new cup.

Mall the kids did an egg hunt, and they were all told to “give some to the baby!!” She made out like a bandit. For days, she’s been pulling out chocolate. I have no idea how much more to expect. She’s got a stash from days and days of back-to-back egg hunts.

I was in Austin for the SWPSA meeting, and Jeremy was on full-time dad duty.

They went on driving adventures, shopping trips for Easter eggs, breakfast at Grover’s…all kinds of places.

She apparently woke up in the middle of the night pretty regularly, but she wasn’t too upset after the first night to see me through FaceTime. I think a bit of diaper rash and a whole lot of tired made the first night hard.

Selah June wanted to wear her Spiderman hoodie to church this morning.

She cracks me up.

What do you say to that face?
