One of the big things we did this past month was to get a new car! A third row has become necessary because, with Big Brother's Sanfilippo, he can't control his impulses to throw or take toys from Little Sweetie. For her safety, we moved to a larger car and so far it is working out. She is very happy to have her own space (although she doesn't like being in the back and not being able to see us, so we have to keep the seat in front of her pushed down).
Trying out the areas of the new Subaru!
Another big first this month was a solo trip with Momma back to Ohio! We needed to attend cousin K's wedding and Big Brother had a dinner he needed to attend at home, so we made a quick girls' trip and had a lot of fun.
Raise your hand if you're ready to go on a fun trip with Momma!
We got to have a fun day at the McKinely Museum with Mamaw and Papaw and with Aunt D and Cousin J who came into town! We finished it off with lunch and ice cream at Taggarts!
Enjoying hotel life!
Pretty girls area ready for a wedding!
Waiting for the bouquet toss!
Congratulations Cousin K!
Twinkies are ready to head back to Texas!
And you know what we found when we got back to Texas? Another surprise! Daddy and Bubby had adopted a puppy while we were gone! Welcome to the family Buster Brown!
Buster is already a beloved member of our family and brings us so much joy!
We are also following the family tradition of keeping too busy! The kids are still in Run Club and got their first race of the season in, but Little Sister has also now added on Fall Ball and, momma's favorite, Girl Scouts!
Our runner girl!
Our baseball girl (with Assistant Coach Daddy) has been playing hard! She earned the sportsmanship medal after her first game.
Helping Momma sew on her patches to officially become a Daisy!
We had some other big first this month too...
First lost tooth!
First library card and book checkout!
And obviously our cooking adventures never stop!
Trying our hand at cauliflower pizza!
Fresh crepes were delicious!
Can't beat homemade biscuits!
And then...she was 6! How have these years flown by so quickly??? We were blessed to be able to celebrate with Mimi and PopPop and then with her friends at a Captain Marvel party.
Excited for cake and presents!
Our birthday queen had a great time on her big day!
Height and Weight
Litte Sweetie is up to 47.2 pounds this month and had a bit of a growth spurt and is now just over 44 inches!
Our family wouldn't be complete without this girl!
Personality
Completely and utterly herself. May she always be this way and feel confident in who she is.
March to the beat of your own drum, little one.
Developmental Milestones
It's amazing the things she creates when she's bored and gives herself the opportunity to look for unique ways to use her time. We've had a bit of a TV issue (we accidentally got her addicted to Scooby-Doo) but when we provide her the opportunities to use her mind, we are continually amazed with what she comes up with.
Fun Tidbits
As we do each year, Little Sweetie's birthday pictures are inspired by what she is most interested in this year. Out spunky little super hero currently identifies as Captain Marvel and it couldn't be more perfectly capture than in these photos.
Our amazing girl. May her adventurous spirit only grow!
Proud of everything that this little girl is and does and ever thankful for each day with her.
Goodnight,
LSM
Little Sweetie's Momma
