Malia Months 22-23

Papa

Nana
I'm sorry, I don't have any pictures of Marlene (Grandma).  I can't leave her out though.  I guess it's because she's always babysitting the kids for us, so I'm not there to take pictures of them together.  But, thank you Marlene for all that you do for our kiddos!

Malia's first painted toenails!  Sooooooo cute!

And it begins ~ What mama wears, Malia wears!

 

This little girl likes to strip down to her scrawny little bear bum during her naps.  I never know what I'll walk into when I wake her up. 

One of her most favorite toys right now is Mr. Potato Head, and of course, she wears his glasses.

We were at one of many weddings this summer and the little ring bearer caught her eye.  They just stood staring at each other for several minutes.

Yep, I think she belongs to me!

What a beauty and a sweetie.  I sure love my little monkey! I can't believe that we're dawning on two years of age in August already.  She is another light in my life and I am so thankful that the Lord brought her into our family.

Malia 19-21 Months

Our little monkey!  She loves to hang from anything that is high enough to pick her feet up off of the ground and start swinging. 

Fastpitch uniform just like the big girls.

This is the flower girl dress that she will wear in Cristina Meeuwse's wedding on July 21st.

Malia was digging in the dirt at one of Gabe's baseball games.  By the end of the game, she was able to reach down into the hole, all of the way to her elbow.

Pure sunshine!

I love the layered look, colors, skirts with rubber boots, etc. 

Again she loves other people's shoes!

She is so goofy!

This is the sweet sweater that my mom finished making for her.  I just love it!

I'm finally able to say, "smile," and Malia will actually look in the direction of the camera some of the time and smile the other times.  I love her little face.

HAIR!!!!!!! We have hair folks and enough of it to actually make a little french braid and some pigtails!!!!
