Benji likes Blondes

(Keep in mind that Benji is 2.5 years old, and the language is difficult, at times.)

This morning Benji was brushing his hair with my brush and pulled out a dark hair.

"My hair!"

"No buddy, your hair is blonde, that's daddy's hair."

"I like blondes... ducks and swimming..."

I was holding Kayla while sitting on the ground by the canal, enjoying some after-dinner ice cream with the family. Kayla started getting upset and Jenn, who was sitting beside me, mentioned that she was probably hungry. Awkwardly I lifted Kayla off my lap and to the ground. She's been strong enough to hold herself standing with assistance for a while now, so she was standing and I was only holding her with one hand. (The other was preoccupied with the aforementioned ice cream.) Jokingly, I said, "Ok, Kayla. Walk to Mommy."

Jenn and I were stunned when she took three steps toward Jenn. I'm still blown away.

New Floors!

Here is a glimpse at our new floors! I personally think they are even prettier in person (plus the day was cloudy, dark and gray). I love seeing the sunlight reflect off of them. None the less, here they are!

Goodbye Kitchen Floors

Mommy has been waiting almost 3 years to do this! Floors by the side of the curb. Yippee! Tile is going in as this is being written! Pictures to come.

Erin's Baby Shower

Mommy and Kayla visited Mommy's friend Erin in Brooklyn over the weekend. Erin is expecting her first baby in June! Kayla had so much fun playing with new friends. Below is a picture of all the bridesmaids (minus 1) from Erin's wedding. Can't believe that was 6 years ago!

Kayla was practicing her rolling over.

Look how pretty Kayla was!

Love

A big boy bike? Pink Princesses here we come!

I really really wanted a new big boy bike like my friend Patrick. Well, lucky me, my favorite gal Mary offered hers to me. Mommy asked me what color I wanted her to paint it and I demanded "Noooooo, pink princess bike!!" So---I now am a proud owner of a *new* pink princess bike.

3 months old!

11 week Milestones

Kayla had a busy time hitting 11 weeks. She now giggles (on exactly 11 weeks) and at 11 1/2 weeks she rolled over from back to front. Mommy found her on her tummy screaming!
