All About Chick

Me & Hatcher took Chick on a walk this weekend and I grabbed a few pics.  She was hilarious when I was taking pictures because she would come up with poses for Hatcher & her....carefully placing him in a certain spot and telling him to stay put while she finds her perfect pose.  And she'd even show me where to stand to take the pic....and then she'd yell, "Alright...READY....Cheese!!"  

Here's a few updates on our girl:

Chick is really tall for her age (92nd percentile)!  EVERYONE thinks she's three years old (she turned 2 in August)!  

She's becoming super affectionate.  I'll be buckling her in her carseat and she'll play with my hair and tell me, "Mama so beautiful" or "Mama cute!"  Or she'll just look at me and say, "Chick loves Mama," and give me a kiss.

She loves Disney princesses and Barbies.  She hasn't even seen all the princess movies but knows all their names. 

She's super preoccupied with monsters.  She'll see a dark hallway and start yelling "monkers, monkers!" or she'll look in the trash can and yell, "monkers, monkers" or "monkers in there!"  She's way too young to be worried about monsters because it's difficult to explain to her that monsters aren't real!  

Ruth is teaching her spanish at the YMCA (when she's being babysat) and she'll whip out random words like "dedos" for fingers, "circulo" for circle, "Chow" for good-bye, and "Ven mama" for come here.  It's really, really cute....except that I don't speak spanish so I don't know what she's telling me about!

I love our girl and here's some pics!

Me & Chick got in a fight about her wearing the clip in the rest of the pictures and she won.

Chick was showing Hatcher (and vice versa) how to pose and she thought it was hilarious

These are two of Chick's poses (she also chose this exact location...I haven't taught her lighting yet).  Notice how on the left she's telling me to move back further and instructed Hatcher to keep both hands up.  I guess she has a thing with posing with lots of distance in between subjects. ; )

Props to Hatcher for taking this pic!

I love that shirt that Vanessa's wearing! I was cracking up thinking of her saying all of those Spanish words. What a cutie!

oh my gosh, what a cutie!! Jocelyn is in the 96% for height. Everyone thinks she's older too. Kinda makes me sad. I almost bought that shirt at Target! I love it!!

She is so dang cute! I'm a little concerned for our kids, considering I've been 5'9 since 7th grade and Justin is 6'4! Oh dear, green giant children!!
I love these pictures. Fall walks are the best.
PS Lookin good from the back, there I said it.

Ok so love the pics. I thought that I had already commented so sorry for the big delay. :) So, we just bought our tickets to Utah for Christmas. We weren't going to go but we decided that it would be best to be with Ben's dad during the holidays and we found a great deal on the tickets. We will be there from the morning of the 23rd until the morning of the 29th. Are you guys going to be there over Christmas? If so, we should try another get-together. :)

Andrea, I think I have a sick obsession with your blog. . . or I really enjoy the distraction because I check it for updates everyday. Ahhh, I feel better now that I confessed :)
