The Life of a Three-Year-Old through I-Phone Pics

My three-year-old Lily got a hold of my I-phone the other day. I only knew this because I noticed a ton (like 50) of random pictures in the photo files. I started to erase them- slightly annoyed-  but then actually stopped to take a look. She got quite a few amazing shots- shots that made me think about what she sees from her vantage point. Many shots made me smile. At the time she was eating a snack at the table in the afternoon by herself. Hence, why she had time with my phone. Good thing she didn't call Sochi! 

Mi-ladies tutu.

A view of the ceiling from her seat.

She must enjoy art!

School book pile-

The edge of the table-

More of her tutu-

Nice X!

Her brothers dirty socks-

Worthy of two shots to capture the full evidence-

A view between the chair rails but right at her sight level- love it

 Gotta have more tutu! Legging knee perspective-

And more books!

And spaghetti-o's- these are Aunt Annie's though! 

I think I ate a full ton of these growing up.

Love the tiara and purse in the background-

I hope you enjoyed the peek into the world and vantage point of the sweetest three-year-old I know!

The Girls

The question of the past two months has been who does Chloe look like? Everyone seems to have a different opinion based on the day and/or picture. Most of the time another sibling or Chase is the one she is said to look like and it's been fun looking at the other kiddos pictures at the same age to compare! So who do you think Chloe looks like in this picture?

Thank you to the peanut gallery who thinks that she looks like me! I think it's the eyes and frowny eyebrow :)

Chloe gets made when you compare her and cries that she looks like Chloe! Poor thing, she's getting a complex.

But this post is titled "The Girls" and there was a reason for that. Lily loves to be read to. Mamaw witnessed that reading to her in her room. She plopped right in her lap and  brought book after book and we do read to Lily every day. We all like to read and some of her favorites are "Where's Spot?", "Counting Kisses", "Mary Engelbreits Mother Goose Nursey Rhymes", and the classic "Pat the Bunny"! All the kids have loved that book and we are on copy #2 as it's not the most toddler friendly- well Lily dipped it in the toilet so the cover is not the most water friendly! Anyway, after nursing Chloe this morning Lily was sitting next to me and wanted to "ho Coco" (she calls Chloe Coco) so I put Chloe next to her and she then started "reading" to Chloe! I couldn't believe it and so I snapped a shot.

Aren't these two so sweet! I look forward to them growing up and playing together. So glad that Lily has a playmate. She needs a different influence than just her precious brothers! Case in point- she lifted the toilet lid today and proceeded to pretend to potty standing up! Yikes- I'm out numbered here and there is more boy influence than girl- she really pays attention to more than we realize :)

Sweet Chloe had her 2 month appointment today with Dr. Middleton- Middleton Pediatrics- and she is just perfect he said. Growing well, smiling, cooing, sleeping (yipee) and all that newborn stuff. She weighed in at a dainty 11 pounds and 4 ounces and measured a very long 24 inches!! For now she is in the 59th% in weight and 94th% in height. What that means long term we'll see! But that length is second only to Jay at the same age! Longer than Lily so another tall baby!  She did have two shots and another oral vaccine. Our family has chosen to do vaccines and thankfully have not had any poor side effects beyond general fussiness. I feel blessed that they are protected from so many harmful viruses.  On another note, Jay has had a very stubborn wart for nearly 2 years now but he was starting to get a little self concious about it. I don't think it helped that Lily started poking at it curiously. Soo he worked up some courage and had it frozen this morning! He was very  brave about it and it helped I'm sure that dad was there to hold his hand!
