Update from C^3

Sorry I've been so bad about posting pictures lately. I guess a result of that is a "picture overload" so here you go...

I just LOVE having a little girl! Isn't this the cutest picture? Caysja is really getting into playing dress-up lately. After she completed her "sticker chart" for potty training this week, we picked out a reward (boa, purse, shoes) at the dollar store for her to play dress up with. She loves to hold my cell phone and walk around the house pretending to "talk" on it--(guess she's seen her mom do that a lot or something??).

Here's my little grown up girl sittin' on the potty! (The past two days we haven't had any accidents, knock on wood!)
We completed the "sticker chart" for potty training last week-(please excuse Caysja's cheesy smile). I'm so proud of her!
I have some wonderful girlfriends here in AZ! They are my support group. Last weekend we went out to dinner together at Bajio. It was so fun--and yummy too! (Sara F., Alissa, Kristy, Kim P. me, Becky)
Another "dress up picture". Caysja found Caleb's old bike helmet and this is how she put it on. I had to take a picture!
More dress up...I'm not sure what she is here, but it sure made me laugh!
We make fruit smoothies every night with dinner and one night Caleb and Caysja decided to "share" one.
While we've potty training there are periods in the day where Caysja doesn't wear a whole lot of clothes...(i.e. after an accident usually)...so anyway, excuse my "nakey" girl. She loves doing somersaults these days (with mommy's shoes on).
Peek-a-boo! Caysja loves to climb into our hall closet and sit by the toilet paper and then call for me to come "look" for her.
Here is my little princess with all her "little people" lined up on her favorite blanket. I believe they were having a pic-nic.
Caysja is really into playing dolls lately and will just beg me every day, "pay dollies, Mommy"! (Notice the three pairs of upside down shoes on the doll's legs...)Last but not least, my friend told me about a cool blog called "She does hair" and I've had lots of fun looking at it. I tried a couple of new things in Caysja's hair this week and they turned out so cute! I love it that her hair is FINALLY getting a little longer. My friend Michelle makes and sells these cute flower hair barrettes!

It's funny how early they pick up on the cell phone thing. Kaleb (1) is already walking around holding things up to his ear and babbling.
Good job potty training!!! :) I'm glad I'm not the only one that has "nakie babies" running around. :) I just got tired going through three outfits in one day and having so much laundry before laundry day. Hahaha. You guys are just doing so awesome.
I saw that blog, too, but it makes me really nervous to have a little girl. I don't know if I could ever do the fancy hair stuff. It looks really cute, though. :)

So cute! She is such a girly girl. I love her dress ups!

Kim said...

What a fun post Criscell! I love all of the dress up pictures and hide-n-go-seek ones! TOO cute! I'll need to check out that hair website you mentioned...Audrey's is starting to get a bit longer too. Maybe I'll be able to pull off some fun hair-dos also!

Gallant Family said...

Caysja is so funny. I loved all of her pictures. And I wish I had a girl to do all those cute hair dos with. I see cute little girls in our ward with hair like that. I wonder if they look at that same blog as you. Genius!!! Boys are fun though, and you don't have to stress out about doing their hair or nothin'. In fact, they don't even have to match or look "cute" to go out in public. It's great--really. Is it starting to get cooler down there yet? No snow here, but I'm sure it won't be long before we get some flurries. It just seems like winter ended :0(

She's adorable and totally precious. I love the TP closet one. It was good to talk to you last night!

Gooch Family said...

That girl is hilarious! I love having a girl too and Bella LOVES shoes already, I'm a little worried ;) Your little boy is in for a treat - he'll be stuck playing dress up with Caysja.

It is so fun to sneak a peak at your blog. I love your pictures and how much fun you are having being a mom. My favorite age for my kids was the "dress-up" age. It is ariot to see what they come up with!
