Books, Babies and the Mouse

Where did my baby girl go? She's turning into a little lady so quickly! She's sweet and fiesty, cuddly and independent, a delightful (most of the time!) mixture of almost 2 year old sass, attitude and sweetness. Her favorites these days are in this order:
1. Mickey Mouse - Mickey has been the favorite for months now, as evidenced by the HOURS she spent watching mouse on the portable dvd player at mom's house over Christmas. We're on the lookout for more mouse dvds, but sadly the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dvds are somewhat limited. Is it sad that I have already pre-ordered the one that is coming out in May in hopes of something new? We've had lots and lots of cuddles with mouse playing in the background. Here she's in her favorite MIMI (Minnie) jams pointing out all the characters on her mouse pillow.
2. Babies...Sis received her first baby for her first Christmas over a year ago but didn't really pay attention to her babies until a few months ago. Now I am hard pressed to find her without one. Her favorite is a 1/2 naked baby that routinely gets dropped on her head. I think it will be awhile before she is babysitting.

3. Books - Calling these a favorite is a little bit of a stretch as she loves to hold them and cuddle them and scream loudly if her brother comes too close. Reading them is another story. Her favorite game these days is pulling my hand, pointing at me to sit in her room, going to get a book, backing into my lap and saying BOOK loudly. We open the book to read, and it is quickly slammed shut as she gets up and goes to get another book so the routine can be repeated. I love to sit and watch her during this game, wishing only that she'd spend a little more time in my lap!
So sweet...
Just a little bit of sass....
