She Climbs

Onto the couch, onto the coffee table...

Now what do I do?? LOL! She thinks it's hilarious, it's all she wants to do, and I'm afraid she's going to fall and break her neck. She thinks it's funny when I tell her to sit, and when she doesn't listen and I take her off of the object she is standing on, she just climbs right back up laughing the whole time. Thank goodness we have carpet, so at least if she does fall, there is a bit of cushion.

I'm just waiting for the day that she figures out how to get up to the dining room table...I'm sure it won't be long.

Jocelyn's Summertime Wishlist

I've got my eye on some cool outdoor toys that I think Jocelyn would enjoy. I found both on Craigslist, but unfortunately I found them a little too late and someone else had already shown interest. Our backyard will be so much more fun for Jocelyn with these in them!The Little Tikes Swingalong Castle

The Little Tikes Sand & Sea Play Table

Does anybody know of anything better or have one that they no longer use and want to sell?

The 1st Signs of Spring!

Jocelyn and I spent much of the past two days outside enjoying the warmer temperatures and the sunshine! Jocelyn really enjoys playing outside! Here are some pictures of my sunshine.

Giving me her confused look. "You take pictures here too?"

Laughing because I fell over. Wow, our grass looks horrible!

A Glimmer of Hope

It has gotten to the point that everyone (and I really mean EVERYONE) who sees Jocelyn asks the infamous question: "Where's your hair?" or makes a statement like, "My girlfriend's daughter didn't have any hair for a long time either." or "It always takes the girls the longest to get hair."

I knew the day when I would hear these statements was coming. I knew it before she was born. I didn't have hair for a long time, and when I started getting it, it wasn't the most flattering hair style you had ever seen. Jocelyn obviously takes after me in the hair department.

Me:

Mullet Central!

I think the question is asked so often because Jocelyn is walking and getting bigger, and she is starting to look "weird" being bald. 'Weird' isn't the right word. I don't think she looks weird. I think she is just as cute as she ever was. It's just that to everyone else, it seems that her hair (or lack of, I should say) is the first thing that everyone notices.

I know it will come. I obviously have a full head of hair now. It's pretty thick too. I will one day be able to buy cute little hair thingies and put Jocelyn's hair in pigtails and ponytails. Until then, this will have to do:

See, there is a little glimmer of hope that hair is in Jocelyn's future. Bring on the mullet!

Happy Birthday!
