Just to be on the Safe Side...

Lorelei and Spencer were playing in the den when suddenly my mommy-sences were triggered and I sneak in to check on them. I find this:

Lorelei takes the opportunity to say that it was good that I came in because now she would "be more safe" while getting down. Clever. Being the ever-so responsible parent that I am, I made her stay there while I got the camera.

Here's What You've Missed

Lorelei gave up her paci's last summer while vacationing in Oscoda

She got a big girl bed

She had a fabulous Ugly Baby themed 3rd birthday party

Slippers

It's impossible for Lorelei to wear a new item of clothing without her asking for me to take her picture. Here she is, absolutely loving the reindeer slippers that Nana & Papa got for her.

Deep Thoughts

On observations:
This conversation between Lorelei and Ashton occured on January 31st.
L: (looking around) Where's the Christmas tree?
A: We threw it out.
L: Awww. I miss my big Christmas tree.

On size:
Chadd made a comment on how big Lorelei was getting and she said, "No, I'm a little girl." I said, "You're a little cute." She replied, "No. I'm big cute."

Lorelei can throw some pretty huge fits for such a tiny creature. Most of the time I have no idea what the fit is even about. But I have to give her credit. When she gets too upset and has no idea what to do with herself, she goes to her room and crawls up into her chair. That's what happened here. She was super upset about who knows what (sometimes I think that she doesnt' even know what she's upset about) and ran screaming to her room. I peeked in on her to see that she was ok and I went back to making dinner. It got quiet pretty quick so I went back up to check on her and she was out. She got her paci's out of her bed and rocked herself to sleep. I had to take these pictures because when she's sleeping, she doesn't look at all like the fire-spitting demon that first crawled up into the chair. Do I dare say that she actually looks angelic? Maybe I wouldn't go that far...

It's Electric!

Even a perfect haircut is no match for the almighty powers of static electricity. Ashton thinks this is a pretty hilarious phenomenon.

Just Call Me Bob

Lorelei finally reached a point where she had enough hair for a real haircut. It was time for the mullet to leave for good. We headed over to see Miss. Bridget and to find out what kind of miracle she could perform on my poor baby's head. I had no idea how Lorelei would react, she can be quite stubborn. However, she was an absolute angel! She sat very straight and still and studied every move Bridget made. She was really fascinated by the whole experience.

Here's the first cut:

She's generally afraid of the noise of hair dryers, but not today. There is no fear in the face of beauty:

A masterpiece! She likes to tell people, "I got a haicut. It's a bob."
