small style #51

Isla is having the most cute days lately.

she is saying so much,

she has started saying: "k mommy" when i ask her to do something

she also will say: "please mommy"

which i just love.

look at how big this girl is:

how can this one be from just a year ago?

she looks like an entirely different child!

pretty much 1 year and a few days from today!

what the what.

little baby is getting big.

this is where miss Isla started:

seriously,

little baby...

where did you go?

wee Isla, 

not so wee anymore.

boo hoo hoo.

small style #49

we're working on the 'no' around here

lately, a lot of questions or requests by mommy or daddy is met with a très whiny "NO!"

this morning, trying to get a picture of my sweet Isla,

was met with many not so sweet nos

{no!}

ah well,

we are working on them.

so far time outs on the stairs seem to work fairly well.

{no!}

{maybe?}

needless to say,

we did not get a picture of her full outfit.

shirt: Joe Fresh, gift

diaper shirt: Carter's, consigned

jeans: Mexx, consigned

sure glad that we have lovely happy times in between the nos :)

Isaac and Isla

Isaac and Isla

little kindred friends from the start 

(mostly partly because their mommas made them be)

but they have an authentic little friendship that will be fun to watch as it grows

this is Isaac and Isla 2 weeks ago at our All Nations Church Sunday morning meeting.

they are both on Maryann's lap.

{altogether now: "aaaawwwwwww"}

this is them last Sunday before the meeting started,

sharing snacks,

Isla is usually not a good snack sharer unless she is the one being shared with

{let's put our heads together}

{not talking}

{Isla finally sharing}

{can you see that this is an action shot? that little orange fish is flying through the air, not sitting on her dress}

{best little buddies}

these 2 crack me up, 

they play rough, 

and often get a little miffed with each other,

but they are always so happy to see each other and give each other the biggest hugs upon greeting :)

small style #48

we had some more sunny weather on Sunday,

which makes sense (sun-day... hee hee)

Isla has been loving the pigtails ever since Kattie did them last week.

this afternoon we did some strollin'

and then after i had some major disobeying/running away/yelling "NO"

we went inside and Isla played with Josh.

she calls him "Shosh"

don't ask me, she can say SH and TH but i guess J is confusing?

cute, aren't they?
(i like how they are both rocking the sailor look)

sweater: Joe, consigned

dress/shirt: unknown, thrifted

leggings: Gap Kids

socks: Old Navy

shoes: PediPed, with a big Groupon savings!

i promise at some point i will do some posts other than small style!
but for now, we've been busy,
working on some things,
saving for some things,
and trying to rest in between :)

small style #47

whew!  

47, can you believe?

Isla is getting so big,

and so much fun to be around,

she does also however throw some tantrums that are not so fun to be around!!

she has also turned into a true blondie now.

hard to believe she was born with almost black hair!

this morning she came to me with these little pony tail holders that her daycare provider had put in the day previously and kept pulling on her hair.

so i put pigtails in for her again, just like Kattie had done.

wouldn't you know it, first time she stood still while i did her hair.

i guess she likes to impress Kattie! 

her daddy picked out this outfit,

minus the shoes, mommy picked the shoes :) 

long sleeve shirt: Joe, consigned

onesie(underneath): Carter's, bought by Gramma Kiki

jeans: Old Navy, borrowed

socks: Old Navy

shoes: unsure, borrowed
