Finished Product "Lola's Tree"

Lola really did a great job decorating the tree. She knew exactly what to do with the ornaments....I went out a bought a fresh tree after Lola came home singing "jingle bells" i thought i could get away with not decorating this year...thinking she was too young.....wrong!!!. Lola often speaks of herself in the third person and calls the tree, "Lola's Christmas Tree" of course she thinks everything is hers...We had a great night decorating and looking forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Family.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Say Cheese Gorilla

unfortunately i wasnt able to catch lola having a full conversation with the Gorilla, but at some point she did tell him to say cheese. it was hillarious!!

A day at the zoo

Lola really enjoyed the afternoon at the zoo. She talked to all of the animals and even told the gorilla to say cheese. What a day...

1, 2, 3,

Lola can count to 10 and w're working on 10-20...she's a big camera shy but ....actually im not sure if it's camera shy, or she knows the camera is rolling and she does not want to perform for mommy....i'll keep trying.

we are working on the abc's...but i think lola might be a bit camera shy. she's normally singing her abc's. twinkle twinkle little star, row row row your boat, and her new fave is frere jacque. i'll try to catch her in the act.... so there will be more to come.

Lola in her sling

Lola took a bit of a spill last week and as a result has to wear this shoulder sling. She was in pain for a couple of days but she's running around now like she doesnt have a broken bone in her body.

The meaning of Easter.

We had a lovely morning with Grandma Stevens at Church, and Lola seemed to really enjoy herself. After a long nap Lola and I had a little chat about Christ and why Easter is so important.

Happy Birthday Mommy

Big Ball, Little Ball

Lola's vocabulary is getting bigger and bigger, and she is starting to repeat EVERYTHING, so we really have to watch what we say. and mommy has to clean up her potty mouth. Her Aunty-Cousin Via tought her the difference between a big ball and a little ball. Lola was able t repeat them both.
