Gu = BFF

Sierra definitely has a BFF. I put several different stuffed animals in her crib when she was younger and she bonded with one more than the others (although she does love all of them and gives them frequent hugs).

We have always referred to this little bear as Osito, for "little bear" in Spanish. Sierra knows exactly who we're talking about, but she prefers to call him (and every other bear - real, drawing, etc.) "Gu".

no clue where that came from, but Gu is her BFF!

in the past few weeks she has been really into dressing Gu and putting diapers on and off him. for months she has been sharing her water and milk with him, but now we have trouble getting her dressed and out the door because she wants her clothes and shoes to go on Gu. it's actually quite hilarious, but can add some time to getting ready now that i am often dressing 2 kids!

another much bigger bear (also Gu), can be found most days in just a diaper - he is a little too big to fit in Sierra's clothes!

enjoy the pics  :)

pigtails!!!!

i am soooo excited that Sierra's hair is getting longer and we've been able to sport some very tiny pigtails in the last week! she also seems to be getting some curls/waves in the back. she is so cute and so sweet!!!

Converse

after an unsuccessful search in nashville for some baby converse shoes, i found a pair at my current favorite resale shop close to home!! and they were WAY cheaper than a new pair and look brand new!

i just can't get enough of them - sierra looks so adorable wearing them!!! although with all the lacing and unlacing, i can't guarantee that they will be the shoe of choice most days - especially when we're rushing out the door and sierra gives me only 5 seconds of being still to get both shoes on her!!

you've gotta see this...

 don't you just want to squeeze those legs?!?!?! that's one of the best parts of my day  :)
