Our big 1 year old has changed so much in the last 3 weeks. She has started walking full time. I really miss the crazy fast crawling she used to do! She is making the cutest faces at us, grins all the time showing all 4 teeth to perfection, and gets herself into the funniest places. She has a dear love for baskets at the moment, and she empties them out of their contents and then sits in them many times a day, much to the delight of her sisters, and the exasperation of her mother who has to put all the misplaced items back in the many baskets!!
She loves the puppy....mostly loves the puppy's toys and treats which she gleefully steals and gets so mad when the puppy takes them back.
One night while the rest of the family was watching a movie, I decided I'd had enough of Elin's mullet, and long thick bangs. I grabbed my scissors and tried to hold down a wiggly baby, while making swift snips to form a very botched first haircut. It was actually very good for my pride, as I'd always thought of myself as a bit of a pro when it comes to cutting hair.When I was finished,I was horrified to see what one innocent cut across Elin's bangs had become...A very thick, too short fringe..poor baby. I confessed to Ryan, who was not impressed!! and set about trying to camouflage a very bad too short hair cut..
Driving her favourite toy at the moment.
Here is the new "do" pig tails and bangs!!
More basket squatting.
This basket was way too tiny. When we heard her fussing we all ran in, and she was stuck! The big sisters couldn't stop giggling!!
Back to a bigger one..
That's when she noticed the tiny square black one in front of her...
Elin always is able to get us giggling with her antics, and always rewards us with a big smacking kiss when we ask her! We are so blessed to have her as the baby of our family,and watch her grow up under the watchful eyes of her 3 big sisters.
