Body Painting by Abby

Today's art activity @ daycare was body painting. Abby had soooo much fun! Can't you tell?! HUGE thx to Ms. Sarah for catching this shot and letting me keep the picture. God bless the teachers for doing this & cleaning up this mess, she didn't look like a smurfette at all when I picked her up ;)

Pigtails & Artsplosure

It's a generally known fact, I have hair envy. Specifically envious of other mom's that could put a pigtail on their baby girl's hair. The last month or so I've been thinking Abby may need a haircut soon BUT this also delays chances for that pigtail I've been dying for. Its a Korean-American mommy's mantra to tightly pull a pigtail and stick it straight on top of her head.

Here's Abby's very 1st pigtail EVER! I was very pleasantly surprised, she did NOT yank it off her head like the bows, headbands, sunglasses, hats (getting the picture?!) basically everything I put on her head.


I'd dare to say she looks pleased her hair isn't flopping all over her face. This was only the 1st and she only kept it on for 10-15 mins till bedtime. We'll try it again in the morning.



This past w'end we went to Raleigh's Artsplosure. We went early so not to coincide with Abby's naptime. Too bad some of the (food) vendors weren't open when we got there. The gigantic catepillar was a tent that we climbed inside for a minute.


I'm a big fan of gecko's so naturally a friendly Geico Gecko was a terrific pic opp :)

Lil' Miss Buckethead

Abby loves to play with her baby lego blocks. What's even BETTER is the box the blocks come in. We once put it or the top on her head to see what she'd do. Now she just likes to put it on her head by herself. Even if there's blocks in it, it all just tumbles out while she gets the box on her head. It's pretty funny, if we put the top on our head, she comes by & takes it.

Ready, Set, Go!


and just like she likes it here's our Lil' Miss Buckethead :) Do you like her new polka-dot top? Granny made it! It goes with a pair of polka-dotted lime green pants.


We play a lot in our screened-in porch lately. She love love loves to go outside. Her favorite new thing is to go up & down on the one stair between the house & the porch.
