Me and My Zaylee

Zaylee and I took some fun pictures together. I was trying to get some good shots of myself when she climbed up on my lap to join in the fun. Here's the results:

Look, Mommy - a camera!

Here Zaylee looks like a little angel - so sweet!

I love her expression in this one. She looks so surprised, though I'm not sure why.

Of course, since my original intent was to get pictures of myself, here's one of me - one of the few of just me that actually turned out okay, even though it ended up being a touch blurry.

Next time I decide to take pictures of myself, remind me to put on a bit of foundation or something - gotta cover up that blotchy complexion! Is it just me, or does my hair look a tiny bit red in these pictures? Especially the last one. Weird.

Although, William does give hugs that wrap around my neck, and just warm my heart even if I am cranky that he wants held....again...; June 17, 2008 at 11:18 PM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
