Radio-Flying

For her birthday, Analie got the Cadillac of Radio-Flyer wagons.

This wagon is not messing around.  It has six different seat configurations (drawing table, snack tray, with friends, without friends, flatbed, etc…) storage caddies, cupholders, and a UV protectant shade.

And safety harnesses.

Since it was gorgeous weather, we decided to (finally) set the thing up today and go for a spin around the driveway.  Analie invited her BFF Maddie to come play wagons and ride in her swing.

First of all, let’s all just have a giggle over the size difference.  Analie and Maddie are one day apart.  On the growth charts, they’re about 80% apart.  (Analie is the bottom 10%, Maddie is top 10%.)  It hilariouses me every time I see it.

And is this child not CUTE?  I would totally give her spoonfuls of sugar but her mommy would kill me in my sleep if she found out.

Analie was munching on Bunnies (her current favorite snack – do not get between the child and her bunnies) and Cheerios as they rode around the yard.  I’m trying to get her bigger but it’s not working.

Poor Maddie looked like she was suffering the entire ride, but I think it was just too bright outside for her.  I giggle when I look at the pictures, though.

Am I a meanie?

She looks like one of those celebrities with their hands out to indicate, “Please, no pictures!”

Aaaaaaand then Maddie discovered that Analie had food.

I love Analie’s look of MOMMY, SHE IS TOUCHING MY BUNNIES!

There is no question as to what what Maddie wants.  And also no question that Analie doesn’t want to share her bunnies.  (Just look at those selfish, pursed lips.)

Poor girl.

Look at my child’s gloating face…

Maddie was ready to be done with the wagon after 15 minutes or so, and then she got to experience…THE SWING.

So cute.

I love babies in swings.  They have this look of WOAH!  LIFE IS SO AWESOME! all over their faces; I just wish I could bottle it up and store it for rainy days.

When Ana’s swinging she always looks like her head is going to pop off from all her pressurized excitement.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to stay like that forever?

Bathing Cutie

Analie loves to go in the bathroom these days.  Because in the bathroom are all kinds of delightful treats like tooth brushing!  and hand washing!  and bathtime!

Oh, and there’s the washcloth drawer that I let her empty.  She loves that too, maybe more than all the other stuff combined.

While in the bath, we let her brush her teeth which, I KNOW, is probably some kind of safety hazard.  Especially since she loves to lean down to the water, submerge her face and inhale.

So then she comes up sputtering with a toothbrush in her mouth.

And she thinks it’s hilarious.

She also learned to pull up onto her knees a few weeks ago, which I think is so cute.  Her tiny little arms gripping the tub ledge, soft rolls of chunk still visible.  I hate that she’s losing her baby chunk.

I need to feed her more marshmallows or something.  (Wait, that’s the wrong kind of chunk.)

Ana got a squirty flower bath toy for Christmas, and it’s her current favorite thing in the bath.

I’ve been squirting it at her since she got it, and a few weeks ago she figured out how to refill it with water and squirt herself.

And what, you ask, is her favorite thing to squirt?

Her face.

OF COURSE!  (When I squirt it at her face she opens her mouth and tries to catch and swallow as much as possible.  It’s the most hilarious thing.)

As soon as the flower runs out of water she always looks at it, with her face dripping wet, like WOW THAT WAS SO AWESOME!

Then she fills the flower back up with water and does it all over again.

And that is why you can’t give this child a bath without full body waders on.  She takes bath time by the horns and shows it who is BOSS.

Joie de vivre.
