Trin Holds Her First REAL "Babydoll"...

*To my friend, Michelle, her brand new infant is quite different from a babydoll...but to Trin, they are one and the same. :) Last night we had the opportunity to visit with Michelle and her family for a bit, and Trin was ecstatic to be able to hold an adorable "babydoll" for the very first time. She was patting Greyson's little tummy and head, and she kept waving and saying, "Hi Babydoll!" ***Thanks a million, Michelle, for the picture.***

A couple quick funnies...

As we all know, children are full of "funnies." They come up with some of the funnies comments, and my daughter is not outside of the "funnies" circle. These are her "funnies" from today...

Funny #1

(Let me set the stage for you...) We pulled up to the McDonald's drive-thru, and as I was placing my order, I heard her little voice from the back seat say, "Hi! Coconut coffee with cream and sugar please." Since I was speaking at the same time, half of me didn't really hear what she said, while the other half was too stunned to believe that what I heard actually came out of her mouth. So when I asked her to repeat herself she said, "Coconut coffee with cream and sugar please." Okay, yes, I know I go to Dunkin' Donuts entirely too much, but let this be a lesson to those who are still not convinced...that children really do pick up on the things you say...and they repeat them!!!

Funny #2

We left McDonald's and were heading home...I turned around and saw that Trin had untied both of her shoes (she knows this is a no-no). I said to her, "Trin...you know you're not supposed to untie your shoes. Why did you untie your shoes?" She said, in the calmest voice I might add, "No...No...No...I didn't take them off." I replied, "I see that you didn't take them off. But you untied them. Why did you untie your shoes?" She said, with a question, "Sorry???" I had to turn away so that she wouldn't see me smile.

Trin's Easter Egg Hunt (from Gram)...

*Gram decided to give Trin her own personal Easter Egg Hunt this year...she diligently filled 60 eggs with candy. The first night (pictured below), my Mom hid 12 of the eggs. Trin really got into it and was so excited when she saw the prizes inside. The second night (tonight), my Mom hid 12 more. With my parents leaving tomorrow morning to go back home (sniff, sniff), CJ and I have 36 more eggs to hide for Triniti. She'll be good and ready for the "city wide" Easter Egg Hunt in another week or two, huh?!?

***Pardon Trin's bare legs below.*** :)





*Trin is in love with her "Easter-Bunny-Donald Duck" that she got from Gram and Pappaw. It sings and waddles/walks, and if you pick it up by its ears, Donald scream, "Put me down!"




*More Easter gifts in a pretty pink basket...


*Mmm...Fruit Snacks...a staple food in Trin's diet...


*An Easter Bunny cup...

*And the Easter Egg Hunt...




*The first video is of Trin's new Donald-the-Easter-Bunny...


*The second video is of Trin on her hunt for Easter eggs...

Happy 2nd Birthday Triniti!!!

*Triniti thoroughly enjoyed her second birthday. From the time she woke up until the time she went to bed, we celebrated! I lost count, but I'm sure we sang "Happy Birthday" to her at least a dozen times (and she sang to herself at least the same).

*We started off the day with balloons...
























*On to the presents...



















*After presents (and a much needed nap), we took Trin to Build-a-Bear for the first time. She chose a monkey as her animal...













*Back home with all of her birthday presents...


*Maxine (her new monkey) and her American Girl Bitty baby twins...

*Last but not least...her second cake (a Coldstone ice cream cake)...










*We put an "ooh ooh aah aah" monkey sound in her monkey, so the pictures below are of Trin imitating the sound...



*I took several videos today (and my Dad captured Trin singing "Happy Birthday" to herself. Check back soon for those videos)...
