it's no secret that before bennett was born, i wanted a boy. no secret at all & i so enjoyed having a sweet baby boy to snuggle with. when we announced our happy little surprise 19ish months ago, everyone wanted a baby girl. i never really vocalized what i wanted; i think i honestly didn't care...i had my boy that i so wanted & spent the first part of my pregnancy getting use to the idea of a new baby!
when we learned that pailyn was a girl i immediately began thinking clothes, hair, shoes, accessories! and of course i spent a ton of prayer time praying for her health followed closely by the request that she be as beautiful as her big brother :o)
all that to say...oh how i have enjoyed having a little girl! she's so girly! she carries herself like a girl-oh at the girly hand gestures! she has her daddy's heart like only a little girl can have it. she screams like a girl. she's obtained the nicknames 'drama queen' and 'princess' because of her girly ways.
and she looks adorable in each and every outfit, dress, accessory, and pair of shoes i put on her :o) ...i played with dolls & barbie until i was old enough that i knew it wasn't cool anymore...i'm enjoying having my own babydoll to dress up!
that brings me to christmas sunday :o) she was a real live babydoll in her dress. see for yourself!
a quick snap before the fabulous car-seat wrinkle set in! her daddy had to come assist hold her in place so i could get a shot of miss busy-body-can't-stand-still for even one second.
after a fabulous christmas program by our choir and a nap, we headed outside for a couple with the big brother. heather preformed at church and wasn't dressed for pictures, so here are just the little two.
she's not good & awake just yet i'm afraid, so mr. bennett does a little wake up performance, and gets a classic roo response...
to which he replies to with a classic ben response.
this one...not anything stellar, but i'll take it...you see above what i'm working with, right?
i know...sweet :o) after he did this i told him he was free to go & he went.
and she watched him go...
and she didn't like it.
and she showed her girly drama-queen self. and right now, while it's manageable...i love it :o)
