Princess Pics

Over the weekend, I had a little fun with my camera. I got my wedding dress out and took some shots of our daughter in it.

(I'm a horrible bride-it's been 7+ years and I STILL haven't had my dress professionally cleaned/preserved...but I will...soon...) 

This is why having a daughter is fun...makes her first sentence, "I'm mad at Mommy" so much easier to deal with.

Our Doll

Yesterday I got a package in the mail that I had been eagerly anticipating. It was the headbands I ordered for baby girl and I. Pink feathers on a stretchy headband for the girl and white feathers on a thin white metal band for me. I had ordered them from Two Little Wrens on Etsy.


Honestly it was a little like Christmas when I saw that the package had arrived. I threw on the first dress that matched her new pink headband and stepped outside to take pics. I was so excited! Unfortunately, the boy was wearing pajama pants when I stepped outside and because apparently he knew not to go outside in PJs, he took them off and put shoes on, nothing else, just shoes. Yup. He stepped outside wearing nothing but his Buzz Lightyear underwear and a pair of crocs. Since we were in the front yard and that's not how we roll, I had to redirect him inside and upstairs to his room to get some real clothes on. He came back out in a pair of jeans that were at least two sizes too small and on backwards but my window for pics with the girl is always so small, I didn't care. While he rode his tricycle in front of our house, I got to play with our little doll...


Here she is......

Girly-ness

I wouldn't necessarily say it took having a daughter for me to fully embrace all things girly but it certainly hasn't hurt. 

Tonight has been full of fun girly-ness. First, one of my favorite friends had her gender ultrasound today and they found out they're having another girl! Super excited for her!

Then, since I was in a "retail therapy" sort of mood, I bought the CUTEST hair accessory for our little princess from an awesome Etsy seller.

(this is the one I bought)

(this is the seller's image of what it looks like on a baby that might just be the second cutest baby I've ever seen)

Of course, now I have to post a pic of my little princess because she is the cutest baby ever (my apologies to our son but really...I'm not wrong)...

(this was her at the pediatrician last week...it's a cell phone pic so it's not the best but don't you just want to snatch her up!!!...don't even think about trying to though because her big brother will take you out)

Since I was buying something fun for the girl, I went ahead and bought one for me too and decided to coordinate with my little girl...

(it's a bit hard to tell with the background being white too but the headband itself is much thinner than the baby one so I can curl my hair and have it down or put it up)

Can you say homecoming ceremony?

Eeek.

Ok. In related girly news, my favorite blogger (and one of my favorite real life friends) JG from Me and My Soldierman posted an AWESOME response to that ridiculous pic going around facebook of the Disney Princesses and all the supposedly negative things they teach with her own version which I love and had to steal...
