A Catch-Up Post

August was incredibly busy and tiresome, so much that I didn't make one single blog post :( So here is one to catch-up:

 Jewel Bug is talking non-stop and very clearly now. She really thinks she is a big girl and can do everything by herself except when she is whiney and then she CAN'T do ANYTHING by herself!  She is also really pushing that boundary or disobedience, ughh, that is very frustrating :(  We have finally moved away from Mickey Mouse, don't get me wrong, she still loves all things Mickey, but we have reached out to Dora the Explorer, Cars, and Princess Belle.  Sweet girl loves to sing, and I love to listen to her!  Everywhere we go she notices the letter A and says, "A for Aylin!"  :) Because I had to go back to work, she is back with Nannie Chelle and friends M-TR; but she loves her Nannie Chelle, Becka, and all her little friends so that makes the adjustment a little easier.  Here she is with her Mary Claire:

She got a pet fish and named him Pete; Pete the Cat has recently become her favorite Mickey character?

She moved into the 2 year old classroom for Bible Class :)

She got her first haircut!

 She did so great!  She climbed up in the chair, loved her "big dress," and just let Kourtney cut away.  She evened out her hair and put a few layers in to help it grow.  The left side was longer than the right, but we are all the same length now :)

We had a paint night!  Every year the school I work for does a fundraiser called Square One Art.  The students make a work of art and this company creates anything you want them to with it.  Last year, I did Aylin's hand print with each dog's paw print, so this year I built on that:

 Above: what Aylin painted all by herself :) and below: Aylin's foot print, hand prints, fingerprints, Tessie's paw and Buttercup's paw :)

We had a COUSINS playdate!  Payton and Aylin were so funny!  They saw each other, ran to each other, and hugged each other!  I love the pic of Payton and Aylin taking turns pushing Macey Jo in the swing...CUTENESS!

Just recently, she changed her bedtime routine on us. She won't let us rock her anymore!  We use to read a few books and rock in her glider before saying our prayers and going to bed.  But now she goes straight to the crib and starts trying to climb in, gathers her loveys and says goodnight  :(  She is still in her crib simply because we decided this year Christmas will be all about getting her a new room. In fact, we actually purchased our 1st Christmas gift! I know, I know, I am always the last minute shopper but Target had a cute little bed-in-a-bag that I had been eyeing on sale so we got it :)

She will be using my old twin bed and her great-grandmother's dresser for now. The other things Santa and family will be bringing include a chair, dollhouse bookshelf, owl pillow, curtains, ceiling fan, blinds (the new room is the only room in the house we didn't put blinds on when we 1st moved in), and any other little thing that might look cute in there.

I'm going to end it here with my little monkey, there are still a few posts I haven't done yet, but they will need to wait for another day.
