Looking at this face:

You may think that she's an angel.
You may believe that she would never do anything wrong.
You may believe that she would never:
  • strip her diaper off 20 times a day...whether it's "loaded" or not
  • use her legs as a canvas for four different shades of highlighter
  • eat diaper rash cream or hand soap
  • unbuckle her seat belt in the car...while it was moving
  • escape out the garage while I was feeding the baby, and make it all the way up to the park
  • pull a dozen dvd's out of their cases and use them as frisbees
  • wake up for no apparent reason several times a night for the last two weeks
  • climb on the piano to empty the candy dish
  • scratch her baby brother on the face...intentionally
  • escape out the back door while I was nursing the baby, and make it all the way up to the park...again
If you thought that...you would be wrong. She has done all of those things (and more)...since Cru was born.

Thankfully, she has also done some adorable things...like:
  • bringing her baby brother blankets, and making sure that they don't cover his face
  • crying, "Go for walk, I get shoes!" every time her daddy walks in the door
  • saying "Mmmmmm, tasty" after every bite of food she eats. Every.single.bite.
  • feeding her baby doll...just the way I feed Cru...if you know what I mean!
  • reading the book, "No, David!" over and over...with the words memorized. I think she relates...

Oh, I believe it all right... but she's still pretty darn cute. I think she and Easton may be soul mates the last couple of weeks!

she is an angel...just a little different than your normal definition, but an angel all the same!

Sounds like it's time to invest in child locks for your doors! And, don't worry. It always gets better :)

Sounds like she is enjoying some newfound freedom that's come as a result of you being tethered down and feeding Cru...
She is a little cutie though. I think it's great she's always ready to go on a walk with Daddy.

Oh my goodness she looks JUST like a Snyder in that last picture! Don't you think? BTW, let's keep her and Lily apart...I don't want to know what those two minds could think up together:). So cute. Don't you love the mischieviousness...just a little? Maybe in a few years...

Ahhh...good times!

Oh the joys of a new baby when you have another one not too much older. I think that's why I want to wait until Jacyn get's a little older so HOPEFULLY I can skip that stuff from her, but you never know. She's super cute though, love those pictures.

Sounds like you have an escape artist on your hands! Good luck with that!

She looks so different all of the sudden! (More grown up.) Why is it that as soon as a new baby is born, the "old baby" suddenly looks like a big girl (or boy).

It's sounds like life has been fun since Cru was born. It's not enough for him to wake up in the night. Kate wants to steal your sleep too! I hope it gets better--very quickly!

She's such a doll. That makes her easier to forgive!

Little stinker! Hopefully she'll get used to little brother VERY soon. Hugs!
