- Loves seeing herself in the mirror and being thrown in the air
- Very ticklish (just like her sister)
- Has to be held 90% of the time
- Does the cutest growl when I pick her up from daycare/Grandma's
- Just moved to 9 month clothes because she's too tall for 6 month clothes
Indie LOVES princess dresses (have I said that before). First thing she does when she gets to Grandma's is put on a dress and has it on until we make her take it off to leave.
Naptime essentials for Indie: princess pillow, this blankie, and at least one stuffed toy.
My heart melts at the love these two have for each other
I had to take a day trip to Las Vegas for work to help with a tradeshow. This was my first time using Uber and it took a little figuring out and nervousness as I had to rush from the airport to the show, but I got it down. Dad is down there often for work and I knew he had said not long ago that he had a work trip there coming up so I texted him and lo and behold we were flying out around the same time. Because security took so long for him, he had to run to my terminal because I had to board my plane soon. How sweet it was he did that to give me a hug and only see me for 5 minutes. Adam was fabulous and played the single working dad part today. They went out to dinner, because that's what dad's do best :) I think one of Indie's faves: "Chicky-fil-a"
Having not seen Indie much this week with work, she (and I) was needing some mommy-daughter time. This girl loves to cook and is getting better at helping every time. She now can take off and put the lid on the mixing bowl by herself (most every time). We made one of our favorites: chocolate chip cookies. She might have learned sneaking food in the kitchen from me. This time was my green smoothie. Not sure why, but she always likes my food better, even if it's the same thing I gave her.
We missed each other as well. Smiles and chat sessions to catch up with this one while her sister napped.
Indie had her first dentist appointment! We have a few books about going to the dentist that we've read leading up to this so she wouldn't be scared. She was excited for this train table and tv while we waited. The dentist called us back to a 4-chair room decorated like a forest where there were toothbrushes Indie could choose from. She couldn't decide between a Hello Kitty one and a purple one with sea creatures, so the dentist let her have both. Indie got to pick which chair, each with a stuffed animal, she wanted to sit on. She picked a chair with the alligator. The dentist showed her the different tools and how they work, and let Indie hold them. She was tentative but curious with all of this. Next she got on the chair and the dentist would have Indie help do the same thing to the alligator's teeth that she would do to Indie's teeth. One of these steps was counting her teeth; she has 16. Another was brushing her teeth. Indie wasn't sure about this but still sat back and white-knuckled the chair as the dentist worked. Between each step, Indie thought we were done and would go to hop down but sat back when realizing we weren't done. Finally the end came, though and she got to pick a prize (bubbles). So proud of our brave little girl in this scary new step in life.
Indie has gotten more into drawing and did this beautiful piece for me.
Yet another measurement session, this time adding (L-R) Luca Johnson (6 months), Zayne Jennings (5 months), and Christian Taylor (4 months). They were all little grabby hands with each other and moving all over...I'm amazed we got some decent snapshots!
It was a little cold but we wanted to get out so we took the girls to City Creek. This was their first time exploring around. We thought Indie would love the stream with fish through the mall, but wasn't as impressed as we thought at first, but eventually shouted about the fish. Next we walked over the bridge and wanted to get a cute picture of the girls, but our little stinker Indie would not quit moving. Not sure where she gets her teasing from HA.
