Babies, Princesses, Cars, Beaches oh my!

Maybelle is like, a little girl now.  Like a real little girl.

Crazy how they are a baby, and then you glance and it catches you off guard, and right before your eyes you realize the baby is a toddler.

She is exploring the world around her.
I'd say, as far as disposition, she is a mix between Amaryllis and Kensington.

She is a good "early" communicator and curious like Amaryllis.
She is cuddley and a silent observer like Kensington was.

She LOVES her sisters.

She is very patient with them usually, they will be upstairs in Kensingtons room for HOURS lately, and they are all just playing and who knows what is going on (remember, avoid eye contact and they will entertain themselves).

Here is good ole Cutter man, finding the ULTIMATE place to hide in a game of hide and go seek.

Some park afternoons are more successful than others.

I vaguely remember snapping this picture to remember how this particular afternoon was unsuccessful and the kids were literally hen-pecking at us (especially Kelly, keeper of the food).

The big girls were in heaven when they got invited to a Frozen bday party.

Elsa showed up (cousin of hostess) and I'm still finding it funny that both my girls really truly believe it was Elsa.  They were just chatting away, and Kensington kept inviting Elsa over for a playdate and asking if she could come see her room (why are their rooms so important to them? Funny.)

January and February are the best beach months!

These two gals have a cute friendship.
Love/hate at times.  But always there for each other when it matters.

This was such a great little memory for me:

I'm sad to see this beloved gokart leave her family.
Tear.
Let's be honest.  Without this car, I probably never would've gone out with Jake, HAAAA!

Another phase of model homes opened in our neighborhood.

Would I be a complete weirdo if I snuck over during naptime, and just, like watched some TV in the model homes? Took a nap? A nice bubble bath in the ginormous tub?

Pardon me if I've shared this photo. But little boy Jake is just darling.
