The past couple of weeks, I’ve been dragging Hunter on errands instead of finding something fun for us to do together. So yesterday, we took a trip to the Mitchell Park Domes. Fun! Warm! And pretty inexpensive!
Does anyone know how much my children love their nukies? I promise Hunter’s the only one left with one, but I have to admit … even now, when the older girls are having a hard time with something {crying or whining}, I so want to stick a nuk in their mouths!
In the photo above, Hunter ‘stole’ a nuk out of the diaper bag, and quickly turned around to look at the flowers … all while covering her mouth to hide her nuk. I tend to be a little more lenient with the whole pacifying thing … but daddy, not on board so much. So this hand-over-the-mouth maneuver is what she does when she hears dad coming.
I think it’s kinda cute. I also think I want my baby to stay a baby a while longer. Is that so wrong? We just potty trained her and the nuk will be next to go … I promise!
And I love this next photo. She was being such a fun ‘subject’ for me today! There were a series of photos I took where she’s laying down on the bench with her head in her hands … I had her nuk sitting at the front of the bench and told her she could have it if she let me take a few photos. She patiently posed while her nuk patiently waited.
Then she made a beeline for it!
Have I mentioned I’m a stroller freak? I actually posted about it once here. I don’t know what I’ll do when my baby outgrows her stroller. I don’t think I could actually part with any of my strollers, so I may need to start borrowing babies?
And lastly, a little collage of our day. Hunter is a treasure to be with and she’s so good! She patiently let me take photos … she even did Me Ra’s ‘fake laugh’ for me!
I love you baby …

I love you baby …
Precious! Keep her a “baby” as long as you can!!!!!!
Love, love, love the great pic of her crawling toward her nuk. Great capture!
Keep her little, til her carter’s wear out! That was a commercial, in case you don’t remember.
I would too try to keep her a baby as long as possible!

I couldn’t agree with you more! Keep them little as long as you can and that includes the “binkies” (as we call them) or “Ahhhs” (as Zach would call them.) I guess that is the way they make him feel “Ahhhhhhhhhh”. Hey, maybe I need one of those!Love the photos!
I love these! My baby’s 7 mos and starting to turn into a person. It’s so bittersweet. Also love the collage…how do you do that? Don’t tell me it’s really easy on your mac?!
