Braska: Swaaaiiiiiiiiiing!

I just love to swing.  And when I want to go outside and play on my swing, I tell Mommy really loud! "A-side! Swaaaaiiiiing!" That's what I did today.

First we went to church, of course...that's what Sundays are for, you know. I wore a new outfit from Miss Linda from Daddy's work.  She's so nice!

(Pssssst...don't tell Mommy I told you, but I wore this outfit last week too when we were at PaPaw's church for Daddy's Day.  Mommy doesn't like for me to wear things two Sundays in a row, but since we were at different churches, it was ok.  Just don't tell that I spilled the beans!  Here's a couple pictures from last Sunday at Grandma C's house.)

Daddy took my Sunday pictures today since Mommy was getting dressed and was in a hurry.
 

Me and KiKi both smiled for Daddy.  Mommy was surprised!


I got a picture of me with Miss Carrie and Miss McKenna today.  They're my friends at Sunday School and they take very good care of me.


After church, we went to the store and came home.  I got in some play clothes and we all went outside since it was a nice day.  It's been so HOT at our house for the last few days!  Today was much better, so we could go out for a little while.

Mommy said I look all grown up.  I do! I'm a big girl! I'm 2!


Since it was so nice, when I asked Mommy to "swaaaaiiing!" she said we could!
 


Tonight KiKi tried out one of my old toys.  I told her how to do it.  She liked it alot.  Maybe she'll put up some pictures on her page.

It was a pretty good day!  I like when it's not so hot outside!  And I LOVE to swaaaiiiinng!

Distraction dancer

Sunday mornings at church are Braska's special time with Daddy. She sits with him, he holds her during the music and she dances like a crazy girl when the band gets going and claps right along with everyone else. She always attracts attention from those around, and sometimes I feel like she's gonna burst with excitement. Speaking of which, we could use a bit more of that at church, couldn't we?!

Anyway, this week, like most others, she was having a ball. One lady directly behind us played with her, waved at her, and when we sat down for the sermon, she played little games with her. She'd put her hand on the back on the chair, and Braska would push it away and smile. Over and over. (I hope she is a multitasker, because it was a really great message, so I'd hate for her to have missed anything.) Braska usually falls asleep for part of the quieter parts, and then wakes at the end to dance a little more before we go. I haven't figured out a way to discreetly video this fun...but I sure want to. It's the most animated she gets, and it's no wonder people are drawn to the giggles, wiggles, and smiles. Each week after church, as we leave, we always have at least 3 or 4 people come over to mention that they were watching her and just loved seeing her dance and cuddle with Daddy. I see it as a nice way that she makes people smile on a Sunday morning.

To hold you over...here's this Sunday's fashion pic before church. It's one of my favorite new outfit combinations. Ralph Lauren and BabyLegs with a side of Old Navy and Gymboree shoes. Can't beat it!
