1.5 and 3.5 years old

My sweet friend snapped some pictures of us playing at the Seattle Waterfront and I couldn't think of a better way to get this blog (and my camera) going again. Thank you, Gina, for capturing these for us!

The sun is out and it is maybe 57 degrees so time to break out the Popsicles. 

Juliet's family (plus the Smiths).

 

I just can't get enough hats for James. Thanks, Pauli!

 

Halloween got kicked off with a party at James' Little Gym and luckily B was still in town so we got to enjoy some of the holiday together.

James was the cutest little pumpkin (worn also by Sadie and Stella) and Juliet (for this activity) was a strawberry (I believe Stella's previous costume).

 

 

 

Later in the week we got bundled up and went to West Seattle's Fall Festival for the children's parade and some trick-or-treating.



 

For Juliet's school party and Halloween she wore her beloved butterfly costume. I tried my best to convince her otherwise (I was trying to do little red riding hood and a wolf or matching superman/superwoman costumes), but when she tried them on she looked as though her little heart was breaking (her lip quivered as she said, "But it's not pink or purple.").  I finally caved, returned the other costumes and ordered her purple butterfly costume.

 

 

She even requested to sleep in the costume!

 

 

Juliet asks for her favorite song at least 20 times a day. Mostly in the car because that is where we always hear it, but now that she knows I can pull it up on demand at home I am getting more and more requests. James even recognizes the song and starts to dance. He also can roar now, although sadly that isn't on the video.

I found some pretty important pictures I have yet to post, so here goes...

Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet, gentle, bright, generous, adorable girl!
