Pretty pretty princess

Baby girl got this beautiful dress from Grammy and Opa when she was born.  This is the first time she's worn it, so I wanted to take a picture. Unfortunately she was not cooperating, so I did not get a picture of her standing up.  The closest I got was her lying straight on her back.  =)  Silly girl.  This was her first day of nursery also, she is about 4 weeks early, but.... she is such a Momma's girl that I worried she would freak out if I just dropped her off and left next month, so I took her in for a few minutes to do a "test run." I left to help brother give the scripture in Primary, and when I came back to get her, she was having such fun that she didn't want to leave! The nursery leaders said she was doing fine and that I could leave her, so she spent two hours enjoying herself in nursery.  It was a bit of a relief.  She is old enough that she is just a distraction in Sunday School and Relief Society. She is bored, so she gets noisy and starts complaining.  She is such an opinionated little thing!

Pretty baby

I get stopped all the time by people who want to tell me how beautiful baby girl is. And she is. She is such a beautiful, delicate girl. She has a lot of personality, too. She is completely a Momma's girl, but she loves to flirt (as long as Mommy is holding her!) She already had a porcelain doll look to her, but since we got her ears pierced, she is the epitome of girly. I love it!

It's all about balance

Baby girl has gotten to be pretty good about sitting up by herself for long periods of time, but she always holds her arms up for balance. I love it, she looks so dainty and poised.

Photo shoot

With the boy, I made sure I got a "staged" portrait every month for his first year. I have been doing the same with baby girl, and it amazes me how similar they look. I know they have the same genetics, but they could be twins in their pictures. I had to put a bow on baby girl so that I could make sure I could tell their pictures apart! She was not very cooperative, and I was having technical difficulties with the camera, but I got some cute ones. She is growing so fast, I can't believe she is already 5 months old. She is such a sweet heart, too. She is a total Momma's girl. She doesn't really even like Daddy holding her, but she will ONLY tolerate it if she can still see Momma. I'm sure when she is a teenager she will prefer her Daddy but for now, I am enjoying the snuggle bug.
