Kylie May's Vintage Day 160

It's hard to imagine a 5 month old doing anything vintage, but kids these days (it's so much fun getting to use "parental type sayings") just can't seem to help but humoring trends from the past.  Today Kylie took a page straight from Laura Ingalls Wilder and decided to travel back to her little house on the prairie.  The end result, was a camera filled with megabytes, and a red cheeked baby with a long night gown looking outfit on (the outfit actually belonged to Nat's grandma when she was a baby in 1918....Wow! Laura Ingalls who?).  Why the red cheek?  No. not makeup.  Sometimes the road to "in front of the lens" stardom is paved with hardwood floors that don't give when you bonk your face on them.  :-( the poor little one took a spill during her photos session, but, like a true professional she rose from the ashes (or was picked up off the hardwood floor) and finished the photo shoot without missing a beat. Really though, we are not overzealous photo parents that forced her to finish her pictures.  She actually had plenty of smiles left after her "incident"

Tonight, was once again Pizza making Night, which meant that Kylie was certain that she needed to stay up late to be a part of it.  I got her to sleep by 8 (with my chest puffed out like a proud peacock), only to have her wake up by 8:10. 8:30, 8:40, 9:00.... so much for mini "at home" date night.  The funny part is that she was talking (or squealing) up a storm when Nat and I went into the room to see her, but as soon as we picked her up and brought her to the kitchen she was quiet as a church mouse.  We thought, "maybe she's tired, lets put her back in bed"  the second she hit the sheets she started laughing, smiling, cooing, squealing, spitting.  That must have gone on for 20 minutes or more.  Moral of the story?  she just wanted to be laying in bed with Nat and I both in there with her.  she was ready for family party night.....she didn't last very long.  As I am typing this, her and Nat are sound asleep on the La-Z-Boy, just happy to be together.


more to come soon,
