Oh geeze Eloise. I need to catch up on my blogging! Well, here is a sweet something for your Bla Bla (and I’m not just talking about the dolls) Thursday. My darling dear baby girl turned one on August 12th and she woke up to tons of hugs and kisses…and giant balloons that were left over from her birthday party. Yup, she totally “woke up like this” (minus the bow). If you are one of my lovely instagram followers, then you know that I love dressing my daughter in a mix of thrifted vintage girly dresses like the one here along with a few items from trendy stores and etsy shops too. The best part of these photos is since the background is the same in each image, her personality really shines throughout. She’s sweet, playful, bashful, and totally speaks through her facial expressions. I can’t even say how blessed I feel to have her in my life. She brightens up each hectic little moment, like when we are all trying to get ready in the morning and “brother” decides he wants to serve his own milk (ever so slowly might I add) and as he’s pouring milk from this ginormous Almond milk carton, his cup slips off his table so it gushes all over him, the table, and floor. Aye, Aye, Aye! The crying begins,the frustration sets in and he plays the blame game. “Mommy, see I told you graham crackers and milk is better with chocolate milk.” Like somehow he thinks that adding chocolate to his least favorite drink would have prevented the spill. Ya, and this is just a little over three minutes of what spirals into a whole morning of madness. Yet, after all of this, she just bats her pretty big eyes and I melt. Then I remember we are only on this earth for a short time and the three minute tantrum is not worth the battle. I have them and they have me-that’s all that matters each and every day. So happy almost Friday everyone!
