1st Haircut

We took Mabel to get her very first hair­cut today. Her hair was begin­ning to resem­ble a mop, so mama want­ed to get it shaped a lit­tle. So off we went to mama’s hair­dress­er Jim who fear­less­ly dove right in and start­ed snip­pin’ away. I think she looks very cute — but I’m a lit­tle biased. 


Mabel is 15 months!

She is now 20 lb on the nose. Hooray! Tenth per­centile, baby girl! She is 29″, as well. Again, tenth percentile. 🙂

Mabel *loves* climb­ing the stairs. Again. And again. And…again.

Today, Mama put a chair in front of the stairs (sideways)–as she always does–to pre­vent Mabel from going up/down the stairs with­out me notic­ing. How­ev­er, today she real­ized she is quite capa­ble of mov­ing the chair her­self, the con­tin­u­ing to climb. Yikes!

Then, she kept try­ing to climb into her toy box (and falling and bang­ing her head). Mama thought, “hey! I’ll just pull out her favorite toys and close the lid!” Ummm, fail.


Mabel sleeps so soundly

Some­times it’s fun to sneak in and take a pho­to of Mabel. She is so peaceful.


Mabel and friends

Mabel’s got a few lit­tle bud­dies that she plays with week­ly. Eliz­a­beth is 6 months younger (Cheryl’s daugh­ter) and Lex­ie is 8 1/2 months old­er (Mandy’s daugh­ter). Both are pre­cious and Mabel loves play­ing with oth­er kids.

Mabel is play­ing on the learn­ing tow­er (at Lex­ie’s house). Mama is dying for Mabel to get a learn­ing tow­er. I’ve been to mul­ti­ple garage sales and stalked craig’s list. It’s the next thing on our pri­or­i­ty list. Mabel likes mama to hold her while bak­ing or cook­ing, so she can watch. The learn­ing tow­er will make life easier!


Mabel is becoming too smart

Mabel likes to use her wag­on to walk around the room. Some­times Dad­dy puts things in the wag­on, for a lit­tle scenery change. Mabel took a cue and decid­ed to put her­self in the wagon…all to put her­self taller, so she could pull every­thing off of Mama’s desk!
