Well, hello there

I'm surprised I even remember how to create new posts.

My where has the time gone? Oh yeah, I remember. Its been spent with my sweet beautiful funny devil-child. Does that make sense? No? Well let me explain. Westyn knows EXACTLY what to do to get what she wants. She will be the sweetest little girl on the planet, playing nicely and then all of a sudden when we are not responding to what she wants... no NEEDS, now, she freaks out. Like I'm talkin' throws a tantrum; arms and legs flailing on the floor, screaming, whining, the works. It's pretty hysterical really. But then when we cave in because we truly think she may hurt herself, she is perfectly fine. Like nothing happened. Oh joy, what is 2 going to be like? I'm not going to lie, she is a very difficult child but she is also so very perfect that I wouldn't trade her in for a mega millions win.

If I could just bottle up this little girl and show her to the world, I think there would be more happiness and humor. She's like this fireball of sunshine. I would have several more photos to share with you but unfortunately every time I take a picture of her she moves before I'm done because she wants to see. She says, 'See, See Mommy, See picture' So every picture I have from over the holidays is blurred because her face is moving out of the view to get a good look at nothing. And then she's dissapointed because the picture sucks.
Too much rambling nonsense, sorry. Needed a break from work and I thought I would say hello.


Taking a nap with my Dad at the Canal



Caught red-handed. We're probably bad parents for letting her climb on the countertops.



Again, another day, another climbing on the countertops.

It sounds to me like she has quite a bit in common with my Taylor. Her tantrums are priceless, but I must admit that at almost 3 I am there aren't that cute anymore. Oh and I am glad you are back.

CUTE post...as I can relate totally. Parker is an amazingly sweet "devil-child" as well. Who knew girls' terrible two's started at 15 months?!!!!

I really love that pic of Westyn and your Dad, priceless. We've been having a lot of tantrums lately, too-and I do the same thing, laugh at first and then get a little scared although I get scared because I think Calum is going to hurt US. Ha! Such a gorgeous girl! Miss you guys x

OH...she is so adorable Ash. Everyone tells me that you want a "spirited" child. I guess that means that this is payback and our little girls will be the fun crazy girls that drive us nuts! Addy started at 15 months and the bad news is that she is still throwing tantrums, they are just more verbal.....and she's 5. Hope to see you one of these dayS!
