I have a good reason?

Alright....so I have been absent from the blogging world for about 2 months now... It wasn't on purpose...Everything just happened all at once and I couldn't seem to get caught up on everything else enough to just sit down and blog.  Well here is why....School, work, cleaning house, and the main one...I have been spending a lot of time with a certain little girl who gets into EVERYTHING and is becoming more independent by the second! 

She loves helping me do the laundry, and the dishes, and pick up toys...and while the help is nice it slows me down quite a bit to have each piece of clothing pulled out of the washer and put into the dryer one by one. :)

However, it is too cute to not let her help!

Helping Mom unload the dishwasher!

She Loves climbing into and up anything that can be climbed. :)

She has started wanting to dress herself, and feed herself.

 We are currently working on manners :)

So while all these things are keeping me on my toes, trying to save her from falling off the stool, stop her from throwing food on the floor, emptying her drawers, taking off her clothes, and unfolding and dragging clean and dirty clothes down the hall etc.  Most of all I am just glad that I get to spend some serious quality time with this girl! It may not always be productive... as you can see... 

 but she is a pretty fun little buddy to have...

...

I hope I am still her favorite in November.......

Because this little girl is going to be the big sister to a new little addition in our family.... :)

Due November 29th, 2011

....that might be part of the reason I have been running a little behind schedule too. ;)
