First haircut

Brett has been wanting to cut Afton's hair forever but I kept saying no. I finally gave in and I'm glad I did. Afton's hair looks so much better!

We went to Cookie Cutter's and they did such a great job. Afton was so excited! She chose a little pink car as her seat and loved the smock they wrapped around her shoulders. She did exactly what she was supposed to and was happy watching Dora on her own personal television. She even let the young boy cutting her hair use a round brush and a blow dryer.

Afterward she got a balloon and went down the slide a few times!

We saved a little lock of hair and felt it was well worth the 15 bucks!

Afton's Pink Party

Just a few more photos of Afton's birthday party - some might be duplicates but oh well!

Pole dancing? What?

I know I shouldn't even SUGGEST anything but these pictures just cracked me up. Afton is such a funny kid.
I also love her hair in these pictures. It was one of those rare days she actually let me do it!

New Panda PJ's

Afton picked these out last time we were at Costco. She LOVES them!

She REALLY loves that she now has Panda feet!

Tutu

The fourth of July was fun for Afton running around in this cute little outfit. Grandma W. made this adorable tutu and bought these fun red, white and blue flip flops. 

I am amazed Afton will wear either one. She is such a little girl! 

Lately

Lettuce from the garden!

 Afton's yummy ice cream cone!

Afton's cute hair! I can't believe how long it is!
She has also decided that bows are cute! Yeah!

Falling asleep on the beach ball after playing in Grandma W.'s little pool!

New bike trailer! Afton LOVED riding around!

In the yard, in the diaper!

Blanket cape!

Yummy corn on the cob!

I can't believe how much Afton has grown. I am fascinated by her and couldn't love anyone or anything more.
I haven't been very good at keeping track of her progress lately but she seems to change and grow constantly.

Blue dress

I wondered when this day would come...

Afton ASKED to wear a dress today. We went through her assortment of play dresses and she chose to wear this cute blue dress from Grandma Watrous. 

She even let me put a bow in her hair!

I can't believe it!

And...she was smiling and happy before I decided we were doing a photo shoot. She was much easier to take pictures of when she was little. 

Sigh...

So cute I might wear one!

Keeley was visiting this weekend so we decided to get crafty
and make some hair clips!

Here are a few of our finished clips.

Keeley was having so much fun that in the middle
of our project she turned to me and said, "This is
so exciting!" Cute!

She is adorable and was even more excited when she
was able to take everything home with her.

I better start over so I can have one to wear!

Afton on the other hand wasn't quite as excited! She did keep it in long enough for a photo though.
