Girlie Milestones ~ Wordless Wednesday

1st Haircut and 1st Nail Polish:

My girlie girl is becoming a little lady.

After putting it off and putting it off, I decided to trim her hair myself for her first haircut. Super easy.

She loved the blow dryer!

A few days later, time for toes.

I used Sally Hansen Quick Dry polish. Dried SO fast. Toddler proof, for sure!

The tears came because Savvy wanted to paint Daddy's toenails too, but he refused.

Great Grandma's Russian Nesting Dolls ~ Wordless Wednesday

My grandmother says that her Russian nesting dolls are "not a toy" so I had to sneak them for Savvy to play with during a recent visit. I pinned a great article on "7 ways to Use Russian Dolls to Teach" but didn't use any of the ideas yet. I just let her have at it. I need to buy her a nesting doll set but I can't decide! Perhaps next time we go to Brighton Beach I'll find a shop that sells them...

Too many babies!

Old New York ~ Brooklyn Bridge Style ~ Wordless Wednesday

We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge during Memorial Day weekend. The air was hot and humid; there was a traffic jam of tourists. These photos tell a more perfect story.
