What happened to my baby girl.  Just a month and a half ago she was wearing diapers full time, being pushed in a stroller all over the place, and talking in a really whiny voice 98% of the day.  This morning proved to me that my baby is growing up.  While I was putting Ruben down for his morning nap, June dug through the laundry basket.  Last month she would have scattered the laundry around the house and made a big mess for us to clean up later.  But this morning, she picked out a beautiful outfit and put it on all by herself.  Actually, she went through several outfits before she found just the right one.  the rejects were placed in the diaper bag.  Now when we need an outfit when we're out and about, we'll have 3 pairs of panties to choose from, one pair of pants, and two tank tops.  When she finished getting dressed, she looked at me and said, "big girl." I'm so proud and at the same time so sad to see my baby girl growing up so quickly.

First Movie

I'm writing this blog post in the third person because I wasn't actually a part of this event but really the pictures speak for themselves.  To escape the heat on Monday, Karl decided to take June to see Cars 2.  This is June's first movie in the movie theater. June's favorite Pixar movie is Cars so we assumed that this would be a good fit.  To sweeten the deal, Karl decided to pick up Hallie on the way and stop by Toys R' Us and pick up a Cars action figure for each of the girls.  What  a cool afternoon

Maybe the steps are a better place to sit

Nothing better than dancing in the front of the theater in the middle of the movie
