Police Officer in Training!

Piper sported this bib with big plans to follow in Daddy's footsteps...
until Momma said NO WAY!
Worrying about one police officer in the family is enough.
I'm encouraging her to become a librarian!
I don't think she's impressed.

My loot!
A lady sold me all of this beautiful 'previously loved" clothing
for only $20!!

Honestly. I love Yellowknife for the number of people that "recycle" children's items. I have gotten many things for Piper that were previously loved, in perfect condition, for super cheap! Two of the pairs of shoes that she sold to me weren't ever even worn. Her daughter outgrew them before she got a chance to put them on her! Here's what we got:

1 fleece lined sweater

3 leggings

2 pairs of pajamas

4 pairs of shoes

2 sweater dresses

6 sleepers

ALL FOR $20 = STEAL!!

I love getting a bargain!

My very first ponytail!

As I mentioned in earlier posts, we've all had a cold for the past few days.

Because of this, Piper has gotten a little spoiled with being in Mommy's arms for longer during the day AND we have been watching Elmo. We tend to try not to let her watch too much television, simply because she becomes completely enthralled with it when she does.

She is not one of these kids that can have the TV on in the background and just pay attention when a song comes on. Nope. This child will sit and watch Dr. Phil if you let her!!

You can see it all too well in these photos. I pulled her hair back into her very first real ponytail and was able to snap away taking her picture because Elmo was teaching her how to be a Knight for a Day. lol

My very first ponytail.

Can't. talk. must. watch. Elmo.

Once Elmo was turned off, she was off to explore again.
Here she was trying to reach the toys on the couch,
when she noticed her pink feet!

And another attempt at the stairs!
Being sick just doesn't slow this baby down!

Mommy's Little Girl

Last week Mark caught a cold.

A few days later he gave that cold to Piper.

I was doomed. It was inevitable that I too, caught this cold.

Yesterday Mark had the day off, so I was able to go upstairs for an hour and a half and have a long beautiful nap.

When I came back downstairs, I laid on the floor as you can see in this photo. Piper immediately came crawling over to me, pretend crying the entire way, and then proceeded to lay her head on me and cuddle. If this doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what would!! She acted like she hadn't seen me in a week.

I love my baby girl!!

Oh Mommy, how I missed you!

More than TWO HUNDRED YEARS of Lynches!

This photo was taken back in June when Piper was only 5 months old, but I wanted to share it. 

We have FOUR generations of Lynches here.

If you add up the "Lynch Ages" shown in this photo, you get well over 200 years. 

Mrs Lynch alone has covered 102 (soon to be 103) years!

Piper has some quality durable genes in her little body!

More than 200 years of Lynches!

We have a sick baby girl.

Yesterday we played hard.
And touched lots of stuff...

After an hour Piper started getting very cuddly
and wanted to be in mommy's arms A LOT.

This morning we woke up with a runny nose,
which resulted in a cuddle nap on the couch in the morning
and a cuddly nap on the living room floor in the afternoon. 

But being sick didn't stop me from getting into trouble!
I learned to climb one stair!
(Look who is enticing her!)

Silly Daddy!

I have the funniest Daddy ever. 

He will do anything to make me laugh, 

including putting my Bumbo chair on his head.

Yes, that is VERY funny!

Bumbo head!

Ha. Ha. Ha.
Daddy you have no idea how ridiculous you look!

Dog + Window = 5 Star Entertainment

Pretty self explanatory! 

The dog was outside. 

The babies were inside. 

Throw in one window

and BAM!

You have 5 star entertainment. 

These kiddos were laughing and just giddy!

Laughing at Blue!
(Notice how long Piper's hair is getting.)
It's crazy!!

Distracted by a Daddy!
Blue is distracted too if you didn't notice!

Blue's vantage point!

The funniest shot I have captured to date!!
Silly baby!
