Mercy is such a sweet little girly girl! I painted my toenails last week, and ever since she has been absolutely fascinated with my toes. She points at mine and then grabs her own. I would paint her toes too, except she is always chewing on them, and I don't want her eating paint. She loves to watch me put on chap stick or lip gloss, and always leans in and puckers up for some. We call it "putting on our pretty lips". She loves having her hair brushed in front of the mirror, especially when it gets brushed with mommy's hairbrush. She also loves her clothes. Whenever I open her closet, she leans in and caresses her clothes, mostly the dresses. I think it is so stinkin' cute! What is great is that not only is she a girly girl, but she also loves to be outside, which I'm hoping means she won't be prissy! :)
What a beautiful time of the year here in western Washington! We have really been enjoying our property and our yard now that the weather has warmed up. I am kind of surprised that our grass is looking so well because the ground is very rocky. The yard is still patchy, but we keep throwing out grass seed, so maybe by next year it will thicken up. Our house is on a hill, and during the rainy season water drains down our hill and into the pond on our property. The pond is also fed by a natural spring that bubbles up out of the ground. We're having fun planning our yard and doing some landscaping. We would love to be able to put a deck off the back and a fence around the cleared part of our property. All in good time!
