Things Are Looking Up: #MySundayPhoto

Can you believe I haven’t had a #MySundayPhoto post since October of 2015? Geez, my wife and I have only taken about several thousand pics of our daughter since then. I’m sure you are all dying to see every one of them, right?

If not, c’mon, just humor me. Any parent knows, their kid is the cutest, most adorable thing in the world.

Today’s pic reminds me a #MySundayPhoto post I shared last July.

Her beautiful blue eyes (and hair and personality and craziness) have only grown deeper with an intensity that fills our hearts full of love.

Am I right or am I right? Oh, I know, I’m right! #ProudParents

Okay, biases as a parent aside, I’m just happy to join back in on the #MySundayPhoto fun. Alway enjoy and appreciate Darren’s posts and fun linkup. Be sure to check out his blog full of beautiful pics and maybe share your own #MySundayPhoto!

Afro Curls: #MySundayPhoto – 10.25.15

There’s no doubt that I’ve already posted plenty of pictures that our daughter will despise me for later. This pic of her crazy afro curls is no exception.

Her hair, like most of ours, fluctuates with the current weather conditions. When it’s mostly dry air, her hair keeps rather straight, but when it’s humid outside, well…..

As it gets longer, I’m sure the afro effect won’t be as bad, but until then, it sure is a fun sight. Right? Almost has a Medusa-like quality to it, no?

Medusa, Greek Mythology

Good thing she’s not cursed with turning anyone who looks in her eyes to stone or we’d all be screwed. Those beautiful blue eyes are too hard to resist! However, I would argue that her toddler temper tantrums are becoming close to Medusa standards.

Enough with comparing our daughter to Greek mythology, she’s freakin’ cute and we love her crazy hair. Much like the weather around here, it’s changing daily, but unlike with the weather, it never gets old to see.

Does your kid have hair that seems totally different than their mom and dad’s hair?

What Greek Mythology character would you liken your kid(s) to?

Waving to the Airplanes: #MySundayPhoto – 10.04.15

We’re at the stage of toddlerdom (hey, it’s on Wiktionary!) where every new thing/word is repeated somewhere between 10 to 50 million times a day. One of those things is “plane” or “jet” every time she hears one flying overhead.

Oh, I should mention we live between two airports, one being the extremely busy DFW Airport. In other words, there’s a lot of planes that fly over us. We rarely noticed the flying vessels until now, since Avery calls out their presence upon each passing. We’re proud of our girl for everything she’s learning, obviously, but the repeated words can take a toll sometimes. First world problems, I know.

We encourage Avery with supportive words when she acknowledges a color, sound, object, etc, so now we have her waving to the planes as they fly by.

I’m not sure if she understands that she’s waving to people (like we told her), or just the actual jet and/or plane, but it’s cute nonetheless. Speaking of, we also try to explain the difference between jet and plane since she’s been using both words.

Essentially, all jets are planes, but not all planes are jets. The propeller driven planes and in a different category. All of this just goes over her head (ha ha, puntastic!), but I know she’ll eventually catch on.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Do you have a lot planes fly near your home?

Are there things you never or hardly noticed that your kid constantly discovers around your home now?
