she's a lady



I painted Audrey's nails for the first time ever today. She grabbed my nail polish from the bathroom drawer and gestured to my painted nails, and then to her tiny fingers. So we sat down together in the bathroom and I squeeeeeeeed all over the place at having a girl* and being able to do this super precious thing with her. When we were done, she held her little hands out and said, "pitteh!" which is "pretty" in case you don't speak Audrey-talk.

This picture of her breastfeeding while holding my shirt with her little pink nails is the sweetest contrast to me. Baby and big girl, all in one.



*Not only girls paint their nails! Julian is a black fingernail aficionado.

Aww! Such a sweet little lady!

Westley was rocking a rainbow of painted nails for a while, but he always wanted to do it himself and I'm a little afraid of nail polish spills.

Such a sweet girl :-) And OMG those lashes! Why do all the babies have all the lashes?

I still haven't painted Alexa's finger nails, just her toes. I think we need a manicure day soon!
