Piper Jane and her finger puppets

Lately Pip has been enjoying her finger puppets a lot. I say enjoying instead of playing with, because all she does is put them on and then crawl around or play with other things. She just likes to have them on her fingers, kind of like my rings. This makes me happy, because I kind [...]

Piper wears some Japanese shoes

Here are some pictures from a visit a few weeks ago. These incredibly cute shoes came to Piper Jane all the way from Okinawa, Japan (THANK YOU! We love them!). This huge box arrived at my work with adorable (and I’m not using that word lightly here) Japanese clothes and toys. I’m mildly obsessed with [...]

Pip hugs her mama

I know I’m doing things opposite, by beginning this post with the grand finale picture, but I just can’t help myself. On Friday, I taught Piper Jane how to hug, and we were able to work on it a little bit over the weekend. I was worried I’d have to go over it a lot [...]

pj in some pj’s

I saw Piper Jane on Friday, but other than that, Jake and I have pretty much stayed home this weekend. Jake is sick and we’ve been worried about bringing a bug to our little Pipsqueaker. Needless to say, I’m counting down for Tuesday. It’s going to be a smother-fest. If you are like me and [...]

Piper Jane mauls mama

One of my favorite new things that the pip does, happens when I’m on the floor with her. We often put a sheet down and it’s been a great way for her to spread out and crawl around more (which I’ll have you know she is nailing). One time I laid down on the sheet [...]

Piper in the window

As I was saying earlier, I can’t get enough of these piptures from our sunday visit. Pip was just the happiest, cutiest pipsqueak that I ever knew. I’ll call these photos “how much is that pippy in the window?”. Before I start getting comments with bids for her, let’s make sure you all know that [...]

Piper Jane goes outside

This is a ton of piptures. This time I mean it. I just kept liking more and more and had to post a lot. Yesterday Piper Jane was so happy and cute that I keep thinking about the day and smiling. Plus it’s the big kind of smile that you do on the subway and [...]

Piper Jane has casual Friday

on my quest to be more like a “normal” mom, i decided to go to the Pip’s house without make-up today. because normal moms don’t have time to get ready. i remembered that she didn’t have school and thought we’d have a low key visit. it was one of those days where as soon as [...]

Piper Jane plays on the floor

After church we whisked up to see Pippy for our usual sunday visit. Like always, she greeted us with the biggest grin we had ever seen and signaled that she was dying to get out of her wheel chair and play. So we did. Piper Jane is so so so ticklish. In fact, sometimes when [...]

pictures from my phone

sometimes i go through the camera roll in my phone to delete pictures and i re-find some that I love so much! Here are a few.. this pipture is so funny. Pip has cauliflower hair (meaning, she looks like a piece of fresh cauliflower). and what is with her outfit? she didn’t care, she just [...]
