Princess Party

During spring break we took Nixon to a friend's house in the ward and she took some newborn photos of him as a baby shower gift. We got those photos this week and there are some cute ones (of course, the subject is Nixon!)

 This one is my favorite

 I think it is cute how Nixon will sometimes hold on to his pacifier while he is using it - maybe that is just because Lyza never used one

But it always falls out eventually

 Here is one of the beautiful sunsets that we see here often 

 Lyza is a goof! Here she is telling mamma "I'm fast asleep"

 Lyza at the park. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, Lyza has completely forgotten how much fun the park is and that the slides are not scary. So we had to start her off again at the little section of the park.

 I had to explain to Lyza how to use the foot holds to walk up the ramp (she has forgotten everything!). Here she is repeating my instructions

At least she still likes the swings

 Lyza attended her first Princess themed birthday party this week. She had lots of fun, although she didn't really understand the socialization aspect of a birthday party

 Most of the time she was just doing her own thing...like sitting by herself playing with a laptop. And what princess costume is complete without a Peter Pan hat?

 There was a Flynn Rider pinata and the kids hit it with a frying pan

Lyza could barely lift up the frying pan : )

  Kim gave Lyza a little plastic bag to collect the candy and she just stood there with the bag out in front of her waiting for someone to put candy in it. This is either because 1) she thinks she is a real princess and her servants should be doing the dirty work for her, or 2) that is how she has gotten her candy in the past from several parades. I am leaning toward #1.

 When she did get some candy in her bag she ran off into the other room by herself and stuffed it in her face as fast as she could

 Too excited to eat her cupcake to wait for the picture

 Her she is with the birthday girl

 Mmmm...icing!

 Here is our little Nixon

Here is a video of Kim reading "From Head to Toe" with Lyza

Here is Lyza "mothering" one of her dolls. Disclaimer: We never taught Lyza that it is appropriate to drop a baby.

And last but not least here is a video of Nixon "talking"
