Horseys and Bouncys

How many times a day can you braid and unbraid a horsey's tail? Well let me tell you, it can't happen enough times to please a two year old horse lover. Shelby's horsey collection is up to about 10 and we have to take them ALL with us everywhere we go. They all have names which she has chosen, and some of them are the mommy's and daddy's of some of the others. We have to take them outside on the lawn to eat several times a day and she lines them all up so carefully. When I don't want her going outside (serious mosquitos right now) she tears leaves off of the house plants and makes little piles on the floor for them to eat. Peyton is just growing way to fast for me. She is becoming a champion bouncer in the little jumpy chair and we started feeding her rice cereal this week which she has absolutely no interest in but tolerates my silliness while I keep stuffing it in her mouth. She is 4 months old now and smiles everytime you look at her. These are just a few random pics from the past few weeks at our house. (I've got to get a new camera!!)
