My Cool Little Space Cadet

On Monday the weather was a bit cool, so OG decided to sport one of her new offerings from Target's Cat & Jack collection.  Yes, yes, I realize I am slightly obsessed with Target for their toddler fashions, but it has only gotten worse with this new C&J stuff.  It is like I have designed it myself.  You'll see...

So yes, OG wore this on Monday:
-Long-sleeved SPACE SHIRT from the GIRLS DEPARTMENT!  It's happening - finally!
-With a printed FUN FACT on the back! Being knowledgeable is COOL!
-And the main color is NOT PINK!
-It's awesome.
-Oh, and shorts and stuff.

We were also about to leave for Dedi's house, so the jacket covers part of it, but you can get the gist.

Need to know the origin of the word Planet?  No worries, it's on my back.

I am sure I'll have more pictures of this shirt as the months go on, so expect to see it a lot. Now they just need to make one in my size!

September in a Nutshell

Hello stranger(s)! I hope no one put out an APB or opened a missing persons case - we're still here! Promise!

I really hope to get back to writing 2-3 posts a week after all the madness that is Sept/Oct, but then come all the birthdays and holidays, so I cannot guarantee it won't be sporadic.  Luckily I don't think I have a very demanding audience. All 1-3 of you, thank you for your patience.

However, enough about that, we have A LOT of catching up to do...

Since last we "spoke"...

OG is now counting to SIX (it used to be just "one, two...one, two...one..." until yesterday)**, sprouted some molar teeth, visited a few new parks, will be turning 2 years old very soon, has been enjoying her end of Summer/beginning of Fall (finally!), and has had a couple of Lady OG & Dada dates on days we don't have babysitters,  Maybe we will start there...
**UPDATE: "Yesterday" was last Wednesday. As of Sunday (10/2) she is now counting to 10!

OG was hitting the walking trails with dada at our local park while wearing:
-Pink tee with lace details
-KITTY PANTS (which are almost too small now - grr)

Then, a couple of weekends ago, we discovered a park nearby that also has a water play area...and we all collectively lost our minds. It was SO nice! Luckily, we always have OG's bathing suit in her bag. Unfortunately, we didn't have dada's or mine. We managed...

WEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During the same weekend we celebrated L&J's birthday!  OG wore her navy halter sundress, but the most fun part was the inflatable jumpy thing! It was OG's first time standing/running/jumping in one and actually enjoying it. No tears! Also, she and L had a wonderful time playing together.

The following was neither a memorable event nor a fashion moment, but I just love this picture of OG from when we went out to dinner earlier this month:

Faces like these let me know she' IS part momma lol

We also had an afternoon of bubble-blowing with Dedi! OG was wearing:
-Popsicle Dress (Target)
-Purple beaded necklaces
-A ponytail! She looks so grown up...

Donald "Duck" the Duck is wearing:
-A diaper, because he pooped. Obviously.

The weekend before last we (finally) took OG to our favorite nearby breakfast diner.  It's small and always crowded, but she is good at restaurants so we figured it was time!  She LOVED it, and was wearing:
-"Pop Art" Triangle print tank top with purple leggings
-Pink hair bow

This was her response when asked to say "cheese"...but I swear she was having a blast!

"Would she like a toy?" Uhhhh...is she alive?  YES!

AND FINALLY! The grand finale of our month? That would be Auntie C's wedding!  But...I have failed you, dearest reader(s). As a person living in the technology age (with a toddler fashion blog to boot!) I only took 2 pictures of Ms. OG in her "princess" outfit. I'll be sure to annoy you with an abundance of adorable pictures once we get them from the photographer, but for now we have these:

OG and Supergirl are keeping an eye on the situation while momma fixes Auntie C's bustle.

Part biker babe, part pretzel eating princess. Atta girl!

I hope everyone had a fun-filled September as well. Heres to a Happy October!
