Mommy and Nyah time

Now that Gabe goes to kindergarten every morning, we have Mommy and Nyah  time during Ian's nap.  It's fun to have more one on one time with my little sweetheart.  More than anything in the world, I want to have a close, happy relationship with my daughter. (Well with all of my kids of course!)  So anyway, this is our time to get started! :)  She is still a little spitfire and most of the morning is spent with her yelling "MOMMY LOOK!  I JUMP!!" while she jumps from the coffee table to the couch.... or her yelling "I FROG!!" while she leap frogs across the floor... or her yelling "MOMMY, CATCH! BALL!" while she stands poised to chuck a ball at me.  You get the theme here, right?  A lot of yelling and physical exertion!  But we do have quieter moments when we read together (she loves to look at books) or cook/bake together (she is a great help dumping ingredients and licking pretty much everything she can get her hands on!).  Overall we have a wonderful time together. 

One day she found a water gun and was absolutely engrossed!  I banished her outside, for obvious reasons, and she happily spent an hour shooting water and filling it back up repeatedly.  She was so cute I went out and took some snapshots.  It was hard to decide which to post so I'm posting too many. Oh well.

Of course poor Denali got squirted. She is way too tempting of a target!
