Enjoying the Little Things {A Girl & Her Toys}

Caroline is really getting to the age where she loves to play. I'm amazed at her attention span. She sat and played with these baskets of toys/books for a long time today. Apparently taking toys out of one basket and transferring them to the other is all the rage these days. Then, she found a loose book page... you would have thought she'd found the best toy in the whole world.

That piece of paper was thoroughly enjoyed by this little stinker. She would crinkle it up, wave it up and down like a crazy person, and then hoot with laughter. When it would get away from her, she'd quickly crawl over to retrieve it (why yes, she is finally crawling) and go to town with it again. 

I'm so thankful that both girls are easily entertained. They both love to play and are good at occupying themselves. Plus could you ask for a cuter girl in panda jammers (that's what Riley calls PJs)? I really don't think so. I'm trying to soak up as much of this baby cuteness as I can before this little chickadee turns 1. 

And my friends, this post is one worth remembering... I didn't cut off any of Caroline's fingers, toes, or appendages with my camera! I'm really trying to learn to step back and capture more in the frame - I can crop later but I can't add little fingers or toes. I have a tendency to get too close and chop off all kinds of things.
