Trying To Fill Daddy's Shoes

It seems to be a right of passage that children try on their parents shoes.  Cassandra has a way to go before she can wear Daddy's without falling over when she tries to walk.  Still, it makes it easier to forget that children have oversized heads relative to their body, right?

Wrapping Paper Is Better Than Presents

Cassandra likes to open presents...and she doesn't like to sit and watch other people open presents without her help.  During Aunt Kristi's birthday party, Cassandra is distracted by Cousin Samantha thus keeping her from getting into too much trouble.

Mmmmm. Bread!

Dinnertime is generally fun.  Cassandra interacts with us and seems to really enjoy eating real people food.  Given how much Uncle Doug liked "getti," I can only say watching her is like watching history repeat itself.  Cassandra is much neater, although in Doug's defense I will say that penne noodles are much easier to eat with a fork than spaghetti noodles.

Mid sneeze?  Well, she just looks silly.  I'll need to tease her about it when she is a teenager.

Mmmm.  Bread!  I'm pretty sure she gets this from Daddy.  Mommy likes bread but doesn't shove the whole thing in her mouth.  Notice how good her table manners are?  She even uses silverware on breadsticks.

More Silliness With Clothing

After stealing Mommy's hat and putting on her mittens, Cassandra decided to entertain us.  I wonder if the reason we are so entertained by Cassandra is because she is our child or we just need more sleep.

Trying On Clothes

Now that Cassandra is up, she is ready to try on her wardrobe.  Grandma Wendel made a dress for Cassandra to wear and here she is proudly showing off the outfit.

Sleeping Beauty or Sub-Optimal Placement

Here is what we found this morning when going to get the Empress up for the day.  I don't understand how she does it.  If my foot wasn't covered, I'd be cold.  I also don't understand how she doesn't notice when she moves around in her sleep.

Even If The Shoe Doesn't Fit, Wear It.

Cassandra modeling Mommy's slippers...and yes, we are easily entertained.
