Imelda Marcos II

We have a new word. "Sheesh" which in cupcake speak means shoe. Little did I know that the appearance of this word would herald in her obsession with shoes. It all started when I realised that these darling little navy leather shoes we inherited from her two older cousins barely fit her growing little tootsies. I became fixated with finding a pair of shoes that would provide adequate support for her ankles. I combed pages and pages of shoes on Zappos searching for this Pablosky brand. We are heading to Spain on Friday, and I am hoping to pick up a pair over there. Meanwhile, something needed to be done, the poor darling had obviously experienced some sort of growth spurt. I started by buying a pair at Penneys. Just a cheap 4 euro pair to hold us over. Then I realised I actually needed to buy a pair of mini mary janes because the Penneys shoes were just too loose despite being the right size. I went into Next and found these adorable pink tennis shoe mary janes and another pair of purple and pink polka dots with bows. Seriously - they didn't cost that much. But I had forgotten about two pairs of shoes that I bought her last year on sale at Old Navy. Now I really don't blame the poor girl for getting a little bit confused. I keep trying to separate the shoes that she no longer wears but everytime I do I forget about something and when I turn back she is holding them in her hands. She is constantly saying "sheesh". While laying in bed we are assaulted with our runners being handed to us, even once being (mistakenly) bashed over the head. She now knows the downfalls of a free market economy... too much choice.

World Exclusive - Baby Walks - Mom says best thing since sliced bread!

Extra Extra read all about it! Today in an occurrence so exciting, as in Mom nearly wet her pants, my little sweet potato walked! Ok well she has been taking two steps here and there, sometimes a side step or two in between the ottomans but today it was proper full on walking.  This video is her first time captured on film. After I shot video she walked from the kitchen into the living room, taking approximately 20 steps. It was really amazing. I think the key was that she wasn't paying attention to walking she was pretending to feed me, Oscar and Lulu (our two miniature dachshunds).

In other baby news: How cute are these shoes I got at Penneys? So Punky Brewster meets Rainbow Brite. These strike me as the perfect shoes to be rocking around the house in.
