before you ask ... yes, sweet baby is ALWAYS naked.  i put clothes on.  she takes them off.  and it's a battle that i have put on the back burner for now.  maybe when she's 16 she won't fight it anymore.  until then.  plus, this is how she stays so tan!  

i turned her loose with a spray bottle this afternoon and she had the best time.  it's amazing at what the cheaper-than-$1.00 toys can do.

karsyn amazes me everyday with the things she learns and does.  she is going to do really well in school and is definitely going to a perfectionist in everything.  not sure where she gets that from.  ahem. 

these days she spends at the kitchen table {which is now covered with pen and marker marks} writing away.  sometimes she draws, but she really prefers to just write.  she writes her name.  first, middle, last.  writes other peoples names.  she knows how to write the names of all of her friends at school even.  i know, she's pretty darn smart if i do say so myself. 

i love watching her learn new things too.  everytime she sits down with that marker she comes up with something new.  even if it's learning how to write with a marker in her mouth ... 

or balancing a bugle on her tongue ...

it takes talent folks.  pure talent.

{actually, i'm pretty sure she was just trying to avoid another picture.}

. multi-tasking .

sweet baby can multi-task like no other 2 year old i know.  typically, it's left thumb in mouth WHILE the pointer finger on same said hand is in the nose.  so, she can suck her thumb AND pick her nose all at the same time. 

this particular instance she was throwing a fit [not a hug one, obviously, but she was mad b/c i wouldn't let her watch a movie], sucking the thumb, and doing something strange with her eye.  i'm not real sure.  i'm thinking she resembles an alien, but i could be wrong.

you may start seeing more of these pictures.  karsyn LOVES to just sit and write.  her, an empty notebook, and a marker keeps her busy for several hours at a time.  and somehow, she knows how to write her alphabet backwards.   seriously.  the whole thing.  she writes the letters backwards and does it just as fast as she writes them forwards.  i'm pretty sure she's smarter than me.
