Tappy

Haylee got a gift card to Build-A-Bear from her Uncle Jeremy for Christmas. We decided to save it since she got SO MUCH at Christmas....we thought we'd wait until Christmas was long gone...so hey, it's May...way far from Christmas and her b.day is three months away, so the timing is right. So off we went to Build-A-Bear this past weekend.

We talked it up to Haylee and she was sooo excited! She picked a puppy and named him "Tappy"....she actually named him something waaaaay longer than that. The name she said over and over to us Tommy and I could not really repeat or figure out how to spell. So Tommy suggested to her that we shorten "her" name to Tappy. Yes, Tappy is a girl she says. And we let Haylee pick out two accessories for Tappy. She picked an A&M shirt (which made her daddy oh so proud!) and a pair of hot pink sunglasses. This kid cracks me up.

After we had been home awhile she asked me to take a picture of her and Tappy. I love that she is starting to like to have her picture taken lately....it's awesome! I think we are over the run-from-the-camera-stage! YIPEE! I knew from taking pictures of other kids that this ended around age 3...yipee! :)

Anyway, here is Tappy!



























Haylee also insisted that I take a picture of her kissing Tappy...oh dear baby sister, get ready...I think your big sister is going to be smoothering you in kisses the moment you join us!

Oh how special. I wish I had gotten to build a bear (dog) at her age; I bet she really loves it.

I can't wait to see pictures of Haylee "smothering" new baby with kisses! How precious will that be? Tappy and Haylee are a cute pair!!
