Fads: Flamingo Edition

On our trip to south Florida in the late fall of '07 Stephen and I picked out a Flamingo beanie baby for Kyla, who was 10 months old at the time (gah!!!  seems like last week!)  Little did we know, that flamingo would be just the beginning of an interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal! (A fad.)

Crazy how many pictures I have of her with the Flamingo from this trip and want to post them all!

  This is the sunrise on Key West.

Here's where we got the Flamingo : )

Shout out to my West Palm Peeps!

Spring of 2008:  Bought Kyla some new pajamas that were light weight for the summer, size 18m

Fast forward to August 2009... still wearing the "Mingo PJ's"

November 2009:  Kyla is *still* wearing her mingo pjs.  Shorts are getting shorter, belly starts to hang out.  Becomes increasingly difficult to get arms in and out.

December 2009:  eBay to the rescue!!  The ONE and ONLY pair of Carter's 'you make me blush' Flamingo pajamas left in the world are in a size... 3T!

December 2009:  Purchase 3T Carter's 'you make me blush' Flamingo pajamas for $1.99

New Mingo pjs come in the mail!!   aaaaand... Kyla wants to wear the OLD ones!?!

Stephen makes the switcharoo and all is good.  Kyla thinks she has the old ones, but her belly isn't hanging out anymore.

see?

Okay, so that was me sneaking sweet Colby-man in there... but still, no belly shot ; )

Here she is in all her Mingo pj glory!

aaaannd... the Flamingo pose

I don't make her do this stuff folks.  She comes up with this all on her own.

It was my fault, I curled her hair and she turned into a supermodel.

See?  Flamingo, again!

Those pj's are cute too ; )
