some cute pictures to show you how cute dahlia is. she is such a girl! her favorite colors are pink and purple. in the beginning when we had dahlia i never put her in anything pink, mostly things more my own style, and i have in the past year bought her a couple pink things that are her favorites. i dont really think she noticed that as an infant i withheld this color from her, but i think it is funny that as soon as she is old enough to have an opinion on what she wants to wear or use it happens to be pink (= i really dont mind at all if that is what she likes, it just is funny how much of a girly girl she figured out how to be! 

also her favorite character right now is tinkerbell! she talks about her all of the time. we only have one book of peter pan and she always wants to read it. a week or so ago she started talking a lot about her and now she is her best friend.  i was wondering if we would have to go through that whole "princess" thing with her as she grows up... looks like we might. i dont mind so much fairies though, there are so many more possibilities with that than princesses. my sister made a costume for lillian a few years ago and i was thinking of putting dahlia in it this october if it fits her. it is a tinkerbell costume. so if she is still in love with her, that would be appropriate and stinking adorable! maybe valen can be peter pan.. or michael (=
