How many things can I fit in here?

This is L's favorite thing to do these days....see how many things she can stack into a certain area or space! She get's way more on there than I think she can. And of course the frustration comes when things all fall off! She now says War Eagle and will soon be cheering for our Auburn tigers! She also loves to say "where are you?" by saying "Are you?" We've seen some big rabbits in the neighbors yard lately so we go out looking for them and she asks "Are you?" She really is alot of fun!

22 months

L. is 22 months today. She is now saying 3 syllable words and continues to be lots of fun. She recognizes the church and parks now as we're driving up. Her favorite word is "fall". When she stacks her toys up on the chair and they fall off or she sees things stacked on top of shelving in the grocery store or I tell her to sit down in her stroller she says "fall".

Swing

L. loves to swing and Tom found a tree limb in the backyard where we could hang a swing. I went to a consignment sale hoping to find a swing and I did! Now L. wants to go outside and "wing!"

Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed our time away at the mountains hiking, kayaking, fishing, hanging out in the jacuzzi and visiting an apple orchard.

21 months

Visit with Donica

I had opportunity to catch up with Donica - my friend from my PA days. It had been 8 yrs since we'd really had a chance to catch up. I'm thankful for facebook in that i can keep up with friends!

July 4

We had a good and long weekend visiting with family. We enjoyed the swimming pool (and took L several times) , riding the golf cart (L got to see real cows for first time) and fishing (while L slept). It was a good time catching up with the family and seeing folks in Lboro too!

Father's Day

We enjoyed keeping one of our friends daughter while they went out (we're swapping out date nites). It was fun watching L. interact with her. Sometimes she would run from her when she'd come around the corner thinking she was coming to get her. Another time she patted her on the belly (like she does to us). Also we enjoyed a Father's Day meal with Tom's parents and family.

Summer time and Aquarium

We enjoyed time with our moms n more play group recently. Also our friend Jenny was kind enough to let us use her pass to the aquarium. We enjoyed seeing the big and beautiful fish.

Play Date

I enjoyed time with my friend Lisa and her daughter R. They are 5 month apart. L. is always intrigued with new toys and play mates.

Pool Pals

We went to C's first bday party this weekend. They came over today for a play date. L. loves being in the pool. She likes having someone in the water with her as well.

Summer Fun

We enjoyed time at our friends house - playing in the sand and in the pool. Also I let L "help" me in the kitchen. She's always wanting to see what I'm doing and would prefer that I would pick her up. This way she can see what I'm doing and I can get something done.

Fountain Fun

Lots of mommies and kids come to this fountain midday. This was L's second time. She seemed to really enjoy it both times even though it can be scary with kids running past/knocking you down. Fun times ahead this summer!

Visit from Mom

We had a fun time visiting with Mom as she came up for a few days. We enjoyed a trip to the zoo (realize it will be more fun for L when she's a little older and can spot the animals easier out in their environment). We also enjoyed eating out, watching movies and shopping. It was fun to watch L. call my mom "mah" and point to her. We also had Tom's parents over for dinner one nite and had a good visit with them. Tom and his dad have launched their tomato growing business (www.growtomatoestoday.com).

Strawberries

We took L strawberry picking for the first time. I thought T and I would take turns letting her walk around while one of us picked strawberries, but we both started picking and she did pretty well. She got strawberry stuff all over her and then wanted to be picked up. We both ended up a mess by the time it was all over. T. finished up the strawberry picking and we've got nice strawberries in the freezer now.
