Summer

I have missed a few months due to... who knows. Here is a recap of the summer thus far.

Dad taught Jillian how to spit bath toys. Mom loves this.

A trip to the pool on one of the few hot days so far. She was in for a couple minutes and then over it. We were so hopeful after hearing from both grandmas how much she loved the pool.

After many tearful requests for "fing" (swing) I took a trip to Toys R Us and got one. We rigged it to our outdoor big swing frame. She likes it but hasn't become obsessed with it or anything. I felt so bad the day we bought it because she saw some swings at Del Dios (or some kids playing) and said, "FING!" I told her excitedly, "we're buying a swing." Evidently this information is not delightful to a toddler but incredibly frustrating. As soon as she saw the swing she wanted it set up so she could swing right then. In the car. However that would work.

Hanging out with cousin Adam at Marie's 30th birthday hoedown.

Her first trip to the zoo. At least with Mommy and Daddy. Which means this was her first trip to the zoo.

I found some Little People sets at a garage sale for a good price. She now has a ton of people and animals. She is especially fond of the animals. She shows her love here.

Learned a new skill: climbing through the coffee table.

Revised the pool situation to a blow-up crab. She enjoyed it but didn't want to sit in it for an extended period of time.

Showing me her smile.

And finally we cheered on Daddy at the America's Finest City Half Marathon last Sunday 8/15. He did awesome!
