Lately…

Time for a new car seat?

 

She is very obviously too big for the infant seat, but loves closing the buckles on it.

One day she wanted to play with the lights but I didn’t want to hold her up. I told her to get her stool, thinking she would get the small stool from her room. Instead, she opted for the closer and bigger bathroom stool. I heard some clunking, then saw a stool walking out of the bathroom. I think it yielded at least 10 minutes of entertainment for her.

We took Fiona on a hike at a local park. The wildflowers were in full bloom. The hike was short – 0.6 miles, but Fiona walked the whole way! Our little hiker! She wore the hat the whole day:

 

 

A lot of time was spent playing in the dirt along the way and occasionally throwing rocks:

 

Stopping to smell the flowers:

Eating a snack:

  

She was so excited to run up this hill, and then run back down it:

We went to the Strawberry Festival and she ate corn on the cob:

These are from a year ago:

That was her first corn on the cob experience. She has loved it ever since.

Drinking a strawberry smoothy because it was really REALLY hot:

Sitting in our favorite cafe:

John’s view:

 

She asked me to lie on the floor with her:

   

I think this post has the greatest number of photos with me in them. John was looking at the camera one night and decided that we need to take more photos of me with Fiona. I am always the one behind the camera so I am not in the photos. I need evidence that I was actually there during her childhood, so he is determined to take more photos. I support that!
