Fun Spring Weather

Of course- playing with baby
Having a snack

Posing by Mamaw's tree

Showing off her walking skills- her grandparents (both sets) have amazing grass to walk on- ours is still the dry sod from the winter- it has not turned into wonderful grass yet

She found this chair and claimed it as her own- no one else could sit in it- Clint and I went out and bought her a chair for her very own after this to take to the beach- it is soooo cute!

Playing in the sprinkler with Pops- she doesn't like it to go much higher than this

Look at that belly!

Apparently Pops is teaching her how to drive at 14 months- I said absolutely not to the Harley so the next best choice (in Pops' mind)- the riding lawn mower up and down the street.

She loves straws

Lately she likes to play with a cup of water and straws at my parents- maybe she is going to be a scientist and this is the beginning of her experiments

We have loved the weather being warm. She has played outside so much. Bubbles, water, grass, her cars, sidewalk chalk it is all so much fun. The outfits she gets to wear in the warm weather are so cute- boy do they accent her thighs- it is quite funny! Things are pretty much the same. She is trying so hard to talk. She loves to talk about animals the most (label them and then tell what noise the animal makes). She can now do the hand motions to The Itsy Bitsy Spider, If You're Happy and You Know It, a Christmas Song that we sing at work (Must Be Santa) and a caterpillar song we sing at work (I'm a Hungry Caterpillar). When I come home from work with a theme or song in my head Melanie in turn learns whatever my kiddos are learning. Melanie is hitting much less- thank goodness- I hated that phase. She has to get really frustrated now to hit. She has learned to say banana (kind of). Now she shakes her head no to every food and says banana and points to where we keep them. She has been eating 1-2 bananas/day. At least she is obsessed with a healthy food.
