Out for a walk

I love going out for walks. I bring my stroller and Mr. Bear and we walk down the block.

Sometimes there are hangups....
and pit stops....

for treasures like sticks!

I can't wait for warmer weather when I won't have to wear 8 layers on my walk!

So my mom made me a shirt....

What do you think?It has this nice piece of pretty stuff down at the bottom with flowers and bugs on it...


and these pretty colorful buttons on the front.


Oh, sorry, I thought Zeus was calling me for a minute.


But back to the shirt....I think I love it! I can swing my arms and enjoy the day. Thanks Mom!

(Note: The shirt was purchased and the flair was added. The idea is from here http://ohsohappytogether.blogspot.com/)

My very own personal swing....

This weekend Mom and Dad got me my very own personal outside swing! Dad hung it from the big tree in the backyard, I watched from inside since it's still pretty cold out there.
I kept asking Mom if he was done yet!

Finally I got to take it for a test run. I loved it, despite the 15 layers of clothing I had to wear and the confused look on my face. It takes a little to get use to swinging in your very own backyard!

In fact, I loved it so much that when I had to come inside I didn't want to at all!

We had a fun weekend, still a little chilly but we were outside at least twice a day. Daphne has a bit of a cough that is bothering her at night. Last night she coughed so hard at bedtime that she puked so that was an event. She had a pretty good night considering. Have a great Monday!

The slide...

Who...me?

We are having a good week so far but are already ready for the weekend! Daphne has been working on mastering her new skill....the spoon! She is pretty good at it already and can eat a whole container of applesauce with hardly any mess at all. We are also practicing learning body parts and a few words. Other then that it's been a lot of book reading, stuffed animal hugging, toy playing fun. Here 15 mo. stats from last week were 20lbs 11oz (25%) and 30 3/4" (50%) so she is doing great. Happy Tuesday!

The great outdoors

Spring has sprung....for now

Please read me this book....

Sun through the window...

Think Spring

Good morning, we made it through the end of last week and the weekend. Daphne seems to be all the way better now and had a good day at school and gymnastics on Thursday. We are looking forward to what is suppose to be a nice week! Thanks to all of our visitors this weekend (Grandma and Grandpa Soetaert and Jacob and Maria). Today's picture is Daphne's new spring coat, she loves it and wouldn't let us take it off for a least an hour.

Big shoes to fill...

Daphne had a good day home yesterday, no fever at all. She will be going to school today to see her friends at least once this week. She still isn't sleeping very well because I think her ear hurts at night. I am TIRED....just have to make it through today and it will be the weekend!

Day #3...On the mend

Daphne is starting to feel better. We found out she has the start of an ear infection in her right ear and a sore throat and some chest congestion. She is on antibiotics for now and will hopefully heal up quick. She is home again today and will most likely be back at school tomorrow! Have a great day...

Day #2

Daphne will be staying home with Dad today, she is still feeling crummy. We will be calling for an appointment this morning. Think healthy thoughts!

Lazy day at home...

Daphne is home sick today. She has been battling something with a fever and puking. She is taking it easy as you can see.

Things we have learned from our daughter #28

That once you are on a mission it's important to follow through.

Things we have learned from our daughter #27

That there is nothing cuter then a baby butt in a pretty diaper...

Things we have learned from our daughter #26

That the most favorite toys are usually not toys at all....We are doing good here, missed yesterday since we slept in a bit to make up for the teeth that are still breaking through. We are almost to 16 teeth now....whew!
