Lots of pictures

I've been a bit delinquent in posting this month, so I'm going to play catch up a bit!

Spring listens in rapt wonder as Reed tells her a story. There are actually several books that he has memorized that he likes to "read" to her!

Spring really likes to get on her hands and knees now. Not much forward motion yet, but soon I think.

It's hard to get a picture of your baby on the floor...

...when you've got a helper on your back!

Reed using his bubble mower. Every time he plays with his bubble mower, he asks me to take a picture of him. Seriously, I must have 100 pictures of Reed running with his bubble mower.

I try to be good about taking pictures of Spring when I take pictures of Reed, even if she's just hanging out watching brother, like we were doing here.

Photo evidence of Spring's very first bite of solid food! Mmmm.... mashed bananas...


All done!

Another Spring milestone occurred last week when she pulled herself up to standing!

Mini-me? I suspect that Spring will look a lot like me, and I feel like our resemblance is especially striking in this picture (which I made Gerry take because I love the jammies she's wearing and she's about to outgrow them).

When the weather was so nice, we went for a picnic to Belfair State Park.

I think Spring might need some cool shades too!

And after our picnic dinner, we went oyster hunting. It all started out fine.

But it wasn't long before Reed got stuck in the mud. In fact, the only person that didn't get really muddy was Spring!
Reed playing at our favorite local park. Check out the view!
Outdoor snack time at home, enjoying the nice weather.

What a difference a week makes!


You wouldn't know it by the wonderful weather this weekend, but Monday we had fresh snow. (ok, it was actually hail, but it stuck around until mid-day tuesday).



Here's Spring in front of the bulbs that grandma Lisa planted last fall right after she was born!








This weekend, it's been great, and we've been outside a lot working in the yard. Got the onions and lettuce planted, and Gerry's started attacking all the hedges with his new high powered trimmer. It's not quite as cool as the weed dragon, but is a close second.

Just pics today

I have lots to say, but no energy for writing anything, so tonight, just a few pictures! In case I don't get around to updating the blog for a while, I suppose I should add for posterity, that Spring is now mobile. She gets up on her hands and knees, the scoots herself backwards and back on to her belly (though tonight she managed to scoot forward to get a toy)!

Giddyup!
At the Pike Place Market on Saturday.
