Coed fun

 Neighbor boy Everett says hello to Lucy from outside, and clearly Caroline is checking this situation out.

I'm pretty sure she's checking to see if there is going to be a kiss....guessing this won't be the first time she'll spy on her sister with a boyfriend!

 And despite their 'shadow', he goes in for the kiss-nose to screen to nose!

 This catches the attention of his big bro, Ivan.

 And as Lucy gives out high-fives all around, Ivan moves on to better things.

 And in case you can't tell by that head tilt, this is Caroline saying "You wanna do chalk, Everett? Do you?"  (Head remains tilted and bobs up and down throughout the entire question).  Young love...  I can already see them cringing at this blog post in about 8 years.  Ivan already asked if Caroline could stay the night at his house.  I told him not without a ring on her finger....and I meant every word! 

Pure Sweetness

 Just had to post a few of my faves from the weekend.

 This little sweetie is all smiles these days.

 And she loves to look outside and point to her Daddy, or big sister.

 How about a kiss through the screen?

 Such cute concentration, and sweet little curls on that head.

And a cheesy grin through our rose-colored specks.  Ah, if only we could all see the world through the eyes of a toddler. 

Steppin' Out with My Baby!

Oh yes she can!

Time for the baby gate - this girl is fast!

And this Mommy is grateful that she can get from one level to another without the strain on Mommy's back.  They grow. so. fast.

Polar Bear Mambo

 Do you know what happens when you have a one year old that wears a dress two days in a row?

 They forget how to crawl because they don't want to get caught up in their dress!

 And instead they learn to do this bear crawl move.

And even with her butt up in the air, she still looks pretty cute - but oh so silly!  She was even crawling like this the next morning when she had regular clothes on again....cracked. me. up!  What a silly silly girl. 

Whee!

 Someone loves the swing!

 We sure are glad the neighbors are willing to share!

 Their swing set appears to be the start of many fond memories for us this summer!

Hope we don't wear out our welcome!

Picnic with Pops!

How about an impromptu cookout?

The weather this year has been perfect for dining outside, and I love that the mess stays out of the house for even just a brief moment, so a picnic with Papa was born!  Lovin' this weather!

Nap Sack!

Someone is just a little thrilled at Mommy's latest purchase.  It's a mini nap mat - perfect for those times when we're on the go,and someone needs a place to nap. She LOVES it - and couldn't wait to get cozzeee in it right away.  Now let's hope it works when we're on the go this summer!
