Dipping My Toes!

On Monday, the weather was hot so mommy, Oliver and I decided to head to a wading pool. We threw on our swimsuits and when we got there, Oliver and I were excited about the water. We were excited about the water for different reasons. He was excited to swim in the water, go under the fountain and splash around. I, on the other hand, was excited to fill and refill my cup with water and bring it to the edge of the wading pool and dump it out.

I must have done this at least fifty times over the course of the morning. Mommy just kept on watching me go back...and forth...and back...and forth!

Oliver snapped a quick picture of mommy and me together.

Nonna got this swimsuit for me. I love it!

In the middle of all the playing, we had a little snack.

And then we decided to take a little break (the pool was crowded) and go for a hike in the woods.

I have no idea what we are looking at but it must have been pretty exciting!

After our little walk, we headed back to the pool for some more water fun!

We left early in the afternoon and headed home for some lunch. It was a really fun way to spend a Monday.

H Stands for Happy

In my world, I'd like to think the H on my hat stands for Happy! On Friday at dinner, we were joking around and all started wearing daddy's hat.

We decided to have movie night on Friday. We were originally going to watch Ant Bully but, due to some technical difficulties, Curious George became our main feature. I still have a hard time sitting through movies. Oliver really enjoyed the popcorn and the movie. I enjoyed playing with my toys!

Before the movie started, daddy, Oliver and I did a popcorn cheers.

On Saturday, the weather was not great but by the afternoon it was clear enough to go to a park as an entire family. During dinner, when the four of us are all eating together, we tell each other our favorite part of the day. Daddy said his favorite part of the day was watching mommy act silly at the playground. She and daddy seemed to have fun playing with us.

I cannot forget to mention my pants. My Aunt Carolyn made them for me and I think they are just so comfortable!

Mommy and I went down the slide together.

I had to put these pictures of Oliver in because he was going across the zipline and when he got to the other side a pool of water fell on his head. We all thought it was SO funny!

On Saturday night, we made lasagna. Mommy was at the store so we surprised her by having the lasagna ready when she got home. We aren't too sure why daddy had us make the lasagna on the floor!

On Sunday we went to a really fun first birthday party! It was also mommy and daddy's 7th wedding anniversary so we sang "Happy Anniversary" to them before dinner.

Memory Boxes

Last week, on a rainy day, mommy asked Oliver and me if we'd like to look at our memory boxes. We were excited to look through them and see the treasures that were inside.

I found a banner from my second birthday, lots of cards, my birth card from the hospital, Baptism certificate and other goodies!

I also found my Storyland driver's license and tiara.

What confused me the most though was this picture of me from before I was born! I didn't quite get it but enjoyed looking at my first picture.

It was a fun way to pass some time on a rainy day. Mommy could not believe that we had such an enjoyable time looking at things in those memory boxes.

Strawberry Loving Time!

On Wednesday morning, right before the bad weather arrived, we met up with Lauren and her mom at a farm for strawberry picking. We each started out with empty quart boxes and then the fun really began.

We picked lots of berries. I was told by mommy to pick the really red ones.

Lauren was very good at picking the good strawberries.

In true Adelaide style, I got a little distracted. My strawberry picking experience quickly became one berry in my container and then one berry out of the container into my mouth. I then stopped putting them in my container and putting them right into my mouth.

Yum, yum yum!

Mommy started to help me and the strawberries began to fill up in my container.

Oliver did a really good job of picking the strawberries.

In the middle of picking strawberries, Oliver and Lauren got distracted by a ladybug.

Oliver decided to give the ladybug to Lauren.

After about an hour of picking strawberries, our quart containers were very full and we were ready to head back to the picnic tables for a snack. Oliver did weigh our strawberries before we left and he had a little over a pound and I had one and a half pounds. We had a great time with our friends and a great time eating strawberry shortcake that night for dessert.

Potty Humor and Parks

What would an entry be without a silly picture of me. Lately, I've been obsessed with potties, underwear and bathrooms. Well, I am a two year old after all. So, it should come as no surprise that mommy was in the car getting ready to drive us to a park when she looked behind her and saw me grinning ear-to-ear with a pair of my Hello Kitty underpants on my head. Oliver and I thought it was hysterical!

Once we got to the park, we decided to play pretend baseball. Oliver stood on the pitcher's mound and started throwing imaginary balls.

I started running the bases. If I had known I'd be getting so dirty I probably wouldn't have worn my white skinny jeans.

Apparently I run with my tongue out of my mouth. Who knew?

Finally, I'd had enough base running and headed over to the playground area.

After Oliver and I played for a while, we decided to play hide and seek in the trees. Here I am "hiding." I was very difficult to find!

Caught by mommy and Oliver!

Oliver started laughing hysterically when I used some potty words while running around.

Oliver asked mommy if he could see her camera so she gave it to him and he captured mommy and me on the ground in a hug.

After lunch at home, we met up with mommy's friend Dawn for some ice cream and a new park adventure.

Blue ice cream is very cool!

While we were at this beautiful park in Arlington, we went to the top of these stairs and could see Boston. Oliver was very excited to show Dawn the city.

The view from the top of the hill was great!

Dawn taught Oliver and me how to roll down the hill. Being the lady that I am, I decided it would be more fun to watch Oliver roll.

There he goes!

I think I'll scoot down the hill. I scooted down the entire hill. No rolling for me!

We had such a fun day. We were so tired that Oliver and I both napped on the way home.
