Summer brings with it all sorts of warm weather fun... but one of my favorites is garage sale season! I have been finding some great things for Amita at various different sales, all of which have been huge hits with her!
She continues to eat and grow, but her two favorite things are strawberries and cheese. I guess she gets one from each of us! She has expanded her vocabulary a little to include hi, eye, uh-oh, and hiyah (like Miss Piggy!). Every once in a while, we get an up or an all done, so she's making great progress. She can say mama and dada, but chooses not to most of the time. I'm sure she will when she decides she's ready (as with everything else!!). She is continuing her cautious exploration and has not yet gotten brave enough to let go and start walking, but her balance is great and she moves so fast when I hold her hands that it's hard to keep up. We're looking forward to lots of summer fun this year... here's a look at some of our first activities.
Speaking of garage sale season, here's a heap of clothing that I was able to pick up for her. We are completely set with 2T size stuff after this haul!!
Amita testing out her garage sale pool. I'm not sure that we have the next Michael Phelps on our hands...
We recently brought a kitchen up from the basement and put it on our screen porch. It is hands down Amita's favorite new thing! She absolutely loves playing with it.
Trying out a ball pit that I picked up from a neighbor's sale. She has really enjoyed it... the only disadvantage is that we keep losing real estate on the porch! Fortunately, we can still fit a few chairs out there for relaxing after she goes to bed!
Amita copying daddy. They were leaning back and relaxing on a lazy Saturday morning.
Getting out and enjoying the sunshine with mama...
... but mama doesn't hold a candle to the fun you can have with daddy!
Just because Amita isn't walking on her own doesn't mean she can't find her fair share of trouble. Here she is rearranging our dining room by pushing all the chairs around.
Two shovels and so far away from the sandbox! What's a girl to do??
Enjoying a hilarious pair of glasses with daddy.
Making a mess at breakfast. Who knew you could scatter pancakes like that??
