Today is one of those days you just want to lay outside in the grass with a good book and a glass of lemonade. Warm, but not hot, light breeze, sunny… ahhhhhh……
Alethea and I went out in the backyard and laid in the shade of our oak tree. It took me about 10 minutes to clear the giant acorns off a patch of grass large enough to put the blanket down, but with that accomplished, we had a lovely half hour to revel in the day before it was time for Alethea’s nap.
(Oh and if any of you are wondering about the orange stains on Alethea’s onesie, those are from the peach I was eating while carrying Alethea. She saw me put it in my mouth and then eagerly leaned over to try it herself. When I went to detach her from it, she started sobbing. Funny girl…)
Looks like Alethea loved being outside!
Beautiful baby!!! I love the look of wonderment on her face in the picture on the left! AND Happy Four Month Birthday, Alethea!!!!!
ps I think she needs to experience some solid foods at the state fair! ;) wouldn’t that be great for her reflux?
To Anonymous – I kind of don’t think that when Alethea’s pediatrician said we could introduce one new food a week she was referring to deep fried snickers bars on a stick or peanut butter stuffed bacon wrapped banana hot dogs (who thought that was a good idea?!!?!)
I think that’s a great idea!
I want to buy a little pig to eat our acorns (you could borrow him), but Julie doesn’t want to. I talk about it sometimes though. So the other day Deacon says, “Dad, I’m tired of these acorns. When are you buying us that pig?”
I agree with Deacon, get the pig. If you do, we’ll invite him over to eat our acorns too. (Do pigs really eat acorns?)
