I'm already behind with this blogging thing...
Lately, we have been finding things to do that include water and shade since it's pretty hot. This past weekend, Millie ran around in her church clothes, chasing Miles and smelling flowers. On Monday, we went to the most fun place ever. There is a "sprayground" near our house, which is basically a water playground. We met some friends there, and Millie just ran wild and had the time of her life. Of course, she also found all the trash around the park as well as the mud puddles.
We have recently discovered that Millie is outgrowing "baby" toys and needs toddler stuff to play with. She is into crawling on, pushing, and destroying anything she can. Yesterday, I bought her a baby stroller, and my goal is to go get one of those plastic house/fort things with a slide so she can crawl in and out, etc. Where are you supposed to put all of this stuff? Another new development--yesterday she put two words together for the first time. "Hi, baby", which turned into, "Hey baby". No, she was not talking to a boy--it was her doll.
Ryan and I are taking our first baby-free trip this weekend to Hot Springs and Little Rock for a wedding. It's a much needed mini-vacation.
Already, it's been 2 weeks since we started this thing. And I'm just now posting something again. If I could make a New Year's resolution at the end of May, mine would be that I will really try to update our blog regularly. With that said, I have no pictures from Mother's Day, although it was a day worth remembering. I had breakfast made for me, all poopy diapers changed for me (not mine, Millie's), and I was able to lay out and catch some rays. We had a great dinner and time with family, and Millie was mostly in a great mood. Our latest adventures this week include playing in the sprinklers (pictured below) and eating messy beans. Such are the exciting times of an almost-15-month old. She is really taking on a personality now, complete with saying "yeah" and "no" to give me an answer and "thank you" when I give her something. I can't believe what a little girl she is becoming.
On a side note, we had some of our best friends over for dinner on Saturday night. It was a fabulous time, right down to the Queso Explosion. Smart Leslie made some yummy cheese dip and set it on her fancy warmer on the buffet in the living room....well, crock pots outside of their little encasement thing don't really work well....cheese all over the place. What a dinner to remember. Simmons, Cristina, Greg.....dinner out next time??
Yes, we have finally caught up to the rest of the world and become "bloggers". I(Leslie) had a play date with a few of my blogger friends today, and I was thoroughly convinced that I really needed to get with the program. So, here we are! Millie and I had a blast with our little friends, Ryann Lamb, Abby Latimer, and soon to be baby Barrett. Of course, after thinking all morning about how I needed to set out my camera, alas, I left it at home. The other prepared moms have assured me that pictures are on their way, so I'll post as soon as I have them. I was just so excited to blog that I had to post something.
