Park Time

We have been absolutely loving the nice warm weather lately. We've had several little park dates and have enjoyed soaking up the sun. One day I finally remembered to bring my camera and I caught a few fun shots. Lydia and I met up with Ashley, Carson, and Elsie AND Bekah, Adaliah, and Elizabeth. I loved being with two great ladies, and although I had hoped that Carson and Adaliah would hit it off a little bit more and play together - we still had a nice time. 

Lydia practiced her standing pretty much the whole time. I love these little shots of Lydia as the focus, with Ashley and Elsie hanging out in the background. I couldn't choose which one was best, so I just kept both of them. (I love Lydia's face in the first one, but I love that the second one shows that she is hanging out on my leg.) 

After a little while, Ashley and her kids had to go - but luckily Bekah and her girls were able to stay and play some more. We spent quite a while on the swings - which Lydia absolutely LOVED! We've only tried it once before, but I think that this girl is definitely like her mama and loves to swing. Adaliah sat in the big girl swing to the right of these pictures and Lydia and Zizzy had some fun swinging back and forth. I'm dying over these pictures. (If you look closely at Lydia's face, you can see how much fun she was having.) 

After we were done swinging, we headed back to our blankets to finish our little lunch. (Of course that meant lots of little orange pieces for Lydia.) 

We had a great time at the park, and I'm so glad that I was able to spend time with Bekah and Ashley. It's so nice to know that even though I don't go to work everyday, I'm still surrounded by people who like me and are willing to give me that adult interaction that I need sometimes. I love that we all have little girls right around the same age - and I am hoping that we can get together again sometime soon when Adaliah and Carson can become good little friends so they can play together. 

As I was getting Lydia ready for bed later that evening, I noticed this: 

Somebody got a little sun! I feel so bad, because I didn't even think about putting sunscreen on her. It wasn't super sunny, and she was wearing long sleeves and long pants. But turns out that no hair = no natural sun block. I'm going to have to be much more careful until this little ladies gets a little more hair up top. (It's a good reminder to make sure that all of her tender little skin gets covered with sunblock when we go out.) 

Today was a chilly day, and so looking at these pictures already has me excited for the weather to warm up so that we can get to the park again. I can't wait for summer, lots of park dates, and cute summer clothes. (I'm in the process of changing out Lydia's winter 6-9 month clothes for her summer 12-18 month clothes. I'm so excited!)  Yay for fun days in the sun with good friends.
