Let's Play!

It's my observation that Houston has nice weather for about twelve weeks a year: six weeks in the March-April and six weeks in October-November.  So since we are currently in the nice window before the heat and humidity arrive, we have been spending lots and lots of time outside at the park down the street.  Unless it's raining, Olivia is at the park at least once per day, frequently more than that.  She loves running around on the playground and is quite accomplished at all the climbing and going down the slides, both big and small.  She also loves to climb up the slides, especially the twisty ones.  She is not intimated by the bigger, older kids and will just push her way to where she wants to go which is pretty funny to watch.  I love all her energy and excitement.  It's so fulfilling as a parent to see the pure enjoyment and wonder on her face as she finds some new fun or realizes she's capable of doing something she didn't know she could do.  

Here are a few of my favorite shots from some recent trips we took to the park.










Who needs to ride in a stroller when you can push instead?!?!

  1. She is so pretty! So fun to see her growing and developing her personality. We'll have to get the girls together again!
