Weekend Walks

Stircrazy Sundays and balmy 48 degree weather are perfect for walks in our cul-de-sac neighborhood.

Warning ~ picture overload ~ because she's super cute and it's my blog and stuff

Years and years ago when I was living life as an underappreciating highschooler, I loved photography and I even had my very own darkroom for developing film and photographs. I'm slowly, very slowly, remembering how to take pictures while learning to use our snazzy camera. Upon review of these recent captures it seems that the first lesson I need to recall is do not cut the picture short as Della is missing the top of her head in several of whatcouldhavebeen my favorite shots. Still ... I think I captured her enthusiasm for fresh air and her curiosity for the world around her. Love you babe ...

Feeding Herself ...

This is Della learning to feed herself ...

This is Della attempting to insert spoon full of food into mouth ...

This is Della with her shirt off as she is a really, really, messy self-feeder and it's easier to clean a naked baby ...

This is Della blowing razzberries with a mouthful of food which is apparently her newest way of telling us she's full ...

I love you babe but I truly hope you outgrow the mouth-full-of-food-blowing-razzberries stage. I had to clean myself, the floor, and the camera lens after this shot.

Rain, Rain, Go Away ...

Rain, Rain, Go Away ... We Want to Go Outside to Play!!

Today I made my daily lunchtime visit to Nana's. After lunch the rain paused for a moment to let the sun sneak a peek through the clouds. We quickly put on Della's coat and boots then burst out the door to make use of this rare break in the weather. I was able to capture a few pictures of my happy little girl before heading back to work.

  

Thanks Nana for taking such good care of my baby!

Things Della is doing lately ...

poofing out her cheeks as she blows razzberries non-stop

spending her bathtime playing under the shower spray ... while blowing razzberries

eating non-stop

pulls her (typically dirty) hands down her face and shakes her head when she's done eating

still sleeping thru the night ... mostly

although going to bed nearly an hour later ... 9pm!!!

sings and dances along to music ... anything with a heavy beat

tries to unlock any and everything with her keys

just started crinkling her nose and barring her teeth in a somewhat scary smile

gives me a hug when I come home from work ... LOVE
