Wrapping Up Summer

Since moving in with my mom, Lilly has gotten to experience a little bit of "normal" life. She has her own yard to find ants in, a swing set to play on, and we live right in the middle of a whole bunch of fun places to visit. Here are some pictures to sum up what we've been doing with our time. 

 

She's no longer afraid of letting ants crawl on her, so now the poor things get squished as she picks them up to put into her hand. Call me crazy, but I actually feel bad for the things.

Ryan brought me flowers.

Lots of Bear-bear selfies

She collects (kills) ants in the trunk of her bike.

My mom and I got a date night, since Ryan was out having a bro-date. She was craving guacamole from Los Cucos, so we decided to make her feel better. Lilly was yelling "no!" as I asked her to smile.

I'd say these are some very happy grandparents, getting to play with Lilly ALL THE TIME

She FINALLY figured out how to use the pedals on her bike

Saying "Daddy, I catch you"

I love that our front lawn is shaded in the evenings. We spend every evening out playing in the grass. Oh, and there's also NO dog poop!

Playing with her Angel

I started growing this flower several months ago, from one tiny sunflower seed. I was surprised it survived the move. It's doing quite well and finally sprouted a flower! Yay me!

Copying daddy

Riding backseat on her bike

Wearing her first Band-aid. Thank goodness grandma had Spongebob ones!

Every morning on my way to the gym, there are several hundred geese eating in this field. It's so cool!

We love saying prayers with her each night. She even says most of the prayer herself.

Finding ants

I was pretty proud of myself for mowing the lawn while pregnant. Believe it or not, I actually find it relaxing.

She loves her new train set!

This was a very bad decision on my part. She didn't seem to enjoy it, since the dripping ice cream bugged her.
