Chasing Dusk

Someone turns 15 months old today! WOW. I was just getting use to the fact she was already 14 months and then she has to go and get older on me!


We made a visit to a park last night for for a few minutes at sun down. See her very last photos as a 14 month old:


She has continued to make leaps and bounds this month in her small motor development. Just learned a few days ago how to blow a kiss. ADORABLE. ^_^



 I know what you are thinking, cutest polka-dotty dress ever. And you are right.


 & have I told you how curly gorgeous her hair is lately? Because, yeah it is. Also, I won two more awards lately so I will be posting about them very soon!

Ice Ice Baby

We were far too busy yesterday and missed the whole words and Wednesdays extravaganza but we did have some cool times behind the scenes. Or trying to stay cool times anyway... It has been near 100 degrees plus humid these last few days. It is the humidity that makes true misery, I think. The heat is more tolerable when it does not cause a layer of baste on your skin and stick to the insides of your throat on every inhale.

We have been staying inside during afternoons, it is just too much 'ARGH IT'S HOT' annoyance, but we have ventured out a little at morning and evening time. We waded through the water at the Segwick Co. Park before heading off to the playgrounds for some hard core playing time.
 
The most awesome thing was the fact that we got there at just the right time for FREE ICE CREAM. I kid you not!!! I am not sure if there is anything more cool (all puns intended) on the face of the Earth than a melty ice cream sandwich and a sweet little pumpkin to share it with.

Behind Blue Eyes

 

My belle princesse has been doing well recently, a bit moody because of the still teething aspect but she has seemed to be entertained by our recent excursions. One such outing was on Tuesday, after story time we went to the conveniently located park right next door and before getting too tired and cranky she enjoyed a few minutes of swinging and playing around inside a giant plastic hippo full of woodchips.


The pictures actually remind me of what a flower might see if looking up from the ground---if said flower actually resided in a giant plastic hippo at the park. ;)

&
On Thursday we went to the Exploration Place Playgrounds that I never knew existed before now. It was suppose to be a playgroup, that I majorly failed to be a part of---I knew no one and no one said a single word to me--- but I bit back my sadness and took cute pictures and enjoyed Illusia's enthusiasm. She did more walking than she ever has and only fell once the entire time. She is getting to be such a big girl!


This inquisitive, awesome little girl kept showing off for us and being nice to Illusia, she even showed her how to look into the mirrors. Very sweet kiddo.



I was surprised at how much Illusia loved the fountains, even though she got briefly upset when it surprise attacked her and got her soaking wet, You gotta watch out for those fountains that secretly wish they were ninja's!



Overall I liked the day, I got a lot of cute pictures and even a couple videos of my girl playing and it was a nice park I might go back to sometime. It did hurt my feelings and make me uncomfortable to feel like an outsider, yet again. But it is not others fault that I am too socially inept to make friends. It is a lot easier to swallow with Illusia's sweetness around, that's for sure.

Names in the Sand

We had been going on a lot of outdoor adventures lately. Illusia's uncle (and my long, lost brother) was visiting from nearly 3000 miles away and the temperatures have been beyond  nice. Perfect, ideal really and we have had a lot of time spent time with nature.

Here is an example of a tranquil park visit complete with images of the fun to be had with sticks, sand and a decent camera. :)
