cold-ish weather outings!

ok, so this day wasn't TOO cold...

but cool, & it's warming to be moving at a pace with the kid & groceries on your back! :)

duck pond.

I'm guessing that "someone" has been feeding the ducks... what do you think?

swings!
it was pretty chilly here yesterday afternoon.

just look at those rosy cheeks!


ok, but can we please take these ridiculous mittens off??

higher!!

YAY!!

pretty light... wish I had my nice camera!

these are all cell-phone pictures, so the image qual. isn't all that great.
but -- well, at least it's something.

Ballons!

Liv has recently discovered balloons! We were in Safeway yesterday and they have lots of Valentines Day Balloons everywhere! She was ecstatic! It was great. BA-BA-BA shouting & pointing - just so happy about seeing & recognizing all these big colorful balloons!

Trader Joe's will give them to kids (well, prob adults too for that matter) at check out.

This yellow one was the second balloon we've brought home, they loose their "float" overnight, but they are still SUPER FUN - just ask Liv!

another... it's just such fun!!

Bulldozer

Another Walking Vid...

Ducks on Parade

Hey! All right!!! It finally worked... I've been trying to get this posted ALL DAY!

So here's our little Liv walking!

I just love these ducky pj's; too bad she's almost outgown them.

Girl Gone Wild

Liv gettin' sassy after her bath...

This really isn't me...

ok, maybe just a little...

ha!

ok! enough!

(I have hi-res & uncropped if anyone needs new wallpaper! Mom!)

Oh!! and look who's learned not to pitch headfirst off the couch!!! woo-hoo!

Liv at the Fountain & Marina

This one (in the blue sweatshirt) is from yesterday... The pink outfit is today (2/2)...

After hanging out with me in ths shop (and only complaining a little...) we went outside to play... she was so happy about that!! (they're cell phone images, so limited quality - sorry)

then we went to the marina... it was supposed to be the park, but something came up!

still working on getting some video edited & posted... stay tuned!

love,

~e. for all

Playground

We stopped at the playground the other day. And I let Liv do some exploring. For the first ... I don't know ... 20 minutes?! She pretty much sat in one spot and watched the other kids play.

Then she played in the sand box with another little toddler for a few minutes then followed another little boy over to the climbing structure. At the top she sat & watched a couple bigger kids going up & down the slides, up & down, up & down. At some point she decided it looked ok & scooted up to the top of the slide, the little boy jumped off at the bottom & stepped aside to give her a turn. Very sweet.

It was a fun adventure, then mom & Liv went to the taqueria & shared a rice & bean burrito! yummy! a good day!
