lounging.

laying on a blanket (or towel) in the backyard = summer bliss!

backyard.

there were a few tears to be had as you waited for your motrin to kick in (you woke up from your nap with a fever - dang vaccines!)...

but soon you were back to your normal happy self, sitting in the sun playing & snuggling mama.

everything has a place.

we did this over & over today.  i would give the rocks to you, and you would put them back.  i laughed so much at how like your daddy you are :)

tasty. rocks!

you sampled rocks as part of your outside therapy today!

water play.

bradykins, you LOVE the water. anything to do with it!!!  as soon as i get the hose out to water my flowers you start squealing.  so this time, i stripped you down to your dipe & we played for awhile.  you were happy as a clam even though the water temp had to be near freezing :)

loveland afternoon.

brady & i took a little roadtrip for our walk this afternoon after his nap...to loveland!  we dropped by aunt kate's house to meet brutus (both boys were pretty fond of each other) and then took a long walk around lake loveland.  it was hotter than hades out there but most of the walk thankfully is shaded.  we had a great walk & talk!

 

hot summer days.

we ventured out on an afternoon walk today despite temps being near 100.  nothing makes little man happier than being outside, and i usually need the change of scenery by afternoon.  so we wore our tanks, lathered up with sunscreen, and headed out to the park!

(as you can see, it's hard to be 1 sometimes)
