Summer days...

I thought that while the weather was really warm we'd try the new splash pad that I bought for Paige. The water was soooo cold that came out of it that she would really only feel it, but when I put her feet in it she wasn't so sure about it.

I was also able to dress Paige in one of her summer dresses. Now that she can walk, it was easier for her to wear a dress. In fact it probably made her want to walk more since crawling is hard in a dress!

You can see Paige's new toy in that picture. It is her "little people barn". She reaaallly likes it. What a great purchase. She knows that the animals are all part of the set and one by one she chucks them in the top of that silo. I find that so amazing. This is one of the first toys she has which we can play with together, and I had showed her how you can put the animals in the silo. Then, what do you know? She is doing it herself. I know that doesn't sound that exciting, but it shows a lot of skill I think. I just love how she tries to shove them in and they don't fit, so she keeps trying. Next, she'll be shape sorting!

(strange how Paige's hair photographs red....I think it is my camera, because it doesn't look like that in real life)

I've noticed she is becoming more interactive with strangers. She doesn't always become shy when people talk to her. I find if strangers don't come right up in her face, she might just talk to them. At the grocery store yesterday she repeatedly said hi to the lady at the till. Then when the lady waved and said bye bye, Paige did too!
