Since Kinsey turned one last month, it's as if she suddenly became a real, live toddler. She is all over the map as usual, but now she can entertain herself...it is AMAZING! It started one Thursday this past month when I was off work. It was like she woke up that day and could suddenly play and be content all day. I couldn't believe how much more time I had to get things accomplished around the house, and I could also just chill out while she played. I am LOVING this age.
When I don't work, we spend a large part of our time outside. I usually take her to the park in the morning and get a good walk in before we head to the swings. Then I take her to the grassy area and let her explore or chase the ball. She'll slide down the slide a few times too at the playground. Then we walk home and hang out in the backyard for a while longer until she needs a snack. I get my watering and rose trimming done, and also attend to the pool if needed. We just bought a new solar cover for the pool so hopefully in a week the water will be warm enough for a swim!She's about outgrown her 2 naps and is down to one. Right now it starts at about 11:30 but I'm hoping to push that a little later so she won't have quite as long to go between waking up from her nap and bedtime, because it's a long time for her to go without sleep.
David and I had a double date last night after church so Leatrice watched Kinsey. I really enjoyed getting out to socialize with another couple. We went to Zona78. I thought the food was just average but the company and the relaxation of the night more than made up for it. Afterwards we went to Frost for gelato. I had blackberry--YUM!
Today we went to Pam's house for Easter dinner and an egg hunt. With all the stuff Kinsey got from Pam's family, you really would have thought it was Christmas! Kinsey picked up one egg during the hunt. She also thoroughly enjoyed drinking the water from their koi pond!
Here are the pictures from the past month.
