Kinder Farm Park

Eleanor is seriously in love with this park! We've been quite a few times this summer...and if it ever cools off a little here...we'll be going again. I think her favorite part is the fact she can run around by herself. I don't make her hold my hand...and she can run all over. What kid wouldn't love that?

They have a great playground area for different ages/stages. Eleanor can go down the slide all by herself now..and loves that. They have goats, chickens, cows, pigs and a rooster. She LOVES it all!

This is a quick shot I got of her after she went down the slide. She's ready to go again!!

16 Months Old...

Ok...I'm a slacker..I admit it. This summer is flying by and I'm MIA in my blogging. I apologize...I feel like we've had something going on constantly...and never enough energy to blog. I'm going to try better...I promise :)

She's a growing...and a growing. I am astounded at how much she understands me...and can follow simple tasks successfully. She learned how to put the keys in the door this week...scary...pretty soon she'll be wanting to drive the car...but if she's anything like me...she'll be terrified...and refuse to learn how to drive...right Grammie C? ;)

M & I look at her a lot..especially over the weekends, and can't believe how big she's getting. We saw a tiny baby at church today...and I was all like..."No way Eleanor was EVER...THAT little!"....but sadly...I look back and yes...she was little...and she used to just lay there. I thought I was exhausted then....but now I'm utterly pooped at the end of every day from chasing her around...and making sure she's not getting into anything.

She lights up every time she sees her Daddy...and shakes her head no almost every time we ask her for a kiss or a hug. She's ornery...we can see it already...but we love her so much...and we don't know what we'd do without her in our lives! Happy 16 month birthday my baby girl!

Little Fish!

So with us being down in NC over the holiday...we got lots of pool time...and people...I gave birth to a FISH! She loves the water...and is scooting herself off the side to jump into the water. Granted...this was not an easy step for Mommy to take...so Aunt Jenni had to do some encouraging...and boy does she like it! She goes under water and comes up ready to give a high five. She even puts her face in the water on her own if you ask her if she wants to swim...it's so cute!

4th of July Fun!

We're back home after a GREAT visit with my family down in NC. We were there for 4 days...plenty of sunshine and laughs! We were at the pool most days...and drove down to Topsail Beach for the 4th. Got some great pictures of my nephew and nieces...and of course...some great ones of my cutie pie! Here's my favorite one from the weekend.
