May Adventures

May was a very busy month... Mother's Day, teacher conference, doctor's appointments, Memorial Day, and the Herndon Festival. Simone is growing soooo fast; baby days are over and she's officially a little girl. She sings songs, speaks in almost sentences, and is working on giving up her bottle and pacifier entirely (those are tough ones).

Here's a recap of the month, in reverse order. Yesterday, we ran some errands and took a stop at the play yard. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm, but not too hot. Simone loves to go down and UP sliding boards. How's that for dual use? (and yes, she CAN make it all the way to the top!)











We also went to the Herndon Festival. Despite her somewhat serious expressions, she really liked the rides and was a trooper waiting in all the lines. We think she'll do great in Disney World.










































Yes, she looks a little terrified, but she loved this slide so much, she went down twice.



She braved the cars all on her own...















































On Memorial Day we went to a bbq at the Petersons'. We had tons of yummy food, but the highlight for Simone was their new puppy, Chico. How cute, just her size. And no, we're not getting a puppy.
































































































That weekend we also went to a neighborhood block party in Falls Church with Laura and Beckett.




















AH!.... isn't life grand???? (OR maybe it's more like, uh! what am I going to do with these parents!!?!!??!)
