Daddy- Daughter Date

(off to the show)

This morning Christian took Beatrix to Children's Day at the Park, to see The Biscuit Brothers.

After enjoying the show they shared a stroll under the bridge and on the river bank - Lemonade Trail.
Beatrix bought daddy a lemonade with her very own money from the purse she carried the entire time... all by her self.

Determined, as always, she wanted to meet The B.B.'s and bypassed the long line to the front, waved, and then said"hi"! (her mother's child)

I think they had a good time, it's sweet they were able to have this one on one time together. This was the last event of the summer like this and I hope to go to more next summer.

Seventeen Months

The Nugget is 17 mos. and is finally saying "boob"! It's been her favorite thing since taking a breath, and until now has never asked for it by name. It's the sweetest sounding "boob" I have ever heard, too.
I would have thought "boob" would have been up there on this list of firsts... "uh-oh", "help", even full sentences came first.
I guess what's the point when we had a nonverbal agreement that she can have "boob" whenever she desires.
I must admit hearing her little sweet voice coo "boob" has me excited about nursing, again.

Viva la BOOB!

** I just wanted to update, it is more of a little "boop" than "boob"... and now that she knows how to say it, she is wanting it all of the time. "boop, boop, boop"***
