We went hiking at Quarry Hill, just a few minutes away from Grandpa and Grandma's house
Grandma and William get ready to hike
The start of the hike (it wasn't all paved, I promise)
We saw turtles! And birdies! How exciting! William was so excited to look for animals on our hike. When we asked what he would be looking for, he replied "Cows and sheep". Bummer. It is too bad that I know going in you are going to be disappointed. He later updated his list to include frogs, monkeys, tigers, cows and sheep. Too bad we only saw birds and turtles.
Looking into the water for some frogs. Or fish (we didn't see either)
Our hike took us right by an old quarry. Grandpa climbed down and took a picture of us looking us: Daddy, Grandma with a death grip on William, Mama and Mia
Day #2 of dandelion blowing instruction: still no success

Later in the day, I realized two things:
1. Amelia was 8 weeks old today
2. I didn't really get any pictures of Amelia in the baptism dress because she couldn't wear it in the carseat. I had to put it on her at the church and take it off of her before we went home again. So, I dressed our girl up again and got to work. As always, there is a great deal of editing to be done, but I'm tired. If I waited to edit them, you would never see them.
Hiking, shopping, playing are all in a day's work! She is still smiling close to bedtime - what a great girl!
8 weeks old with the baptism dress on
Trying to make herself look bigger than she really is by spreading out.
When she smiles, she smiles with her whole body. Her arms and legs wiggle around! She is so happy!
Serious baby
Thinking about smiling again
8 week old, such a sweet baby girl
Her face is so expressive!
Not happy in this position - the dress was so slippery, she slid right off the pillow
Still not pleased, but willing to chew on the thumb for a few minutes
the end of our session...the beginning of a grumpy face*Gah! I should have taken a picture of my grandma, mom, me and Mia! The days just went by so fast, we took pictures so we could remember WHAT we were doing each day. So busy! Why didn't we take any of our generations pictures this time? Putting it on the list of things to do!
