My sweet baby girl got to enjoy the 4th of July. Well, kind of....she goes to bed so early that she doesn't even know what night time looks like....much less fireworks! But we spent the day at G's house eating lobster and watching the kiddos play on the slip'n'slide. Then the three of us went to our city's Freedom Fest. We listened to music, ate some food...and were basically just doing everything we could to keep cool. We were all a hot sweaty mess. But, it was so much fun and that's what making memories is all about!
Oh, how a year can change everything. Our squishy last year...and my sweet big girl this year.
We visited with Miss Sue every other week. The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when he put her in our lives. She is so positive, loving, supportive, adventurous, caring, and motherly/grandmotherly to the three of us. She's selfless.
On a different note: we started the oh so fun swim lessons. HaHa. It really was fun... but my cautious timid little one doesn't like to feel unsafe...ever. So, when it came time to "dunk" my bebe.... (for an entire tenth of a second) she flipped out. She just gave me the stink eye every time she thought I was going to put her under the water. And does this girl have a stink eye.... woah.
But, playing on the side of our pool causes no need for raised eyebrows...go figure.
One morning the weather was a little cooler so we headed to the park. It was sweet pea's first time to explore on her own....well, she never went too far from us but she walked around a little.
Each morning we walk down our street...sometimes we go a few times... because it's so early and cool outside it's the only time of day that isn't scorching! Hatilynn's
favorite house is the house with a kitty. She points and meows for probably 5 minutes before we tell her to keep walking home so she can finish her breakfast. It is the sweetest. She has such a love for animals.... especially kitty cats. I wonder where she gets it?!?!
We go out to eat a few times every week... while walking into one of our regular spots I turned around and swore I saw a little celebrity. I can just imagine her saying... no pictures please!!
There were a few shopping trips with Nan. We found the cutest hats and sunglasses for our vacation..and if H looks precious in something,,Nan is going to buy it!!!
But, since most days in July were so hot we had lots of days around the house. Reading.
Watching Frozen.
Playing in tents.
Playing with daddy.
We saw our friends at Top Golf... Friends that have babies makes events so much fun!!
I had to put this in here... we need to work on our table manners I guess.
T had a daddy/daughter date day while I met my girlfriends for brunch. She kept sending me all the fun adventures he was taking H on and I was getting so jealous!! These two had the best time... by the time I got home they were both napping!
At the end of the month we got to celebrate Ty's bday. This guy is a phenomenal hubby...he is such an encourager...I'm not sure if he ever feels down and out. He can make any situation fun and exciting. But most of all he is the most devoted and dedicated daddy. I honestly didn't know dads were like this...I dreamed they were but didn't realize how important it would be to a little one when their daddy is always there. Thanks to his random working schedule...it's usually the three of us together every day. Hatilynn is so loved.
We went to a new place to eat for Tyler's bday dinner. Oh dear, we needed that night out together!
In the end, we try to be the best we can be for this sweet pea. It's an amazing thing how such a tiny little girl can rock our hearts and light a fire inside your soul.
