:Wordless Wednesday: Blue Jean Baby or Toddler:

.WATER.

Like I have said before, HattieJo LOVES water. She loves to play in water wherever there is water to be found... like in the fountain in my parents back yard! Not only did she want to splash in it with her hands, she wanted to stand in it and stomp.. WILD WOMAN!

.tickling the ivories.

While we were at my parents house, Little Miss Priss discovered the piano. She was so cute. The first time she touched a key she looked around not sure why it was making such a noise. Then she became quite fond of "playing" the piano. She was gentle and didn't bang!

.picnic in the park.

While we were in SC after our beach trip, we were able to go to the park and have a picnic with some of my friends from college! Joanna is about to have a baby boy, Cooper, in 6 weeks. We were suitemates for 2years and ran cross country together at NGU. Then Amber married one of Andrew's roommates from college and so that is how we became friends. Crazy thing about Amber is that she had her little girl, Kyley Joy, the same day that HattieJo was born! They are about 12 hours apart!!! Crazy! It was such a fun time to let the girls get together and for us all to catch up. Of course we didn't get a picture of us three, because we were watching the girls. Kyley and HattieJo were so sweet feeding each other goldfish and other snacks, then HattieJo was on the go with her RED cheeks from walking all over the place. HattieJo loved being at the park seeing all the people. She was walking up to everyone and waving and talking. I am pretty sure she isn't shy!

:family beach photos:

So we set out on Sunday night to get some shots of our family on the beach together... My dad had the camera set up on a tripod so that we wouldn't have to bother anyone with getting our pictures, so then the task of getting HJ to look at the camera and not the person running from pressing the button to get in the photo!!! So my idea was to throw a shovel right at the last second to get her to look straight ahead... here are a few bloopers! (Yes, that is the shovel in mid-air in the second photo! haha)
