Graces, #11

Birdie turning 11 months. Today. And as of yesterday she calls me Mammamma (and grins).


Dinner simmering in the slow-cooker all day long. So after park and water fountain times with friends we came home to not much to do except nap and eat. Today was an especially good day for that as Pea and I were both extremely cranky off and on.




Pea's new love of "neck-a-laces and brace-a-lets". We made new ones together, too. She always wears her bracelets this way, around her bicep like an Egyptian queen. She says that it doesn't get in her way, this way, and that she can play AND look pretty. She's brilliant.




The self-portraits Pea takes. Constantly. Sometimes I hide the camera. But SO funny.


Warm sunshine and hours out of doors after weeks of grey and rain and gloominess. I'm grateful that we haven't yet had a 100-degree heat wave and we've had little reason to use the a/c but seriously, people, the April in June thing was getting a little old...
