crazy hair & bumble bees

last night i downloaded all of the pics off of my big camera (it hasn’t gotten much use lately) and found some great ones from last month that i had forgotten about.  that’s more fun than finding cash in the pocket of your coat that you haven’t worn since last fall.

great hair & face – i believe i read that sweet potato is supposed to be good for your skin

i’ve been trying to think of new things to do with anabelle outside.  without a yard it’s easy to just cruise through the day and later realize we didn’t get much of a chance to play out in the sunshine or enjoy the fresh air.  we take charley for walks but that feels more like a chore to me – i suppose i should just change my thinking about that.  maybe as anabelle becomes a better walker we can have more fun with it.

anyway, the other week i decided that we were going to go the leatherneck museum by the base.  it’s a small, free museum with several different aircraft.  i packed a couple snacks, we put on some sunscreen, and off we went.  there was a lot of space for anabelle to walk around.  she really liked the lava rocks around each display, excited at how the crunched under her feet when she stepped.  there weren’t very many people there, it is really close to the house, the weather was just right, and like i said – it was free!

great idea!

a little exploring & then snack time in the shade

     

anabelle received a fun surprise package in the mail from my mom.  what did we find inside?  well, a hilarious bumble bee costume – of course.  there are even feathers around the top of the tutu skirt.  i couldn’t believe how long she left her antennas on.  there are wings and a wand but those are both covered in glitter so i’m thinking i’ll save those for another day, outdoors  thanks, momma.

pretty little bee

lately she’s been ‘dancing’ with her giraffe.  can’t believe she’s so big now that she can actually reach him.  we weighed in at the gym last week and she’s almost 19 1/2 pounds!

she has her next dr’s appt on the 14th so we’ll get some updated stats then.
