Busy Weekends- From Laine's Eyes

We've had a few very busy weekends! Two weeks ago, we went to the Issaquah Farmer's Market, where Mommy and Daddy showed me all kinds of fruits and veggies, and (shhhhh...don't tell,) gave me the tiniest taste of homemade cherry ice cream. I had a great time, although a few times I suddenly started crying. I was fine after a few seconds, but the crowds scared me a bit.
We stopped by Fisher Meats in Issaquah to pick something up for dinner. When we got home I played and laughed for the rest of the afternoon, and Daddy brought my Command Center outside so I could jump on the deck while they grilled steaks.


I haven't learned to crawl yet, but I am more mobile than ever before. The past two weeks, I've learned how to get up on my haunches and rock back and forth, and then scoot backwards. That's how I ended up by the coffee table and found Mommy's plastic apples!
Last weekend was what Memorial Day SHOULD have been like. It was beautiful all weekend and we were busy again! On Saturday, I was a very, very good girl. I played on the deck surrounded by cushions (just in case I tumbled over) and watched Mommy and Daddy work in the yard. Then, it was time to meet a pony!
Our neighbor was turning four and she thought I might like to sit on a pony and have Mommy take my picture! Mommy's pretty sure I didn't even know that I was sitting on an animal, but I did see the horsie's face and gave him a once over.
I got lots of time to cuddle with Daddy and give him loves.
Then it was time to go swimming! Mommy blew up my new crab pool and even though it has a cover to keep the sun away, Daddy put it in the shade. Mommy also put sunscreen on me anyway--boy are they protective! I heard Mommy say that my skin and hair are so fair that it would be easy for me to burn. I see a lot of hats in my future!

I had a great time playing with toys in the water, and wearing one of my new bathing suits. I kept busy for a long time and was pretty wound up--I knew I needed a nap but I didn't really want to take one. I finally dozed off and woke up in time to eat dinner and practically go right back to bed!


On Sunday, we met up with Andrew, Kate, their son Ben and their new baby Ty. We ate at Kona Kitchen and I sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time! I played and looked around, and chatted with everyone. Mommy was so proud of me.
We headed over to the Maple Leaf park nearby, but poor Ben wasn't feeling well and the Heidergotts headed home. I hope Ben feels better soon, I was looking forward to playing with him! I also wanted to get my picture taken with him and little Ty. Next time! We stayed for a little while and tried out the swings, which I liked even better than the ones at OUR neighborhood park.


When we got home, Mommy did more yard work and prepared for Desiree, our favorite photographer, who was coming on Monday for my second round of pictures. I'm looking forward to next weekend, when I can cuddle with Daddy on Father's Day, and give my Grandpas kisses!
