Baby, You're a Firework - A Week Late

Everyone shares their holidays a week late, right? Our first "big event" after Bean was born was July 4th. We didn't travel to visit family, but we had our own little cookout at home and ventured out to the local Town Commons for a beautiful fireworks display. There was a ton of walking involved between the car and the lawn and back. Add a massive stroller system and a toddler and I was super tired and sore by the end of the night. S loved the fireworks with remarks like, "Wow, beautiful!" and "Super cool!" after almost each one was set off. Bean slept the whole time. I'd forgotten how loud fireworks were and freaked out, putting my hands over her ears after the first one, but she was none the wiser.

So I hope everyone had a very happy Fourth of July with friends and family. Better late than never, right?

Little Yellow Sunshine

The sun was quite literally shining very brightly, so S had a hard time looking at the camera. I was getting frustrated at first, and then I remembered how when it's really bright, I make my husband count to three while I keep my eyes closed and open them at the last second. Because she's so adorable and looks like a little tye-dye ray of light, I let it slide.

 This bunny has become an extension of our family. When you pet him, he makes little bunny sounds and walks a few steps. Last week, his name was Brobee, after S' favorite Yo Gabba Gabba character. I think it's changed since then. I'll update you when she says it out loud.

Lucky Little Green One

If green is the color of lucky, how lucky am I?

S and I shopped the big Easter sale at Old Navy yesterday and got a handful of things for warmer weather. Here's a list, if you're interested!

Smocked-Linen Skirts (Chambray)

Ruffle Flutter Sleeve Dress (Yellow)

+ 1 Rainbow Print Chevron Dress (can't find online)

Ruffled Chiffon Maxi Dress

I also got two pairs of cropped linen pants a lot like these, but the ones I have aren't online. And mine are teal and berry! YAY! And... they fit me like full-length pants! WOO!
