Fun in the Sun!

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Memphis and since we have had so much rain in the last few weeks Lilly and I were just itching to soak up some rays and enjoy such a beautiful day. We started out the day with a fun filled morning playing with Wilson since Amanda was rounding at the hospital and then met at Davis Kidd for storytime and then to Salsa for some yummy lunch. The kids were great and enjoyed their lunch while giving Amanda and I a few peaceful moments to talk over chips and cheese dip. After lunch we headed our separate ways to put the kids down for naps. Lilliana slept like a champ, for almost 3 hours and then was ready for even more fun!

I decided since it was still so sunny and warm outside that we would try out this new toy that Clay and I were able to pick up last weekend at Toys R Us while Nana was watching Lilly for a couple hours. It was such a hit and I had trouble getting my little water baby out of it! Such a great purchase and so easy to maintain. You don't have to worry about inflating anything, because when you connect the hose the water does it all for you! I was a little concerned that she would be scared at first but that was far from the truth. We are going to have so much fun with it this summer :)

Grandmother and Poppie were coming over and came bearing gifts themselves with a fun little ride on/push toy that she can also play with outside. I have been wanting to get one of these also for Lilly but thought after last weekend we had probably spent enough so I was so glad when Marilyn called to see if she would enjoy one. Of course she did and loves to push it back and forth on the patio. her little legs aren't long enough yet for her to sit on it and scoot but she can get herself going pretty good when she leans to the side and uses one foot! She is too funny!!

Then if that wasn't enough, we had also ordered her a new Step 2 Kangaroo Climber and according to the tracking it was also on its way. I was so excited, probably more than her, because it stated it wouldn't be there until the 18th when I originally ordered it so I was so pleasantly surprised when it showed up on my doorstep. Clay quickly put it together, and then we officially had our own park in the backyard. She is such a little monkey and now scared of anything so we figured this would be the best option money could buy for now. You can see in some of the pics the stool behind it, sweet little lovin is a little too short and was having trouble getting up on the step so we put a stool there for her. I have a feeling we are going to have to get used to doing things like this :)
