Fishing Trip

School is keeping me all kinds of busy this semester, but we were able to spend some quality time together last weekend.

The Doodle has been begging us to take him fishing lately. I don't know what put it into his head, but he has been obsessed with it. Finally the weather was warm enough that we were able to go.



Of course, he was only patient for about the first five minutes. And I'm not sure that he entirely understood that they were trying to catch actual fish. We did have fun sitting outside and watching the ducks and geese, though.



Silly Ladybug. She had her 15 month appointment today and all was well. She is such a goofball and so sweet and precious and ornery all at the same time. It is so much fun to watch her and Atticus playing together and laughing at each other.

Her favorite new words is BUBBLES!! She doesn't just say it, she exclaims it, every time. There is a hand motion that goes with it too that she made up herself. We are thrilled about BUBBLES around here. She also exclaims it when she sees balloons (and strangely enough, grated Parmesan cheese. I think because she loves both bubbles and Parmesan so much.)

Other new words: She loves saying Bye! and waving goodbye to people. She goes to the door and begs to go play "'side." She says milk, off, yes, no-no-no, Bubba, Dada, Momma, and "Atts!" (for Atticus).
