Blueberry Patch Fun!

We went to the Barrie Hill blueberry pancake festival this past Saturday and what a yummy time it was! After we ate our pancakes we took the tractor out to the blueberry fields and collected a container of blueberries. Loralai liked picking the berries, she ate one but I guess it was a sour one and she spit it out right away, but she loved just being outside walking in the dirt!

Bits and Pieces

I think that this is my favourite Loralai age so far! She is just so much fun, interactive, she can entertain her self for longer periods, she is starting to listen more, she learns new gestures, words, and actions so fast now! It is so amazing and such a pleasure to be able to watch the kind, sweet, driven, a bit stubborn, little person she is, and has become.

#1 - Mommy and Loralai just having hanging out on the floor fun!

#2 - Loralai is trying to walk and dance down the lawn...so hilarious, the picture definitely does not capture the moment well enough!

#3 - Playing with the water table in the backyard on a sunny afternoon.

#4 - Loralai LOVES sitting in boxes! This is one of the boxes that she keeps all of her toys in, she tossed the toys and played with the box lol...always the way!

My favourite picture by far is number #5! Loralai is just the perfect height to climb inside the tupperwear cupboard! I of course had to take her out since it is dangerous, but definitely not before I snapped a picture...so priceless!!

#6 - Loralai took Grandpa's hand to help her walk up the little hill. She had never done that before and it just made me tear up a little bit! Too sweet.

#7 - We have a little garden in front of our house and Loralai loves to just have a seat on stone edging, it is the perfect height to take a break.

#8 - There was a beautiful rainbow that made the day full of rain worth every minute.

You have to get a little messy before you can get clean!

I am the type of mom that feels getting messy is a great way to not only have fun but also to learn!! I have absoultely no qualms about Loralai getting messy, I figure I can always give her a bath and do a load of laundry, while she can get used to using a spoon and love doing it! So below are a few pictures from dinner time, she ate for almost a solid hour tonight! Must be growth spurt time.

Hey Mom, doesn't orange go really well with my blue eyes? lol.

Now time to get clean!!

Do you like my faux hawk??!!

We still bath Loralai in the sink. I figure she still fits in there, it saves our backs, and she still has lots of fun! Plus she does not try to stand and walk around in there!!

Strawberry Picking

We went to the strawberry patch today to pick our own strawberries! We had so much fun, Loralai especially. We road on a tractor, in the patch Loralai stayed in the isle and did not step on any of the strawberries, she of course ate quite a few of them! When we got back to the main gate there was a store that sold frozen yogurt, so we all got one and I shared mine with Loralai, she just went crazy for it! The very last photo is the end result lol.

1 Year Pictures!!

Last Saturday we went to get Loralai's 12 month photo's taken. We just went to a local Zhers store photo studio, they are not profesional photographers but the price was right, and the pictures turned out pretty cute I think! Sorry that they are a little blurry, they are a picture of the picture.
