I’m sad angel baby was sick last night (and missed her 3rd day of daycare today). But I can say I gladly enjoyed a day with her, even if it did start at 3:30 am full of vomit.
And here is our “photo booth” shots while watching Sophia the first on Disney Jr while our Air Conditioning got fixed (hooray!). A hot house is not a happy house, at least not during summer in Texas!
And if you didn’t quite get the mental picture from the still image play by play, here ya go! Doggy tag video ;)
Someone came home blue today…but not in spirit! See the mystery stain on the bottom leg of her cutie patootie pants… Umm, interesting.
Her spirit was good today upon arriving home! She had a little pep in her step, notice her game of tag with the dogs? Yes, she manipulates them into it by stealing their toy and then running around the house screaming for them to follow her, haha!
We got clearance to tune into the video streaming of her daycare classroom at about nap time today to see what she was up to. And she had a little pep in her step there too. One minute she was napping on her mat with her Lenox bunny, her New Zealand Lamb pillow, and a soft pink and white checked elephant blanket; the next minute she is up on her feet trying to wake the little girl near her to get up and play, haha! The girl filling in so the regular teachers could get a lunch break JUST caught her before she “tapped” the other little girl on the leg to wake her! She may not have gotten to play, but one on one cuddle/play with me now time was a success. I swear that poor girl filling in at nap time sat down in the glider with a squirmy Lenox in her lap with the same weary sigh I used to have when it was NAP time, baby. Seriously. ;)
And I don’t know how anyone gets anything done when you can watch your kid on video streaming. I may be in angel baby withdrawal, but ALL I want to do is watch that streaming feed of my little miss and see how she is doing (and see what antics she’s up to, how shes interacting with the other kids, what she’s playing with, if she looks like she’s having fun). Thank goodness it automatically logs me out after about 20ish minutes or I would be glued to the screen!
So daycare got the best of angel baby today, saying she was a superstar - no crying, she ate well and took her nap! Well, daddy and I went to pick her up and she didn’t run into our arms as I’d imagined…she smiled and then went right back to playing!
After tearing angel baby away from her new bestie, brooke (who is 3 days older and just as petite as our little miss), we did a quick grocery stop for milk and bread and then we were homeward bound…to a crabby, crying, screaming, so tired I could spit kind of a baby. Thank God for Disney, because cinderella and her lilting song and whistle helped to soothe the savage beast! There’s that angel baby smile!!!
Our little angel on her first day of daycare. The daycare principal just called and said she went in to check on her and she was sitting in the teachers lap and stood up dancing during music class…apparently she is doing much better than I!
My stomach is a pit of despair, I miss my baby so much. Ok, back to training. I am learning the hubby’s business systems so I can help him grow his business! Hey, at least I get to work from home for now - just down the street from my baby love. I can go snatch her up at a moments notice if necessary (now…?! no? Hmm, ok…)!
I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard…bless her little heart!
Apparently pool turns Chris into “hey you guuuuuuuys” from the goonies, makes ralfie glow like an angel, and turns Jamie into xena warrior princess…interesting.
Showing off her adorable new zebra outfit. While holding a want-to-be-zebra-horse and standing in front of a zebra painting! Thank you, aunt Kay and aunt Marilyn!
Can you spot the tiny ninja?
Unlikely besties, kya and her surrogate aunt Talie :)
And a few fun snippets of angel baby! Cropped and edited. Just a little mama iPhone app fun! Camera awesome app if you’re interested!
Aaaand our final stop before sno-cones, Barton Creek! Clear water at a crisp 68 degrees, people and puppies alike enjoying the beauty of nature. And don’t miss the last picture, this man was balancing rocks into the most amazing “sculptures” in the creek. I think he just must have been part of the magic of Zilker park. :) (and he is in good shape from all that rock lifting, that’s 2 kids in the water with him - one standing just in front of him in my shot, haha! My mom said “wow he’s a big guy for all that rock exercise…”)
Now, did we come prepared for an impromptu swim? Nope! But a baby minus a diaper (figured that out the hard, sopping wet diaper way) plus their pants - and a mama in shorts - made for a “this’ll do!” way to jump in, splash around, make new friends, and enjoy the Austin-ness of our town! Boy, wish I’d been taking advantage of the wonderful things we are privy to in Austin long ago!
If you have any other spots we should check out, please let me know! Operation Baby-venture is in full swing! I’m hoping for at least one cool Austin-ey thing to do and try and see a week and could use y’all’s help to find our next baby-venture outing! Yippee!
Zilker playground fun after the train! Jenny asked Eva to hold Lenox’s hand, awww, so cute!!! AND the first time L would swing in the baby swing, hooray! Must be the magic of Zilker :)
A Zilker park Baby-venture with our favorite PT, Miss Jenny and her adorable daughter Eva! Miss Jenny was Lenox’s Physical Therapist when she was a preemie baby in need of a bit of help developing her skills to hit her baby milestones.
Miss Jenny grew up in Austin and even has a picture of her mom and her in the tunnel on the Zilker Zephyr just like this! So we had to snap a shot of her and Eva to match :) So glad Jenny asked us along on their adventure! Crazy I never even knew of this little treasure in our own town!
More posts to come on the rest of our Zilker fun to come (only 10 pics per post, so splitting this fun day up into sections - it’s way too hard to edit out photos, so I just post them all)!
Someone is bound and determined to be a part of EVERYTHING that happens in our house. Including being besties with all of our 4 legged babies and getting in on the snuggling/play action.
