This week’s pictures are pretty funny, I think.
We were spending the afternoon at my parents’ house, and Leah was e.n.t.h.r.a.l.l.e.d. by Mom’s birdbath. She couldn’t get over the idea of a teeny little pool of water that we were letting her play in. It probably seemed too good to be true.
In any case, I was chatting with my parents while Leah explored the magical pool of water. The funny part of the pictures, to me, is watching the progression of my facial expression and stance.
Picture #1: “Hmm….do I want her playing in that? It’s kinda gross….”
Picture #2: “I’m thinking….no. Especially if you're going to drink it. Come on, honey.”
Picture #3: “Oh, okay. You’re just gonna wash off your rocks…oh, and okay….and then you’re going to give them to me. All right. Mommy will hold them.”
Picture #4: “Carry on, sweetheart. Have fun.”

I can see myself doing the exact same thing.
First a "no" then figuring, we can clean her off later!
Super cute.

Love the pictures. Sometimes it's just easier to let them play in the mucky water and clean them up later. :)
I agree, we first said no and later let them play. Nice pictures.

Aw! That's so cute! Noelle isn't nearly that capable and I always find myself wavering back and forth between letting her or not letting her play with things. Her favorite thing right now is remote controls...oh and cell phones. Anything with buttons that light up. So I usually let her play with them until the amount of drool she's producing threatens to kill them. Then, I'll give her her own--which are dead ones that don't light up. It seems to satisfy her well enough.
Jess, I can't believe how good you look after having a baby! You seem to have gotten your body back quite nicely! I think I hit a snag on my road back to my pre-prego body with the whole back thing because I wasn't able to move around, and I was depressed so I ate lots and lots of cookies. Not a good combo. GOod thing I'm still breastfeeding most of the time because I can still pretty much eat whatever I want and not gain too much. Well, normally I still lose, but when I'm just lying around it doesn't work that way!
Anyway, you look great!
Such cute photos!
It thrills me to breathlessness that she (and Ashley Marie) love being out in my yard. These are great pictures!
And Becca is right. You look terrific!
Those are very cute.
So cute!
These are really cute. And, I too loved watching your body language. Sometimes it's so hard to find the balance. You want them to be free to learn independently, get dirty and discover... but you just also have this crazy compulsion to ENSURE SAFETY ABOVE ALL.
It's so hard to not feel like a nag.
Thanks for sharing this mom moment!
