Spring? In February?

Today was a wonderful wonderful day. Not only because it was Valentines Day but the mounds of snow are melting and the weather was BEE-utiful for February (temp in the upper 40's). So after we ate our heart-shaped pancakes we headed outside to enjoy the spring air.
Last fall, Papa and Grandma Christy (Nick's Dad and Step-Mom) gave Lauren this little tykes gym/slide type thing. Well for the entire winter its been stored in our backyard (under snow) so today we uncovered it and she played on it for the first time....she LOVES it! Thanks Papa and Grandma :)


I especially love being a stay at home mom now that Lauren is starting to play. Don't get me wrong I love babies and I don't want to wish her life away but she's interacting and she understands what we say and most of the time she will respond in her own version of mumbo jumbo. But its great because most of the time I understand her (nobody else does but I do)!

Another gift that Lauren got last year (for her Birthday) was this fisher price lawnmower. Last fall she wasn't able to play with it because she didn't start walking until 13 months (she was a little behind, but its okay:) and by the time she was steady on her feet it was well into winter. Here are some cute pictures of her "mowing the concrete" as we called it. The grass was icky and slushy and still full of snow. But instead of "pushing" the lawnmower she "pulled" the mower. So for those of you who are wondering how to mow the cement.... that's how we do. :)
