Our Little K. and N.: April 2009

Friends

My friend and her three-month-old were over to play the other day. K. was, of course, interested in the baby. He was playing on a blanket and his mom was bicycling his legs, so she let K. try. She was so sweet with him!

I know the next picture isn't of great quality, but I though K's happiness in it was so cute!

(P.S. Her friend is super-cute--sorry I didn't get anything but the top of his head in these pictures)

Snacking Cuteness

K. and I went to hang out with some of her friends (and mine) during their spring break. K., who will not smile for me if there is a camera anywhere in the vicinity, was cheesing it up for my friend, who graciously gave me a copy of this photo.

A Horse With a Name

K. has a new trusty companion, a rocking horse who she has fondly named "Neigh." She will address Neigh by name and the other morning when I was changing her out of her PJs, she kept asking to ride.

She even took her cat "cat" along for a ride.

Happy Easter!

A few highlights from Easter. It was pretty chilly, thus the coat over her dress, but it was beautifully sunny outside.

"Hi!"

But the highlight, perhaps, was that our next-door neighbor brought over a snake for her to look at. She was very interested.

K. at church with her sweetly coordinated friends. Someday she, too, will learn to smile on command.

Hunting and Gathering

We went to an easter egg hunt at church (we went last year, too, but she didn't do any hunting). This year she was able to carry her bucket around and collect eggs. She's not particularly agressive, and if another kid got in her way she'd just sort of stand there, but hopefully she'll learn to stand up for herself at some point.

With friend L., who, when finished collecting eggs of her own, came over to help K. with hers. Too cute!

"Lookie what I have in my basket!"

"Come on, Dad, let's go eat* some of this!"

*Note: no candy was actually consumed by the little one on this day, but she busted through several packages of fruit snacks. Oh, well. It's only once a year.

A Day at the Museum

We went with our friends to the Children's Museum again, and it was a fantastic time. K. was old enough to do many of the activities--play at a water table, play at a sand table (though fortunately did the water after the sand), and visit a lot of the exhibits to play. That, unfortunately, means I spent all of my time watching her and playing with her, and not taking photos. Here are some pictures from lunch:

"Where did my friend S. go? There she is!"

Overcoming Obstacles

We received an inflatable obstacle course/ball pit from a friend who was done with it. Dad was nice enough to inflate it with his air compressor, and K. had a great time playing with it.
