We play in the park

Wrennie has some rules about playing in the park.

Rule 1: Don't stop the swing for a photo. Wren will think her fun swing time is over and become miffed.

Is this not the most beautiful season? I don't know if I have ever had a chance to spend this much time outside during the day. I have usually been working up until Wren, so spending fall with my big girl has been amazing!

I just took her to get weighed and measured today. 24lbs 4oz and still 30.25 in long. 10 months old and she hasn't exactly plateaued yet. Good for her!

Wren could take her meals and naps in this swing if we let her. Woe to the person who has to take her out.

Rule 2: Distract her immediately after departing from swing. Maybe place on play structure to see what she thinks. It seems to rate a 4 out of 10 so far by the look on her face...

Rule 3: Just because you introduce her to something new at the playground like a fun and exciting slide (that hopefully some little punk didn't pee on earlier that week), don't expect her to give a rip about it because it's still not a swing.

This sweater kills me. How does Joe Clothing come up with such cute stuff for babies. Kenton and I both want one in an adult size.

Is it sad that Wren's shoes were only $10 less than mine? Those jerks that design awesome baby clothes know we get suckered into cute stuff so easily for our kids...

Time for a smoke break...aka twig/leaf/grass -stuff-in-mouth-break.

Finally, a great photo of Wren's favourite thing next to a swing...being thrown up in the air!
Rule 5: Being thrown into the air may be almost as good as a swing. Almost.
