Peeking out at the World

On our walk the sun was in Kaylie's eyes so I draped a blanket over the stroller hood. Kaylie happily spent the next 15 minutes as she rode "peeking" out at the world, holding the blanket tightly in such a way that only her face was showing.

Playground

Kaylie is very active today. We went to the playground and she enjoyed swinging in the baby swing and later holding a pole and walking around and around...

"Sprouts"

Kaylie wore pigtails for the first time today. I call them "sprouts" because they're so tiny and wispy and springy--not really substantial enough yet to be real pigtails. But so cute. Daddy got a picture. She's equally cute from the back with her little spouts sticking out. I carried her in the Baby Bjorn for our walk today and I couldn't stop smiling.

Canopy of Yellow

We found a new park today. A wetland area off Eisenhower. I enjoyed walking under a canopy of yellow. Beautiful!

Grandma and Grandpa...GRRrrrr

Grandma and Grandpa Peters came to stay with us one night at the Pinestead. I was so excited since it was Grandpa that taught me to GRRrrrr. I also got to taste a finger that was dipped in red wine. Most delicious, Grandma! We all got to go outside to a Fall Festival in the afternoon and later in the evening, it was Grandma that rocked and sang me to sleep.

Sand and Lots of Sand

Today Daddy and I walked on the soft sandy beach of Grand Traverse Bay. I was very curious about this "stuff" so I had to plop down and shift it between my fingers. Finally, I just had to taste it. Not good. I would not recommend it.

Walk in the Park

It was a beautiful, sunny yet very windy day today. After work, Mommy, Daddy and I went for a walk on Front Street in downtown Traverse City. I enjoyed sampling many cherry items like cherry jams, mild salsas, and chocolate covered cherries at the Cherry Republic and really enjoyed having my squash dinner at the Veteran's Memorial Park near a babbling stream. I hope that we can have another adventure again tomorrow.
