BIG GIRL BED, Peaches, Wyatts - Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we went to pick apples and peaches at The Farm at Agritopia. This is right next door to our favorite - The Coffee Shop and it was 75 out! Glorious! We had a scone on the patio and Liberty went around to pet all the doggies at The Coffee Shop. After that, the Wyatt's came for a visit and we got a mattress for Liberty's new bed, build the bed, and played at the park. It was a great great visit on our last cool temp weekend. p.s. She slept through the night in her bed bed!!! Naptime the next day was rough since she kept messing with the window shutters and playing with her stuffed animals. Daddy worked on the windows (blackout and keeping closed) so hopefully today's nap goes better! It took her 1.5 hours to fall asleep last nap - but she never did get out of the bed at least:)

Fun Summer Weekend

BABY BUMP PICTURE! (12.5 weeks along). Liberty caring for a babydoll. Swimming in our pool. Pickin' Peaches at Schnepf Farms. We live a charmed life.

Two-Dad

Two-Dad had an unexpected trip to the hospital and is home now recovering with the help of some additional nursing care. My family took a last minute trip down to Tucson to see him and he was thankfully having a good day.

Another baby!

And baby makes 4! I'm 10 weeks pregnant and we are thrilled to be expecting a new little Wyatt around November 28th, 2012! We find out in July if Liberty is getting a baby brother or sister. I've felt fine these past 10 weeks - just INCREDIBLY tired (like fall asleep on the playroom floor at 10am and 4pm tired - carry on Libs). I hope my night-owl ways return soon - I haven't been able to keep up with my bookclub. Anyway, here is our little gummy-bear:

You've Got Mail!

Aren't these the sweetest hairclips you've ever seen?! They were a surprise gift in the mailbox from lovely Molly!

Zoo with Mommy and Daddy

Our ZOO membership runs out April 30th and we probably won't renew until fall 2013, so we've been trying to cram in as many trips to the Zoo as we can while the weather holds out. One particular Sunday was cool enough and we decided to go do everything we have never done before - like pet the Stingrays!, and ride the camel!, and ride the carousel (okay that one we do alllllll the time). It was a great time together.

Imagination

Liberty's favorite toy had really got her imagination going. I drop in on her playing in the playroom to ask her about what she's been working hard at: moving the human family out of the doll house and turning it into a dog/cat house. 4 min video... Liberty playing with her "new dogs and cats"

Butterflies at Desert Botanical Gardens

A morning spent with 1000+ butterflies and friends. Not too shabby.

Miss-letter-obsessed has started to sing her ABCs. Pretty cute.

Thanks Uncle Thom!

Liberty's great-uncle Thom sent her a CHEW CHEW train dining set for her birthday. It converts from a serious train to a cup and plate etc. for mealtime. She likes it a lot!
