Need a pick me up?

This should do it. 

Yesterday, I took Helen to the park down the street again. Even though she can't "play" on all the equipment just yet, she loves to watch the other big kids and seems to enjoy the change in scenery. I brought a few blankets and toys, we spread out in the shade and enjoyed the beautiful weather for a while (highs in the low 80s, lows in the 60s all week = AMAZING). 

She was really going for my water bottle - so I started making a "glug glug glug" noise when she put her mouth on it and well it ended in a pretty awesome giggle session. I watched it about 10 times after she went to bed last night - definitely cracks me up.

(double click and let it take you to Youtube if you want to see the video larger. And yes I typed that for my mom) :) hahaha

I also snapped a few good pictures.

Love this face. Complete with giant scratch to the eye (& it was kind of swollen).

Tryin out the swings. I think we're still a little small for these! Though she seemed to love them - fearless.

haha. such a little ham.

Still laughing from the water bottle. Score one for mom.
