Babies

B loves to take care of her babies. Everything that she has to do her babies have to do too. She is very motherly.

B is putting her babies in the rocking chair and making sure they are nice and warm with their blankets.

B even has to show her babies what she is looking at out the window (or in the kitchen sink or in a book...).

It is lunch time, so one baby gets to sit in the "big chair" and the other baby is getting strapped into the booster seat.

Nigh'-Nigh'

B's new favorite place to go nigh'-nigh' is on the fireplace. First she has to lay all of her blankets out just right, then she puts her head on the hearth and covers herself with another blanket. It is really sweet, but never actually leads to any kind of sleep.

Camping

B and I went camping with my parents Monday. We do not rough it by any means. Also, we were close enough to D's parents that they were able to visit us for the evening. Both B and I enjoyed our time.

B was a Papa's girl.

We were able to go swimming and B had a blast. She has to do as much as possible on her own. Here is her attempt at floating on her stomach. She actually did very well.

B was really experimenting with how moving her body in the water allows her to float or move in a certain direction.

Papa was playing Ladder Golf with B. Any game that has balls that you throw is bound to be a good time for B. Later she decided moving them from one stand to the other was just as fun.

Grandma's are always prepared to entertain their grandchildren with bubbles, games, snack, you name it they will have it. B had lots of bubbles to chase.

Another game that Papa and B enjoyed was Bean Bag Toss. As soon as Papa would throw the bag B would run over and put it in the hole. She knew how to get the most points possible.

At the campground there was a B sized swing set, and guess who she wanted to push her? Papa.

Cooking

B likes to pretend to cook. This time she needed help from Daddy. We have a drawer of extra cooking utensils for B and she had to empty the whole thing to make this treat...Can you guess what it is?

It's Ice Cream, of course!

Cookies

Mommy had to make cookies and B needed to help. Daddy actually helped too, but he was the one taking pictures this time.

Mommy and B stirring the cookies.

The cookies were chocolate, which B absolutely loves, so she had to have a taste.

Can you tell how much she enjoyed them?

Laundry

B loves to "help" with all the chores. One of her favorites is doing the laundry.

Even though I wasn't planning on putting this load of laundry in, B found the pile of clothes on the floor and decided to put the whole thing in the washer.

Cows?

B wasn't feeling good at the beginning of this week, so we had to spend a lot of time inside. B and I spent a bit of time downstairs where it was really cool since she was running a fever. Of course, she couldn't sit still and rest even though she was sick. She was less 2 while she wasn't feeling well (less whining, crying, etc.). That didn't make much sense to me, but I was thankful.

B set up her fence and kept asking for the cows. We don't have any cows for her, so she called herself a cow. I think she would have settled for Denka (the cat) being a cow if she could have kept her in the fence.
