Lola and the Red Balloon

Lola got her first balloon this weekend at the grocery store. It was a big hit. I see lots of balloons in her future.

Swimming

Yesterday, Scott and I took Lola swimming for the first time. She was a little hesitant at first, but by the end she loved it! We went to Optimist Pool in Raleigh with the Scott's brothers and all the kids. Lola loved watching her cousins play.

Lola's feet got a little pruney after spending an hour or so in the pool!

Happy 4th of July

Favorite Things

Growing up, we all had our favorite thing - a special blanket, a stuffed animal, a Cabbage Patch kid or the Millenium Falcon. I often wondered what Lola's favorite would be - the blanket from Kelly, the rabbit from my parents, the bear from Scott's. Lola's current favorite is a dollar bill and a purple mirror from her My Pretty Learning Purse. They are the first toys she looks for in the morning. She carries them around with her when she is crawling. The are always close by. I am sure that many other favorites will come and go but for now the crinkle dollar and the purple mirror are the chosen ones.
