A few times over the past couple of months, I have thought about writing in this blog. But I always thought that I didn't have enough time to write about everything that has happened. And then more stuff would happen, and I get further behind in writing. So I am going to start writing about what is going on currently.
Today, I was thinking of taking the baby to daycare so that I could get a few more things done around the house on my day off, but when I got up, it was actually nice out. We haven't had much of a summer in the way of weather, so I decided to keep her home and take her to the beach. It would be the first time I have ever taken her to a beach, and she is almost 19 months old! It took forever to get everything packed and get her ready!! I was getting a little frustrated, especially when she kept running away from me when I was trying to put her sunscreen on! But we finally were ready to go. She looked so cute in her bathing suit and skirt!!! By the time we were ready, the weather had clouded over, and it looked like it may rain. But I thought, its not raining yet, seize the day! So we drove for about 45 min and got to the beach (O.P.) Its pretty private, which I love. She went right over to the water and put her feet in, then hands, etc. She also started throwing rocks in the water and loved the sounds they made. That's probably the first thing that made her smile. She was very serious today for some reason! But she had a ball playing in the water, throwing rocks and shells, and walking barefoot in the sand.
We were walking down the beach, and a woman yelled out to us. When I looked up, she was very far away, walking with a dog, and waving. I thought that was weird.... But waved and kept on our way. About a half an hour later, she was closer, and baby was at the water concentrating on playing with rocks and shells. I noticed the dog running towards her. He didn't look to be threatening, but was running towards her pretty fast. I was knelt down beside her. She didn't notice the dog until he was a few feet away from her and it scared her so bad. She actually screamed "AHHHH" and shook :'( I felt soooo bad. Even thinking about it now, just the sound of that scream :'( it was terrible. I picked her up and comforted her and said look at the puppy, what does a puppy say, etc and she was fine. She was even pointing and waving to him.
A little while later another couple came by and they were talking to her and waving. She loved it and waved back. We stayed for about an hour, but had to leave because 1) mommy was silly and drank coffee before we got to the beach... and 2) baby threw her hat in the river and mommy didn't have another one.....
BB had a little nap on the way home, and when I got home, there was a msg from a friend saying a few of our friends were meeting and taking the kids to a playground if we wanted to meet them. BB was sound asleep in the car, and she usually sleeps for about an hour and a half to 2 hours, or more.... and then I had to feed her lunch. It was 12 and they were meeting at 1230, so I knew I wouldn't have time. I FB a msg saying I could'nt, and bb woke up right when I hit send. So I took her in, got her changed, fed her and drove back into town to meet them. It was fun. BB took to the little water park, which really surprised me, since she doesn't like water on her head in the bath. But at the center of this park were a bunch of buckets high up that would fill wtih water and then dump a ton of water, hard and fast. She kept wanting to go towards them, but she is still small, and that would flatten her lol. So I had to keep pulling her away from them and steering her towards the water that sprays up from the ground, which she loved. We got a freezie for her and a baby ice cream for me, which she got a bit of too lol. Then she started getting a bit tired, because she really didn't have a proper nap, just in the carseat. We played in the little playground for a while, and one of the girls' dads played with us. He kept saying how he couldn't believe how much bb understands for her age. He had her sliding down the slides and peeking out of the tube that connects the slide and the stairs. We had a great time. Then it was tempertantrum time when I wanted to hold her and head to the car, and she wanted to be down and running around. She fell asleep in the car again, and kept sleeping even when I put her in her crib. She only slept for about a half an hour at home, which was fine. Gane me just enough time to start supper, etc.
My mom and step dad came over for a quick visit. They had a great time watching her "dan" ie:dance and she learned how to jump yesterday, so she was jumping and giggling. Absolutely love that girl.
