How do you keep a baby clean during strawberry season?

Notice the tears in her eyes in these last pictures, she dropped her strawberry in the dirt so I had to take it away and get her another one...it was almost the end of the world.

Carousel Ride with Daddy

This past weekend Casey went on her first carousel ride. I don't think she knew exactly what was going on but she had her daddy by her side so she stayed on it the whole time...however she spent a lot of time hugging him.

Beach Day

A while ago Paul and bought Casey her first set of beach toys and with the warm up in the weather we finally got a chance to break them out. Casey had lots of fun digging in the sand...I can't wait for summer.

15 months, where did the last 2 months go?

Casey has been a lot of fun in the last 2 months, she is learning and growing so much everyday. She has started saying her first real words and they are not mommy or daddy, she says doggy, Jakey, and up....I guess I know what is most important to her. In the past 2 months she has gotten all 4 of her eye teeth, ouch, and she has seemed to develop a whole lot of attitude, she is a girl that knows what she wants. Feeding her has gotten a bit more challenging as she doesn't seem that excited about baby food anymore and she has not yet really taken to adult food. She loves crackers, cheese, yogurt, and fruit. What Casey loves most is being outside, she gives me a workout chasing her all around. We have been spending lots of time outside at the softball fields, running around on the green belt behind the house, gardening in Grammy and Grampy's backyard, we have even gone the beach and to Poway Lake to feed the ducks (those ducks are crazy, they will peck your fingers off if you are not careful). Casey has gotten more adventurous and daring which lead to her first skinned knee a but it didn't stop her from running around like a crazy baby. I just love watching her grow up!
