Rain, Rain, Go Away!

After Nap #1 today, we got all ready to go out for a ride in the wagon...a scattered storm cloud came over us right as we were about to leave, so it was back indoors. Nature Girl was very upset so we waited out the shower in the Playroom.

It only lasted for a little bit, so here we are minutes later..

Marianna loves a wagon ride! Everytime we go outside to play, it is immediately to the wagon and she says "In, In" until she gets a ride. Everyday she finds some way to make me laugh. We have gone on several walks now since getting the wagon. Today, she spent 50% of the walk laying back on the pillow looking up at the clouds until a car comes by and then she pops back up. She just looked so funny relaxing in the wagon...we got several comments from neighbors on the walk that it must have been a hard day for her :) Here is the Queen of Sheba...


DJ and I think she is definately going to be a chatterbox (shocker). She has several "words" or ways of communicating. Here is her list: This, There, Did it, and In. Also, we hear her trying to say Ball, Duck, Doggie and Kitty. Oh, and the biggest treat yet: Ma! Sometimes it is Mama, but mainly Ma! I cracked this code yesterday that Marianna refers to herself as "Na-Na". We have several pictures of her around the house and she will point and say "Na-Na". Most often, she just babbles on and on and on, especially when DJ and I are talking she will try to talk over us in her babble and we think she thinks that it one big discussion. Almost one week until the big first birthday, where has the time gone??

Here are some more random photos from the day...(I am playing around with Photoshop black and whites and other features...)
