1. Turning on the AC to keep your cool2. Itchy, watery eyes and the color yellow EVERYWHERE
3. Strawberry picking!
We missed out on picking last year because we kept putting it off. Next thing you know, the strawberries were all gone. Not this year...we were going to get Madison out there as soon as we could. On Friday, the
weather was perfect. We packed Madison into the car and headed up the street for a little strawberry picking. It didn't take Madison long to figure out that the red ones were good and the green ones were not so good. Not only were the red ones good, they were VERY TASTY! She couldn't eat them fast enough. Thank goodness we didn't have to weigh her before and after, we would have had to pay for another bucket! In all seriousness, she didn't eat THAT many, but she would have if we let her. Madison had a blast and we'll have to go picking again real soon. I think we'll get our fill of strawberries this season and its so worth it to see Miss Lace's face all covered in strawberry juice and just having a great time!!!This weekend Jeff and I have noticed that she really is walking more. Where she would used to take a few steps here and there she's really spending more time on her feet. Practice, practice, practice. She'll walk from the garage door to the couch (a good distance if you don't know) and then back to the garage door. Walk, walk, walk. She's even getting better at walking in our very unlevel lawn. Our neighbor, Mary, is enjoying Madison as much as we are. Yesterday everytime Madison saw Mary she would call out to her and want her attention. We've also made friends with the girls that live behind us...Madison wants to go over to visit with them every chance she gets. If there weren't all those trees, leaves and branches blocking her way she'd be over there in a heartbeat. She loves playing with the big girls! Madison sure is starting to become a little girl and at such an early age already showing her independence. Jeff and I are having a blast...everyday there is something new, you just have to take the time to spot it!
