Before we get into the details of spring and how lovely it is to be able to get the kids outside, LUCY TOOK HER FIRST STEPS!!!!!! Yesterday afternoon, she was standing next to the couch, turned to Ethan and me and took two very purposeful steps. She, as well as E and I, was very proud of herself. This morning she got up to 4 steps on her own!!
Now back to spring and outdoors and pictures (I know that's why you're here)
The first day of spring was not a remarkable day, other then E was the "leader" at school (that means he gets to bring the snack and show and tell for the day). The first weekend of spring has been sensational. Yesterday it was gorgeous outside!
Lucy loves to be outside and would gladly stay there all day. Of course I'm freaked out she'll get a sun burn, even with sunscreen. But, like her mama, she is very fair and has not had a lot of exposure to the harsh Colorado sunlight.
We had a picnic, which you can see Milo finishing up the sandwiches in the background.
Lucy showed us her impression of Daddy chewing on a toothpick. She loves to chew grass, although more times then not this results in me giving her a finger swipe of the mouth to get it out before she gags, ahh motherhood it brings out all the things we swore we'd never do.
Then we had a toy car wash. One bucket of suds, one bucket of clear water and Ethan's toys cars. Never underestimate the entertainment factor of a bucket of water. They both played with it for at least 1/2 an hour (in this house, that is a LONG time)
Then we moved back to the front yard, where we waited for New Mama (Mike's mom), and where the shade had started to come in. Although, would Lucy stay in the shade? I think we all know the answer to that one.

Nope, she crawled all the way across the driveway and into the dirt/mulch. Guess she's not afraid of getting dirty, good thing I don't mind either.
