Swimming Backwards

We are finally getting our hot weather back.  This means that Mallory and I can go back outside.

I had her help me weed the garden.  Since we have raised beds she can stand next to them – which she loves!  When I pull her away to go she throws her little fit.

However, you must keep a close eye on her because she likes to eat the dirt.  I caught her with a HUGE clump of dirt in her mouth.  We are talking like the size of a grape… not nothing little.  I removed the clump, but she still had a mouth full of gritty dirty dirt. 

Then she likes to pick the plants instead of the weeds.  She tortured a pea plant.  Tried to eat a potato plant leave.  If she would only eat the lunch I provide her then she wouldn’t have to resort to eating my plants and dirt.  : )

Yesterday I took her baby tub outside, filled it with water and toys and let her go to town.  I thought she would be a little more into it then she was.

 

Until she discovered my lens cap on the ground and went crawling for it.

She even tried to put it back on while I am trying to take pictures of her.

The last month or so I went back to Auto on my camera.  I don’t know why… I think I was just lazy and didn’t want to think about all the steps in manual mode.  But during this outing I went back to manual mode.  I need to stay here because the colors are so much brighter when in manual vs. auto… at least I think so.

 

My crawler took off! 

 

 

Just in case you were thinking… Aw Mally’s swimsuit is so cute.  Um, it might be even more cute if her Mommy didn’t put it on backwards!!!

I didn’t notice it was backwards until we were almost done outside and she got away from me and I looked at her and thought… why does this show so much of your diaper?  That looks really stupid and not appropriate for babies.  Then I look to see if I have it on right, nope!  It is backwards!
