Flowers & more....

Now that we are living with Marcus' parents, Jaelyn gets the added benefit of running around & playing outside in their backyard. She loves it! She lets me know when she wants to play outside 'cause she'll go up to the door that leads to the deck and reach for the handle to open it...while saying, "peese, peese!". She thinks all the flowers Opa planted are gorgeous and even tries to smell them (see above pic!).

Jaelyn loves to follow Opa around when he's outside. Here she's gazing at the garden he planted.

The netting is supposed to keep the critters out of the corn he planted...but it didn't keep Jaelyn out!! Oops...sorry Opa!

Hmmmm....a dandelion!

One of the fun things Opa taught Jaelyn was how to say "bee"! There are tons of bees flying around because a lot of the flowers are in bloom right now...so when she's feeling up to it, she'll go around pointing at all the flowers and say bee. (And normally there are bees going in/out of them!). We still can't get her to say mommy, yet!! One of these days she 'll melt my heart with that word!! I can't wait. :)

Here is a fun picture I pulled up for comparison. Jaelyn is about 5 wks old in this picture....posing in front of the same rhododendron bush! Wow....so much has changed since then!! :)
