backyard shenanigans
It's been hot.
Yes.
I know it's July and we're all feeling the heat,
but it's hot.
That means, unless we're at the pool, you can find us outside for morning walks, in small doses through the day, or in the evening for some backyard shenanigans.
These shenanigans usually involve pressing the 'door bell' on the castle numerous times, listening to the princess music, and spinning until we're dizzy.
But backyard shenanigans are the best when Dad gets home just in time to join in on the fun.

big sister outtakes
When I began thinking about announcing this pregnancy I had visions of including Lauren in some darling little photo.
After I ordered some big sister books, I thought a photo shoot of our in-house book worm studying up on being a big sister was simply perfect.
You know, just like the ones you see on Pinterest.
Except it didn't quite turn out that way.
looks thrilled, doesn't she?

five things
...Lauren's been up to this summer.
{1} Pool time/Splash Pad
With the dreaded Texas heat upon us, the splash pad and pool have been bit hits for us as of late. Lauren loves the water so we've also clocked in some hours at our neighborhood pool and the Fisher's backyard.
Lauren also began swimming lessons last week, which are going wonderfully. She attends on Wednesday evenings with Dad who has been great {much better than mom} at helping Lauren to get her whole face in the water.
{2} Fourth of July Parade
We attended the city's annual 4th of July parade and this girl got a lot of of waving & 'Hi's' in.
Especially to the horses & the Chik-fil-A cow.
She also watched fireworks from the backyard. With no issues.
One less thing we have to worry about next year.
{3} Little Helper
That Texas heat sometimes keeps us inside, so one thing that has kept us busy & happy this summer is baking.
{4} Baseball
The Royals were in town and we couldn't not go.
Lauren sported her new Esky shirt from Uncle Tyler and lasted until the bottom of the 8th.
On a Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, she has also now seen a Royals loss.
{5} Morning Walks
We love to go on walks.
It's been part of a routine since Lauren was itty-bitty.
And in this weather, we switch it up a little bit and take our walks first thing in the morning.
After breakfast, of course.
It sort of reminds me of our Colombian days, when I took her out first thing in the morning and walked around the bay.
I'm really hoping baby #2 enjoys walks {or is just as good in a stroller} as his/her big sister.
That being said, my double stroller hunt is on...
... any suggestions??

Week 13 - 15
You only see one picture here.
Yes, I know.
Long version:
Traveling home from two weeks of vacay coupled with a bit of pregnancy brain meant there was no Week 13 picture.
Then at 13w 3d I skipped ahead to 14w 3 d, so a week 14 picture does not exist.
Short version:
Oops.
I did it again.**
**how long have I been blogging??
And this is my first Britney reference....
