TuTus from Tita

So yesterday while at the park I took a lot of photos of Lydia and uploaded a lot of raw, unedited images. While that's nice, I also do enjoy editing pictures and adding a little splash of color here and there, although with these decorative tutus, you hardly needed more color. They are beautiful, vibrant gifts from my Mother-in-law, Olga Hernandez, for Lydia (Tita is Grandma's nickname- short for abuelita). They've been hanging in her closet waiting for her to fatten up to fit in them - at this rate it could take forever haha. I thought today was the perfect day to test them out. 

She reminds me of why I fall in love with her, every day.

 

Yes.. I am quoting Queen's song, "Born to Love You" ;)

I had to edit this one.. it just makes me laugh. I kept having to move her to the blank
wall for pictures and she's crying because I moved her and she wanted to play hehe..

She loves butterflies - has them on her walls in her room. She likes touching the wall stickers
and knows what I mean when I say butterflies. That's why I added that. :)

Nothin' But Blue Skies

I took Lydia to the park for about an hour or so today. She swung on the swings, but there were a lot of kids so we decided to take play time to the grass. She was kind of tired before we left, so while on the swings she was pretty happy (and distracted by all the kids), and on the grass she just contently played with her dandelion until it was no longer a flower. By the end she was ready to go home and take a nap. But we enjoyed the sun, breeze, and blue skies.

I can't get enough of my baby, who seems to be growing up before my eyes,

 faster than the dandelion in her hand.

 

 

My one good smile I got out of her. The rest of the time she was too tired to care

I love how her lower lip falls out when she looks down :)

"Pleeeease smile for mommy..." "..this is all you're getting"

She HAD smiled but for being so shutter happy, I wasn't fast enough and this was all I got.
She looks like she's so much smarter than me. Probably is.

time to relax

She hated having my shades on her..

But I was lucky to get one shot before she tore them off.

"Here mom, I'll share the stem with you." :)

I love precious baby feet!

I put her on the grass and she did not like that..

She likes taking the flower and rubbing it down her face lol

Not sure what she was saying to it. Love her imagination :)

You would think she was about to eat it..but notice the flower parts on her forehead.
She's rubbing it down her face again lol

I love these grass shots

I love this one.. it's the very idea of childhood.

My favorite shot..ever..

I moved the flower over so she'd have to crawl to get it. Heheh

One word..: vampire

"Here ya go mom, I'm done!"

"Gosh..could taking a bazillion pictures of me be any more boring?"

"I'm done with the park mom, can we go..?"
