365 Project - May

It is hard to believe that May is gone. My parents' visit has come to an end, and they have headed off to Texas before returning to Peru. Alethia sure loved having them here, and it looks from this first shot of the month like my Dad had a good time with his granddaughter too.


Aunt Shelley fixing Alethia's hair.


I don't know what she's trying to do here, but I think it's pretty cute.


All smiles.


The pool has become a favorite hang-out.


Alethia loves her cousin Abigail. Then again, she's incredibly jealous of the attention Abigail gets. Alethia is finding out that she is not the center of the universe.


I love this one. I just wish there wasn't highlighter on her face.


What's going on in there?


Playing with sand toys at the park.


Oh the concentration it takes to hold trash in your mouth and a rock in each hand while walking across stepping stones.


Playing with rice and plastic animals.


Apparently she wants to be alone.


Ready, set, go!


Swinging.


Helping Grandpa.


That water is cold!


I love this one. Alethia watched my Dad holding the baby and got her doll out to try to be like Grandpa.


Aaaahhhhh.


I think she is excited here about Happy Babies. You're better off not knowing what that is.


I love the light here.


Yummy.


Out for a walk, playing with big sticks.


Pennies!


Feeding the baby doll.


Come, share my mess.


Going upstairs to see Mark and Shelley.


Trying to learn how to use a key.


Another smiling face.


Ducks.


I think Andrew was instigating the face-making this time.


She's not quite sure what to do with this snail. Anyone want to take it?


Well, that wraps up another month's daily pictures. Check back again next month for more. Thanks for stopping by. If you have enjoyed this, leave me a note. I'd love to hear from you.

365 Project - April

Another month has come and gone. A major highlight of the month has been my parents' visit. They came last week and will be here a month because Shelley is having a baby. It sure is good to have them around and Alethia loves spending time with them. This month's images are a bit goofed up though. Torrey and Alethia spent a week in Colorado with Torrey's sister, so I used extra images from the rest of the month to fill in the missing days. I cheated a little. Enjoy the pictures anyway.

Here we're watching the ducks on the pond at our apartment complex.


She was very... animated about egg decorating. Most of the eggs ended up broken before the decorating was over.


This was the day before Easter in Antelope Valley.


Easter Eggs!


Playing piano with her Great-Aunt Jane.


Blankies were made to be eaten...


...and kitchen timers make great phones.


Peek-a-Boo!


Whatever is in here can't taste nearly as good as the wrapper.


Out for a walk.


Having fun at supper time.


This is the kind of thing I get when I try to get her to pose for the camera.


We'll make a mountaineer of her yet.


Playing with the bed.


So stylish.


In the car.


At the airport headed for Colorado. Someone needs more sleep.


After this stunt she begged me for days to hold the whole bread herself.


Tickle time!


Low light + moving target = busy blur.


Looks like bedtime. She looks like she could fall asleep at any second.


Examining the flowers.


More flowers to play with.


A little boy was walking by and caught Alethia's attention.


Being playful.


Alethia loves to climb.


How many cups can a little girl carry? She's determined to find out.


Grandma gets to brush the little one's hair.


Boba!


Looking for bugs with Grandpa!
