We’ve been having fun and enjoying some beautiful weather. I love getting out of the house sans jackets and hats and it certainly helps me to get out the door a little more quickly! Mirabelle is still always wanting to go to the choo choo park or to visit Mrs. Owl. She has a few new additions these days and is good at telling me where she would like to spend her time. She loves getting to go to the kiddie pool over at Burgess Park. They require a swim diaper as well as a cloth diaper to keep the water safe. Look at how cute Mira looks with her three bottoms on! Jasper is a gem and chills in his stroller or naps during our morning outings. One day we all three swam in the kiddie pool. We haven’t since due to a high level of difficulty once we were all wet and needed to get showered and diapered. Well, fortunately only two of us needed to get diapered!

Thankfully Mirabelle has gotten over her addiction for her big clunky boots with eyes. She has recently switched her desire to hats and purses. Oh, and did I mention that they are my hats and purses that she prefers? Also, pictured with Mirabelle on the right is Lady Wise. Lady Wise is a monkey that Josh surprised Mira with. No, we didn’t name Lady. Mirabelle did.

Mirabelle has discovered the perfect way to eat her corn on the cob without getting her hands all buttery. She always makes sure to have a napkin and to stay clean. For the most part. Jasper doesn’t seem to care about mess nor slobber. He still loves a cold carrot and is now showing his two cute little bottom teeth!

While I was nursing Jasper the other day I was wondering what a very quiet Mirabelle was up to. I came out to find a very clean mommy bear! Mirabelle has started wanting to clean her dolls or animals and change their pretend diapers. We’re working on using pretend wipes and not wasting so many!

Apparently both M & J love their new animal counting book. Mira’s been counting a lot lately and has completed 1-10 about seven times. She usually just counts 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 12! Yay!!! Occasionally she throws in some spanish numbers. So funny! Hopefully this book will help fill in the gaps.

Mirabelle loves her buddy Tre and is constantly requesting his presence. We went over to a park near his house and got to play and visit the farmer’s market. I love getting all of the great fruits, veggies and homemade breads.

On a colder day we bundled up and went for crepes and followed with a walk to the park and the duck pond. Jasper is modeling his good behavior as you can see him fast asleep in the stroller. He loves sitting up in the high chair when we’re out at the crepe cafe. Mira loves all of the toys and books they have there for children. I love the crepes and how the cafe and french waitress magically make me feel like we’re in France. Needless to say, we make our way over there at least a couple of times a week. For M & J of course.

And last but most certainly not least, we went over to visit Mira and Jasper’s Great Grandma Nettie Wise and had such a nice visit. In fact, we went back over again this morning to say hi! She has a great collection of owls, much to Mirabelle’s delight. We’re so excited for our upcoming visits with more GG’s and Grandmir’s!
