Enjoying Spring!

Springtime here in Iowa can be kind of a roller coaster, with days of warm temps followed by big drops in temperature and chilly days. But, the weather has finally warmed up and STAYED warm, the trees and grass are GREEN (thanks to rain the past few days), and we are thoroughly enjoying spring! Jeremiah LOVES being outside, whether he's playing on the deck or riding in the stroller. And he cries just about every time we have to come in!

We even have had some 90+ degree days in the past couple weeks.


We let J play with a big bucket of water out on the deck-- he had so much fun! Mommy and Daddy did not have as much fun, since we had to fill it about 5 times because J was strong enough to pick it up and dump it! Don't worry, since then we have bought a baby pool for him to enjoy this summer-- can't wait to break it out!

Jeremiah loves watching Daddy mow the lawn, too!

He picked up the word "mow" quite quickly one evening when we went for a walk and just about everyone was out mowing. However, whenever he sees someone mowing the lawn, he says "mow" and then he does sign language for "more." So, we're not sure if he is confusing the words "mow" and "more" or if he just wants to see more mowing. Here's a little video of Jeremiah playing outside and watching Daddy mow.

Another great thing about spring and summer evenings???

Ice cream! :)

This is Mommy's last week of school, so pretty soon we'll have lots more time to enjoy the weather and play outside!
