Visiting

Helayna, Heather and Jonathan was a great way to spend part of spring break! Helayna has changed so much since we saw her on Family Day. She is so happy and content and loves to interact now, generously sharing smiles and baby sounds. I love her happy murmurings and cooing. I really could have stayed a whole lot longer instead of coming home to think about school again!!



Jonathan's parents sent this Jolly Jumper to Helayna and right from the start, she totally got the idea and loved the bouncing. She wore a great big grin and we got lots of good pictures.




Isn't this just a look of pure happiness?!! I'm so glad she has this to enjoy now.




This girl can get some serious air already! She is like a mini-perpetual motion machine!




We learned to play "Pat-a-cakes" and I got the best smiles ever!




"Miss Cool"




The new sunglasses came in handy when we walked to the park and went for rides on the swing. She didn't once try to take them off. That cute bear suit from Auntie Kelsey is perfect for this spring weather.




After bathtime, Helayna loved playing peek-a-boo with Daddy. I have always loved cuddling little ones after their baths - this simple act brings back lots of memories for me!
