Splish Splash

The first time we went to the splash park MaryP was not to thrilled about the fountains shooting out water or the cool (temperature-wise) pools around them.

This time she had a ball. She did not seem to mind the fountains except when she was directly under one and I didn't get to her in time - whoops! She loved splashing in the pools. It was a nice way to cool off on a hot summer day.

Baby Doll

After watching MaryP play with her cousins' baby dolls we decided to get one for her with some of her birthday money (thanks Great Grandparents). She picked it out (from a few choices). It is amazing to me how she loves that doll - the way she will pat it's head or try to feed it the bottle it came with (or her food for that matter). Watching my baby show love reaffirms for me that she is not just developing her personality, it is also being uncovered - she was someone special before she ever came to this earth.
