Life In Color

Bj had today off and hung out with Tuesday most of the day:

(his idea to get baby + laundry upstairs at once).

I got my work done so quickly and efficiently, it was awesome. I spent the rest of the day wrestling with pins and the crib bumper. SO close to being done, only ties left to sew on. Thank goodness!

Oh baby it's the beach! Bj got a surprise day off of work (he finished a project early), so we decided to head over to the coast for the day before the holiday crowds. I was so interested to see what Tuesday thought of it. At first it didn't seem she noticed much of anything. We ate at Mo's and when we walked out to the little boardwalk near there all Tuesday wanted to do was play with the toy Taro got her. Things changed when we got to the actual beach part of the coast. It was so windy (and thus a little cold down there), I was unsure how she would take it. 

 

I think saying she loved it would be an understatement. The girl ATE IT UP. We held her over incoming waves and she was so giggly and cute about them.

Oh my goodness I could take her here everyday. 

I think it's the perfect combination of things for Tuesday to like: lots of people, birds, water, loud sounds (so so loud), and the wind just topped it off, she was thrilled by it. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect reaction from her. I have a video of it, but I got super squeaky and excited, so I overshadow her giggles a bit - oops! 

Someday we'll go to more of beach and less of a coast and she'll wonder where all the cold and wind went. But I think one things for certain - we have a water lover on our hands!

Last night went much better, and tonight looks to be more of the same - yeah! It still takes a while to get Tuesday down. We had Sciarrino over tonight and thought we'd give her a little go at it, she got a bit weepy (Tuesday not Sciarrino). When I came in the room she reached out for me and quieted instantly. I really can't believe I have that effect on her. I mean I guess I'm with her all day long so I don't really have to share her much. It sure does make me feel good that she recognizes I'm her mama and that I make her so happy. She makes me super happy as well. Especially when she looks as cute as she did today:

This is one of our Chase N' Sky out fits. I don't know if I've mentioned, but the owner/designer is a family friend. Super fabulous and stylish. Bj loves this outfit even more than I do, and did not want to change Tutu out of her little bloomers and dress. He even said he wished we didn't have to put her down because she was dressed so cute. Indeed she was. I tried to get a good picture of the ruffly bottom:

Heheh. It looked really cute when she stood up and just a little bit of it peeked out. 

Tuesday and I took our cute selves around a bit today with William and Donna. We stopped at Reruns For Kids, a used clothing store that benefits a program that fights child abuse. I didn't know it but the first business day there are dollar days so we got some fun things:

More sun hats (her head is growing!), four dresses, a long sleeved tee with cute embroidery and some crazy pants all for under 12 bucks! We ate downtown, then Sciarrino and I got things ready for the 4th of July BBQ. I don't really know where the evening went actually, hmm...
