playing outside…

the days have been so gorgeous lately & the cooler & more fall like that it get’s the more i completely love it & we all know that sophia just loves playing outside. she has been very “difficult” lately, crying alot which is just not like her usual happy self & it seems like when she isn’t crying she is screaming at me, it get’s incredibely tiring & frustrating & i am constantly worrying that i am doing something wrong. shane & i think that her teeth coming in are really hurting her & i also think that she is just pushing boundaries & figuring out the boundaries & i think she really, really wants to be able to talk & she get’s so frustrated when we don’t know what she is “saying”. it always seems like when we get outside & she is in the breeze & sun & running around, she is such a happy girl…

just so happy to run around & play…

she loved taking her shopping cart outside & pushing it up & down the street, we are really going to have to work on her stopping & looking before she crosses streets because our street is a dead-end with not many cars so we run in & out of the street & walk up & down the middle of it when were out there playing…

we chased that ball up & down that street 100 times i think. she would throw it & i would chase it & she would laugh sooooo hard watching me chase that little ball over & over…

she loved filling her cart with all the leaves. one by one she would drop them into her little cart & then run & get another & then take them all out & start all over again. she is always so thoughtful & intent when she does anything, especially a project as big as this one…
