Girl Time

Sometimes I feel like I don't get enough quality alone time with Ella. We have most of the day on Tuesday & Thursday together since Carter is in school, but I feel like those days quickly fill up with errands and other things that are easier to get done with only one child tagging along. All too often I decide to get other things done on those days than doing something special, just me and her. I really want to try to do better about that, especially since she isn't really napping in the morning anymore.... we can truly take advantage of the whole day together!

Last Thursday we went for a little bike ride and fed ducks near our neighborhood. It was a beautiful day for it, and Ella had a blast! This was the first time she's fed ducks, and she was so fascinated by the noises they made and the way they'd snatch up the bread. She even loved "throwing" the bread to them (even though it always ended up in the grass 6 inches away)! It was a fun outing, just her and I, and I look forward to more of that this spring!!

Here come the ducks!

They knew exactly why we were there.....

 

 

She sat in my lap for the longest time, just enjoying the ducks, the sun, and the wind.

 

Loved this time with my baby girl!!
