Swing sets & Smiles

Joy is watching my daughter experience the swing all by herself for the first time.  She leaned all the way into the front panel of the swing...

....and swung back and forth.  Back and forth.  No crying.  No laughing.  Just thoughtful concentration.

With a little coaxing, she decided that this set-up was a-o.k.  She whipped out the sweet baby cheeks and it was time to have fun!

 Dang, it!  She is sooo cute!  We even tried out the rest of the  playground, but it wasn't built with wee-ones in mind.  We gave it a go anyways.

Bottom of the slide, anyone?

I love her, "Yup, here I am..." face.  It makes me giggle every time :)


Afterwards we made the long trek back home - it's about a 3 minute walk, so I'm sure you can sympathize.

Lastly, a little blogger quiz!
