Summer is my Favorite!

Summer is definitely my favorite season and it always has been. It is my preferred season because of gardens. I love the feeling of being able to walk outside and pick from an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables. The previous two summers lacked in this area since we lived in an apartment and had limited space to grow things. We did always try growing plants out on our deck in pots, but it didn't work so well. We also tried a community garden, but much of the produce was stolen. This year is looking a lot different. We are having success with our garden this year and the majority of our meals are coming from it. Anybody need zucchini or squash?

This is my favorite picture of Kilynn right now. It really shows her personality. You can tell she's going to be a sassy little girl. She is wearing beet puree lipstick.

I think winter is the perfect time to have a baby because they are ready to eat solids by the time the garden is producing. Kilynn has eaten pureed spinach, peas, carrots, beets, squash, zucchini, and will be eating beans soon from our garden. A friend gave us a baby pool for Kilynn. She loves splashing around in it and spends the whole time pulling herself up on the sides of the pool so that she can sit down as hard as she can and make big splashes. It's another reason to love summer! My Mom made this dress for Kilynn out of white eyelet. It's a great summer dress. Thanks Mom! You did a great job!

The only problem with the dress is this:

The bow never stays in for very long before this happens. I have to tie a double knot, but then I can't get the bow to look as pretty.
