Another First

I think the best thing about being new parents is all the "firsts". A friend of mine who is the mother of a 25 year old daughter who lives out of state made a comment that I know is very true, "Don't wish it away, it will be over before you know it."  But I can't help it.....I am so excited to share and experience things with Shannon. So...her first real visit to the park was exciting for me. We live 5 houses from the park and have walked there many times to see the kids play and watch the activities, etc. But today was the first time we "went" to the park to PLAY!  Since she is able to support herself sitting up these days, the timing was just right. 

As you can see she spent some time relaxing on the blanket, then she relaxed more while mommy pushed in the swing, and then she cooled off with a refreshing drink from her sippy cup. She loves that thing, but just can't figure out how to hold it on her own yet and actually get liquid from it!
