Summertime Treats

Summer is officially here and we've had our fair share of hot and humid days. The heat of the day is right about when I wake up from nap and mom has been great in treating me to some cool down treats. Today was special though. I woke up just in time to hear the ice cream man coming by. His bell was ringing and we were running in an effort to catch up to him. We had to go all the way to the end of our street. Which is a long way for my little legs to run. Needless to say, mom and I were both ready for the cool treat at the corner.

I got my first bomb pop (though not the traditional red, white, and blue) and still have not mastered the art of eating a popsicle on a stick. Thank heavens mom had my smock on me, she could dump out the melted popsicle from my pockets by the time we were done.







I've gotten better at eating popsicles since these pictures. However, I think I'm cheating a bit, my favorites are icee pops. The treat from mom's younger days that's just frozen juice in a plastic sleeve. The plastic helps keep it all in. I thought choosing those at the grocery store was pretty clever.

Spring Dress

Here I am ready for church in my new spring dress complete with matching barrettes. Aunt Trish's significant other, Mr. Steve, left the dress for me right before he left for Scotland. (That's where he's from.) He'll be back in about a month but left me this to send some sunshine my Aunt Trish's way. Thank you Mr. Steve!

Here's an up close look at my barrettes. This was a new thing for me. I love them though! Mom's going to have to get some more to coordinate with some of my everyday outfits!



Standing pretty. I love to say cheese for pictures but I never seem to be looking at the camera.



Ahh, there's that smile. I love flowers, of all types. Mom has some by our porch that I would love to pick; however, I mostly stick to the clover in our yard. But these daisies sure are pretty. Maybe mom can plant some of those for me.
