She is more and more a toddler. She bounces back and forth between happy and upset. Sometimes upset ends with her laying on the floor, not throwing a tantrum exactly, just going limp and laying on the floor. Which if what we want is her to go or do something, does the job until we pick her up. It is so funny to see how so plays by herself verses with a playmate. She stays close to mom at the park but with wondering all over when we go alone, but add a playmate into the mix and she has someone to follow or someone to keep her on one activity longer. Getting harder and harder to follow her around a park so she doesn't fall off things, how long before she is old enough for me to sit on a bench and watch her play?
We went to my high school reunion at the end of July in Indiana, which was an opportunity to visit with my family and a close friend. Went to the Star Wars exhibit at the State Museum with my brothers on their birthday and then out to lunch. Then one of them went with us to the Children's Museum (which if I lived closer I would have an annual pass to, because it was awesome) The morning of the reunion, hung out with my best friend from high school and her little boy at Conner Prairie. Went to a quick Mediterranean lunch (the menu for the reunion was kinda appetizer-y) Nic fell asleep on the 2 minute drive to lunch and had to be woken up and so after getting her to eat something, she got cranky. She loves Mediterranean food like hummus, pitas, couscous, and lamb. Then to the afternoon reunion. Had dinner with one brother and mom after the reunion. My mom hung out with us at the hotel to play with Nic afterward.

With the next little one on the way we are rearranging the house some. Cleaning out the office and combining it with the guest room, so the office can be Nicollette's new toddler room. I have picked out, but still need to purchase the toddler bed, and it will be decorated with vintage Teddy Beddy Bear bedding. It is more pastel and so I am on the look out for things to match the almost seafoamy green, although I have a lot of stuff already including matching wall hangings.
The baby nursery will stay mostly the same with the turquoise and dot motif. Taking out Nicollette's personal stuff and returning it back to a gender neutral room.
With summer coming to a close looks like I should start a Fall fun list of things to do.
