We took AB to the boardwalk last night to get new shoes, and of course we took pictures.

Here she is on her “car phone” before we left the house. She rides this little plastic car all over the house these days, stopping in doorways to dismount, lift it over the threshold, climb back on and scoot on through. Thank goodness for hardwood floors and a wide open floorplan. :)

When we go shopping, Joey and I have very well-defined roles: I shop, and he chases after AB. Little Dooger likes to run free. (Note the different shoes from the previous pic. This was post-Stride Rite.)

Part of the magic of having a toddler is in their little brains’ constant curious learning. Here AB stopped to inspect some leaves and twigs.


More twig research. She’s funded by a grant from The Mommy Foundation. :P

And finally, my favorite picture of the evening. Sheer toddler joy:

I love being AB’s Mommy.
