The "Horse"

Kev gives Niya "horsey" rides on his knees... which she has found funny since she was a small baby. Now that she is bigger, she pretends to ride horses often... she moves with the motion of the chosen horse, and even makes the clicking sound of a running horse with her mouth. Now Niya has found a way to experience the feeling of the wind in your hair too!

I think this latest "horse" is by far the best one yet!

Niya and Daddy

Niya loves shoulder rides... she starts smiling and giggling the minute she is up on your shoulders! The best rides are with Daddy of course: Higher up, better shoulders, he bounces more, and his hair is fun to play with!

Up on the shoulders!

Sooo much fun!

How cute is this one!

Daddy and his little girl...

she has him wrapped around her finger already... who could blame him! :)

Niya Loves the Beach

Some fun in the sun with a new little friend the same age!

Too busy moving sand around to look at Mommy!

Not too crowded...

I cannot believe how grown up she looks in this picture... she looks about 3 or 4!!

playing with our shadows

Ahhh the beach in a place where you can actually wear a swimsuit and not freeze to death

(what a novel idea)!!

More Pants!!

Poor kid... nothing seems to stay up... the clothes that fit her in length are way to big around... I'm so jealous! :P

Niya and the Pants!!!

The Graham Cracker Bunny

At lunch: Niya holds out a sticky hand to me holding one half of a graham cracker bunny. She is sharing, offering it to me to eat. Knowing it is one of her last two bunnies, I decline "No thank you honey, Mama is all done". She looks at the bunny, Giving it some serious thought, gives it a kiss and offers it to me again! As if to say, see all it needed was a kiss to make it irresistible! Don't you want to eat it now?! :) I gave in and ate the bunny! How could anyone resist such an offer!?! ;)
