anyway...the first two pictures are from the first weekend in june. we met up with several of emme's classmates for an afternoon playdate at the park. the kids all recognize and know each other, but are at various levels of interactivity. so...most of our time there was spent with ek rocking the slide. i know, shocker. it's weird to look at these pictures now. i don't think of her as growing/developing as fast as she is, but this was only 4 months ago, and she wasn't even really speaking in sentences then! now, i pick her up from school and she says "it's nice to see you, mama". she also remembers grocery lists when i ask her to remind me what i said we needed at the store. it blows my mind how fast it all goes.
the other set of pictures are from an after-work happy hour we did one friday in june with just the three of us. emme was already pretty tired from the day and we went to a pretty loud/over-stimulating place called black star co-op. we love the place - they make all their food from locally-sourced stuff and have great specials. and the beer (which i of course could not partake in this go-round) is locally brewed and nice to sip on while watching your kiddo's antics. but...she was not really feeling it this day. after making our way through some grits with kale and a couple of other treats, we headed outside so she could watch the trains and climb on the big modern art sculpture. the problem was she wanted to run into the busy street and/or climb onto really high things that she could easily fall off of. anyway. this was the scene of our first public tantrum. i probably didn't handle it perfectly, but i am happy to say we've gotten a bit better since then.
