Spring Fever!

Spring has arrived and it has brought some beautiful weather our way!!!  We have been soooo ready to get outside and a mid-March heat wave has given us the perfect opportunity to be out playing in the sunshine.  For Piper, it's been a bit like coming out of hibernation...being born in the winter has kept her inside and bundled, but she is loving to be out now that it's warm.  We have been enjoying walks around our lake and to the library and I also love that daylight savings has coincided with our warm up, so that Kris has been able to head to the park with us when he gets home from work.

Playing at the park with her friend Zoe

Riley's so proud that she can now pump her legs and swing all by herself!

This past weekend, Kris' cousin Ashley and her 2 year son, Ashton, came for a visit from Georgia so we decided to take them to one of Riley Roo's favorite places...the zoo!  We had a really great time and Riley had fun meeting her new cousin.

Piper's 1st zoo day!  She loved it can't you tell?

In other news, Riley has been undergoing a little Spring transformation of her own in the form of a major growth spurt unlike any that we have ever seen from this kid.  Our little perpetual nibbler has been putting away food like no other!  It's a little like the 'Very Hungry Caterpillar'..."but he was still hungry".  The other day at Gigi's she at 2 apples, 3 pieces of string cheese and 2 bowls of oatmeal with in a couple of hours.  I cannot keep up with how quickly she is outgrowing her clothes right now, I am constantly pulling things out of her closet that don't fit anymore.  As an example of how she slowly she usually grows, she still had some 18 month and 2T stuff that she could wear...that was until a couple of weeks ago :)  She may have grown a few inches since you last saw her!
