She Wears Short Shorts

Yesterday was so nice and warm. We went outside for our usual outdoor time, and Neely even wore shorts.
I tried to get a picture of them together, and Neely didn't want to sit on laps.
But once they let her down, she was more than happy to give me her super cheesy smile. Actually, they all did their cheesiest poses, now that I think about it.
Speaking of poses, check out this chocolatey faced model.
Now that January's officially over, we have made it successfully through 1/12th of our year of spending at least 15 minutes a day playing outside. Even on the cold windy days we made it happen. And even a couple of times when one or two of the kids were sick, I at least brought them out to sit in the rocking chair with me and get some fresh air.

Neely has a few new words. One is "please" and she uses it on her own, mostly when she wants a drink of my water. She also still loves her Little People, they go everywhere with her.
