We walked and talked, Henry a little less coherently, but still understandable at times (up! Mama! I want!), and we enjoyed looking at all the dogs and the people and the almost-green grass. It smelled like rain and felt like spring, and Henry was all smiles and scrunched-up-nose laughter.
After an hour or so we headed back to the car, packed up, and headed home so the little guy could take his second nap. When we got back, I put Henry down in his crib and sat on the couch for a moment, thinking about how much fun we had, and imagining how much more fun these days will be the older he gets. Have I mentioned lately how much I love being the mama of a boy? Because I do. It's the very best thing in the entire world.










Danielle, these photos are so sweet! I think these little days with no specific plans in mind are some of the most fun!

This is so sweet. I love all of the pictures and the idea of your afternoon is so refreshing. I need to take a few separate moments with my baby girl - I want to stock pile the memories.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found your blog via @mangomoon7 - such a great recommendation :)
He has the cutest smile! You guys look like you had such a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeletethere really is nothing like a day out with mama!
ReplyDeletep.s. your guy's teeth are the best thing that have ever happened...
All of these pictures are great, especially the last one! It's one you both will cherish for years to come.
ReplyDeletep.s. I loved your being vain and weird & silly post. I can so relate! <3
Well this made me all teary. I'm probably too emotional this morning already, but geeze, I can't wait for this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mama.
Henry has the most contagious smile!
ReplyDeletethose kind of days are always the best!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect afternoon! : )
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I can't wait to have beautiful afternoons like that with my future babies! :D
ReplyDeleteawe I wish we were there with you, taking Judah and Henry on a walk. Its the best thing in the world, being a mama to a boy. I bet when Henry grows up he will have fond memories of his mama and Henry dates, just walking around, enjoying a snack being outside. I bet he grows up to love walks because of his dates with you.
