Playground on Groundhog's Day

Today was so nice out I decided to take Olivia on a walk down the street to the playground. We've been down there before, but not since the summer when she was a tiny baby. Back then we just sat on a blanket in the grass with some other babies and their mommies. Today was different. We met up with a friend and his mommy and headed straight for the baby swings.

This was her first time on the swings. She was way too little over the summer. She actually really liked it. She hung on like a big girl and kicked her feet back and forth. I don't think she was trying to pump her legs or anything. She was just so excited, and when she's excited, she can't help but move her feet.

After the swings, we checked out the slide.

And finally we went over to the big-kid area. Over there they have some cars that you can "drive" and they rock back and forth. Olivia wasn't sharing the steering wheel, so it was a good thing there were two cars!

I can't believe how warm it has been this winter. If it were like today, I'd have her birthday party outside! I'm sure we'll have more snow by then. But glad we were able to take advantage of the sunshine and warm weather today.
