The Sass Family: Springtime a little early!

The last several weeks have been unseasonably warm for South Dakota, so we have been lucky to spend most of our family time playing outside, going on family walks, grilling out, and all around enjoying the beautiful weather! Adelyn is almost finished with her swim lessons, she gets to play in the water with Mommy and Daddy every Saturday. Surprisingly she does well already kicking every so often, but by far her favorite thing is to lay on her back in the water resting her head on Daddy's shoulders and crossing her ankles a la pool lounge chair :) At least she is enjoying the water! She also just finished her first Kindermusik class, which she loved! Each week she got to spend time with new friends singing, dancing, clapping, and learning about new senses. But probably her most favorite thing of the class has to be the book of farm animals that came with it. She always brings the book to us and wants us to "read" the book to her basically making funny animal sounds with each page. Now that I think about it, I haven't read that book in a while - the hiding spot must be really good! Our little lady is blossoming into a more active toddler every day. She walks around everywhere and tries to get into everything! This past weekend she graduated to a convertible car seat, which she loves since it sits higher and she gets to watch the cute baby in the mirror! She has also started working on her attitude and displaying to us that she is strong-willed. Little does she know, her very own Mommy has mastered that so it will be a fun battle between the two of us. Good thing Daddy is so even-tempered and knows how to calm us both down! :) Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks!
