Ayla meets my FuNsHiNe Bear ...

 ... it sings when you hold its paws ... she loved it!!!

then we took a little stroll around the yard ... to let the doggy walk ...

she's definitely fitting right in on RockyTop ...

she loves the dirt & Lord knows, we've got plenty of it :)

she found herself a bucket & shovel or two ... and let the fun begin ...

all this air & dirt made her feel a little sassy ... too cute :)

gotta love that purty smile :) 

she loved the dirt running through her fingers ...

she filled up & dumped out the bucket at least a million times and still got excited every single time 

when she had enough dirt, she brushed herself off  ...

and headed over to the swing ...

I told her to swing on her tummy & that she did ...  

she kept telling me "FUN" and "WHEE"

I was just enjoying her having such a great time 

she spotted birds flying by and airplanes flying over too 

and the next pic is one of my absolute favorites of the day ...

she is laughing trying to catch her shadow ...

and such a cute shadow it is :) 

she loved swinging, but her heart was still in the dirt, back to it she went ... 

after a while longer outdoors, we headed inside , she had her lunch & then watched a movie, Wonder Pets while she played with the doll house once again ... 

she calls each family member by status, Mommy, Daddy, Baby, Sister & G'ma ... 

she has more fun with the dolls than the furniture ... 

and when she is all done, she puts them all back into the box & closes the top ... all by herself :)

she doesn't want any help ... such a big girl 

I am truly enjoying our mornings together, she is a little doll.

We have so much fun sharing books, walks, movies, & a laugh or two :)
