Ducks!

Today I had to go meet Mom near the local pond that houses ducks and fish.  It was about Charlotte's lunchtime and rather than let her throw her food all over the brand new, still mostly clean (at least inside) car, I decided that she could eat lunch while watching the ducks!  We didn't have any close encounters with them and she didn't pay them too much attention since she was more interested in her food, but she did seem to enjoy being outside on such a beautiful day and she did light up when she spotted a few ducks once she was finished with her food.  She even pointed to one and said "duh!" and even though that's what she calls Luca and is actually pretty much her word for everything, in my mother's heart I'm going to imagine that she can already identify a duck! :)  Oh, and please excuse the massive amounts of crumbs on my child.  She tends to take after her mother and get her food on her a lot when she eats!

Let me point out her new, big girl shoes.  I can't believe that she's old enough to be wearing REAL shoes!!

At this point we had pretty much reached our limit.  Unless she was so hungry that she was trying to eat the stroller.  Nope, I see the puffs and cheese in the tray, not hungry, just bored.

Our closest duck encounter.  Charlotte was pretty amazed when the duck got this close (probably 20 feet away).
