Pretty In Purple

What a gorgeous summer day! As much as I've stayed out of the sun the past couple of years, it's amazing how much I've missed having a tan. I found some great sunblock, the new stuff that sprays on...brilliant! I've been out in the sun twice this week and I haven't burnt at all and am slowly building a tan.
Ella and I went out to our neighborhood BBQ at lunchtime and it's a scorcher today. It was nice to see some of our neighbors and watch the kids play games but we only stayed out for an hour as it's too hot for Ella and she's too young for sunscreen. I have some hats for her that came with some of her outfits but they make them much too big. This one is "newborn" size but her head floats in it. She wasn't all that happy about me dressing her up at first (notice her pout...a recent thing with her) but she got used to the hat quickly.
She is a tiny baby for her age, only in the 10 percentile...but she's in the 75 percentile for her height. She's so long and lean that she's already wearing 3-6 month pj's and though they fit her length-wise, they're still too baggy. We thought about leaving her in her 0-3 month pj's and just cutting out the feet...but her clothes are so cute and in such good shape we're saving most of them for baby #2 (eventually baby #2 as it's waaayyyyyy too early to be thinking about another anytime soon).
Grandma is coming over for a visit this afternoon and Ron's working all weekend. I think the rest of the weekend is going to be a lazy one. Hope you are enjoying the blog; I really enjoy posting!
