Pictures of Playtime and Our New Car

So while I definitely was in a slump last week and this weekend, I feel a bit better today and thought it would cheer me up to put some pictures of Lola which I haven't done in a while.  She is so energetic and opinionated that we really need to take her out two, three times a day.  In addition to her class at Fairchild, some of her favorite haunts lately have been Maggie and Rose (she went there twice yesterday!), Baumhaus (her music classes), the American Club, the playground and public library.

 We got a new car and finally went to pick it up about two weeks ago.  I think the verdict is that Lola likes it!  Michael told her it was her very own minibus (let's face it, it practically is the size of one) and she has her very own special seat.  She resisted car seats before but this one she seems relatively satisfied with - mainly it provides her a nice boost up and the windows are so big that she can really look out.

Going slightly further back, just around that time Lola also got a haircut.  She is very well behaved during a hair cut (I'm sure the Peppa videos don't hurt) and sits very still like she knows something important is happening.  Doesn't she look so grown up here!

 Afterward, she went upstairs to play, likely relishing the freedom of her newly shorn 'do.

 Not sure how it started, but lately if you ask her to smile for a picture sometimes she will reward you with a loud fierce roar!

 Playing in school:

Her sunglasses finally fit her now and she has taken to wearing them at random hours of night and day.  How funny is she!

 And finally, one last picture of her so happy at Maggie and Rose, her first love (currently) - she just loves everything there, from the ball pit to the cars to the kitchen to the slide!
