* Note, this is water table, not to be confused with a water BOARD. My sister, Rachel, kept repeating at Alexandra's birthday party that she had received a water board from my parents - no, the grandparents weren't handing out methods of torture!
I believe that approximately one minute into it, Alexandra's front was doused.
Her little Buddha belly looked so pronounced with the wet romper stuck next to her skin!
With the humidity, Alexandra's curls really kicked into high gear...
This next one just makes us laugh!
"See Mommy? I like dousing myself with water!"
It's truly amazing to me how something as simple as a plastic Silo cup can provide such amusement for a child...
If the heat and the humidity of a Kentucky summer do not wilt us, I have a feeling our backyard is going to be a constant source of entertainment and fun for our family over the next few months. Even yours truly gets in on the act and joins Alexandra on the double seater swing!

Such adorable pictures!!!
Wish we had your weather out here. We instead have rain & wind.
Funny how the simplest of things amuse children. My kids will spend hours playing with straws & band-aids. NO JOKE :)-
Hi sweet Sara!
First of all I just want to say HI and HAPPY WEEKEND!
Second, baby girl Alexandra's sweet Kentucky curls are just gorgeous and your photography skills just amaze me at how you can capture such tender moments. What a little bathing beauty!
Y'all are too sweet in B&W with the swinging shot....I hope you have a nice 8x10 ready for your office, that is the absolute sweetest. Thinking of you and wishing you a fabulous week ahead!!
xoxxxo
It was steamy here as well and my hubs and I were just talking about getting a water table for us...I mean Henry! A, her adorable curls and her cutie pie tummy look like a party! I LOVE that last pix of the two of you...beautiful, beautiful!
So cute! All of it! Water play is the best cure for a hot sticky day!
These are the sweetest pics! Look at those sweet curls! We swung on a swing like that together last night. W loved it! Glad y'all had a wonderful weekend!
Her little curls are the most precious things in the world!!
Aren't little budda baby bellies the best!! Your sweet little girl is adorable! Her eyelashes go on for days, what a cutie!!
Love that face she is making! Isn't it great how water will entertain them for so long!
What great pictures! She is soo cute with those curls.
So much fun!!! I think my little one needs one - I have thought about it but didn't know if she would really love it. These pics tell me she WILL!! Loving the curls!
Those curls-that smile! Alexandra is so precious and obviously in her element. What a wonderful time you all must have had watching her!
Love the belly and those curls! You're so right about the simplest items entertaining them. I'm not buying baby boy anything - just giving him Tupperware, boxes, and measuring spoons! Those were all Colin's favorites.
We had a great time at dinner with you guys. I'm not sure when we'll get to do it again but I'm already looking forward to it!
a water table is on my list for addi! she plays with one at school and i just know she'd love one this summer! looks like it was hit with miss alexandra!
how cute are these picts!! love love! and I adore alexandra's curls~
Ohhhhh, I bet my lil' dude would LOVE that! Those photos are beyond sweet. : )
I love watching my children play at the water table! Isn't it the best when, as you mentioned, something so simple brings so much joy to our little ones? We've had a couple of days in the 80's and used the water table then, but we are looking forward to a summer filled having fun around our water table. It seems to be one of the few activities where my children have super long attention spans! Adorable photos...you are a great photographer!
That water table is the best. We have one and they still love it. Now we set it next to the pool and the water gets dumped from one to the other. entire afternoon of fun and what we plan to do ALL summer while I am on maternity leave. summer fun, here we come!
Oh my gosh, her curls are awesome!
My girls got a water table last summer, Alexandra is going to love playing with it all summer!
Could she be any cuter? Those curls...what a lucky girl!
She is so gorgeous. Loving those curls! from another curly girl xx
Oh my goodness...what a precious child! Your photos are stunning...I feel as though I am right there with ya'll!
Your blog is lovely and I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit!
Thank you!
Cathy
What great pics of A! The last one of her is sooo sweet, and the two of you together is precious! And don't you just love that water equals instant entertainment at this age? :)
Oh my goodness, sweet Alexandra's curls are about to melt my heart! She is precious and how wonderful that this is going to provide hours and hours of entertainment for her and help cool her off at the same time!! YAY!
oh I love her curls! they are adorable... This Kentucky summer is definitely kicking in full blast. Can't believe its going to be this way all week and honestly I'm not sure if I'm excited or not :)
absolutely adorable kid... congrats and may she have good health always!
Adorable baby girl! I love her curls and long lashes. She is so stylish in her bathing suit:)
What a fun toy! She's such a sweetheart - I love her beautiful curls. All the pictures are great but the second to last is fabulous. Definitely frameworthy!
Beautiful photos! Aren't those water tables the BEST?! I can't get enough of those curls and that buddha belly!
Ha! I got my son Grant who just turned 1 a water table sunday and he had the time of his life playing with it yesterday! So much fun and secretly I had fun too! I found your blog thru my friend Trish and it is so cute. I love the name of it! Hope to keep in touch. I am following you now! Have a great day!
XOXO Jessica

precious pictures!!! I think she liked it! hope you guys had a good weekend :)
Water board - that's hilarious! My kids love the water tables at school - even when they're empty! Alexandra is such a cutie!
How cute, great pics!
I"m envious of your fun backyard! Our currently has nothing bug sod. At least that was good enough for a sprinkler and some water fun, right?! It got up to the mid 90s in Chicago which is never fun...way too much humidity. But I'm still excited it's summer!
I LOVE those curls! We have a curly Q in our house too and I just love it. Very sweet. So funny that kids have these fancy water contraptions now. When I was little we sprayed each other with the water hose and thought it was the best thing ever. Ha!
You are so sweet and such a good mom. I really want you to enjoy every minute of it. I turned around an my son just turned 16. It flies by!
Those curls! I just can't get over them. How many of us would maim someone seriously for that head of hair?
Great photos, by the way. And I laughed at the water board / table idea, though occasionally this south/southwest heat does feel like a torture implement to this Californian!
Hi my darling! Alexandra is the cutest little gal I have ever laid eyes on. My goodness. And the way you take photos; priceless! I hope you are enjoying the fabulous weather this long weekend for you :) XO
