The birds and the ... flowers :)

Yesterday we had an impromptu dinner picnic. It has been beautiful down here recently, so we decided to take advantage of it. On our way home we stopped to look at some flowers.
Then she decided to "smell" them.
Here she's pointing out the birds.
Recently Ilana has been fascinated with birds. On our walk home we were in a huge field and saw tons of birds, flying, singing, the whole shebang. Ilana got so excited, this was her reaction:

The weather is beautiful and it makes the terrible 2s seem not so bad when you have sweet sweet moments like this in your day also.
Today, we flew a kite. :) I'll post pictures/video of that soon - she LOVED it!

These were from earlier in the day, but I can't help but post them, they're some of my recent favorites! It is most definitely skirt weather down here! These were both taken right outside our building. In this picture she's singing her heart out.
Always the contemplative child.
