Weekend in the Berkshires

We had a great weekend in the Berkshires with my parents, who are vacationing there for the week. Lily had a lot of new firsts while we were there! On Saturday we went to the Shaker Village, where they had baby farm animals. Lily saw pigs, turkeys, and bunnies for the first time! We also saw goats, sheep and cows. Lily really likes sheep and goats. This is the second time she been around them now, and both times she has just LOVED them! She was a little afraid of the piglets though. I can't say I blame her. One of the piglets tried to eat the poor girls sock! (Not to mention Sean's shoe laces, and my hair!)

Here's a picture of the piggies eating Sean's shoe lace:

I did a mini photo shoot with Lily because the area was just so beautiful! Here's my favorite shot:Saturday afternoon we took Lily swimming for the first time. She wasn't to sure what she thought about it at first. There were a lot of other kids splashing around in the pool, so I think it was overwhelming for her. She didn't cry though, even when she would get splashed by a kid jumping in the pool. She just was taking it all in the whole time she was in the water.

We took her swimming again on Sunday, and this time she really seemed to enjoy it! There were no other kids in the pool this time, so she wasn't distracted. She started kicking her legs to try and get around the pool a bit, and she kept sticking her face in the water to blow bubbles. What a difference a day makes!
On Sunday we also went on a short walk to see a waterfall. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the falls, but it was so beautiful! It was also Lily's first time seeing a water fall!


Another exciting thing from the weekend, Lily's 3rd tooth is starting to come in! It's the top on her left. On Saturday she was really fussy and I noticed a white bump in her gums. I don't think the tooth has broken much of the skin yet, but I'm sure it will today or tomorrow. I think there is a small break in the skin, but her gums are so swollen there I can't really tell for sure. I
had a feeling she was due for another tooth soon. She's been drooling up a storm lately! I'm sure her 4th isn't to far behind now too!

In all we had a pretty great weekend! I think we'll try to get back to the Shaker Village again soon. It's not to far away from us, and Lily loves the animals! We'll definitely have to get her into the pool more often from now on too! I'm sure she's going to be a fish, just like her mommy and daddy were as children!

Have a good week everyone!
