An Acorn in (almost) Spring

My baby likes to be outside!!! This is very exciting.
We've had a long, cold winter. Acorn gets bored if we are in the same place for too long. She was a bit fussy the other day and I took her outside and she got super still and calm as I walked around and showed her spring flowers, crocus and snowdrop and hellebore.
Yesterday, I took her out and laid her on a mat & blanket so I could quickly plant something a neighbor was getting rid of(lilac, can you believe it?) and she cooed and squirmed like she does when I am standing above her. But I wasn't! It was the sky/trees/birds that she was cooing to.
Hurrah!
