grass

I've heard other mothers say that their babies don't like being in the grass or walking in the grass because it tickles. Elena really likes being in the grass. Maybe that's because her mother doesn't always have a blanket handy to set her on and she just got used to it. Regardless, she likes running her fingers through the blades and pulling pieces out. For some reason she never actually puts the grass in her mouth, but just holds onto it to get a closer look. I love that everything in Elena's eyes is something new and wonderful and I often wish I could look at things that way again.
