Amelia's little corner of the kitchen continues to change and grow to suit her needs! The shoe rack that once held some montessori kitchen equipment has been moved out (for now!) because someone just wanted to climb on it! So, I moved her little Ikea table and chairs into that corner and now she enjoys sitting and playing with her toy cars there! I've also scaled back at the size of her play mat, making it a bit smaller and more square! She seems to really enjoy this space (for now!)

We spent some lovley moments enjoying our pool and relaxing on our patio chairs while baby girl napped!
