MORE FROM PITTSBURGH

We girls headed to the mall so that Jocelyn could do some looking at H & M.  Paisley and I just moseyed along and there were 5 hand shaped chairs in a circle outside of a sports store.  Paisley had to check out each and every chair.  





As we were walking to meet Laurel and Jocelyn, Paisley found other chairs to try out.  I love watching the way little children think.  They are so curious and want to see how everything works for themselves.

There was a playground outside of H & M and Paisley and I played there for quite a while.  They had slides, ladders, stairs, and squares that the kids stepped on to make funny noises.  Paisley was having so much fun climbing stairs and jumping back to the floor from the stairs.



Children love computers no matter what their ages might be.  


We decided to head to P F Changs for a very early dinner and then drive to the Steelers/Pittsburgh Panthers Stadium and walk along the river.  Jocelyn worked on doing Paisley's hair while Laurel took Brady to the backyard to cut his hair.  



Brady's hair looks great and Paisley is admiring her daddy.  We love the green beans and lettuce wraps for appetizers.  We were all smiles while we ate.  


Paisley loves to color.  She was thrilled to see a kids coloring menu and crayons.

Even with her hoodie, Jocelyn was freezing while we ate.....uh, where did she go?

The stadium is pretty cool and it is fun to think that both the pro and college teams play there.  Brady and Laurel have season tickets to the Pitt Panthers this year.

Pittsburgh has so many unique bridges crossing all up and down the river
There is a great terraced fountain that Paisley loves to play in.  She wasn't the only one.

Jocelyn was so patient taking Paisley up and down the fountain.




Brady took over the photography and got some unique shots



Love, love, love this picture of Jocey!

Laurel is such a GREAT mom
We went to a place called Zebra's for ice cream on the way home.  This was Paisley's 2nd taste of ice cream in her life.  Paisley LOVES ice cream.  She didn't want anyone to touch that cone for fear they might take it away.  Zebra's is close to Brady and Laurel's home and every time we passed it Paisley would say, "Ice Cream!"  
My cute baby girl had bubble gum ice cream in a waffle cone
Yes, 19 month olds are pretty messy when they eat ice cream, but look at that happy smile.
