First off, thank you for your sweet comments on our recent trip to the beach! π We really have mastered Waverly Maye’s personality, anything that involves running, exploring, & being outside is totally her thing. Nothing makes her happier than being able to run free. I can’t even count the number of times I have been stopped & asked lately how old she is or when she learned to walk, they are amazed at how quick she is for such a little person. I always come close to saying “at birth”, I really feel like I have been chasing after her since then. π
So I just knew that much like the beach, a trip to the strawberry patch would top her list of favorite things to do. We randomly went a couple Mondays ago, the window for good strawberries is really so short we wanted to get there while we could. Also, Waverly’s cousins were going, she is obsessed with everything about them.

This child is as enthusiastic as they come, & I’m sure there has never been another activity she loved more than this. Waverly was all about the fact that there was tons of room for her to roam, it was perfect for a toddler since the aisles (is that what they are called?) were long but kept us from losing her. Once she figured out how to pick the berries, she was so proud of herself. The cutest.
Another plus, eating the berries. π I’m not sure I should publicly admit this since the ones she ate (one bite out of each) were not weighed in the baskets we paid for, but there was no stopping Waverly. She could not get over the fact that there were so many, she was definitely very impressed. She kept repeating “diapas” since that is what she has been calling berries for months now, it’s totally random & once again, we have no idea where it comes from. Yet we all know exactly what she means when she says it & so, obviously, we just go with it.
Does anyone else’s toddler have their own language, too?!
Regardless, the berries we have pulled out of the fridge since then are just not nearly as cool. These were her favorite ever.
It definitely was one of the most memorable days we have had, I can’t wait to take her back next year!! I live for traditions like this. π If you have one in your area, Waverly & I definitely recomend a trip! It was well worth the red stains that I’m not sure I will ever be able to get out. π

She is so precious chowing down on those berries! You can tell she had the best time! Such a fun tradition…I remember picking strawberries with my grandmother every year π
Aw, love that!!!! And that you remember! π
These pictures are so fun to look at! I have always wanted to go strawberry picking. We have done blueberries and veggies here in Alaska, but sadly no strawberries. One day. I am sure my kiddos would love it π
Right now Noah's favorite fruit is strawberries so I can't wait to take him strawberry picking too! These pictures are great! Waverly seems like such a fun kid… but would probably tire me out if I had to chase her that much π
SO excited to enter this giveaway… now that I know I am having a little GIRL it's all tutus and hair bows from here on out!!!! I love your pictures, that looks like SUCH a fun day!
Yay for a a baby girl!!!!! π CONGRATS & good luck in the giveaway!
Strawberry picking is on my list of things to do this summer too! We went last year, but Palmer was just small and didn't know what was going on!

Yay, she will love it!!!!! XO
She looks adorable sitting in the patch eating her berries! So cute!
I love all her facial expressions! When I visited my boyfriends brother and his kids in Virginia Beach we actually went to the Strawberry Festival down there. It was so much fun! But not as fun as actually picking them!
I love that you let her dig in! The pictures with juice running down her chin are so sweet! π
What a cutie pie! Of course there is no way anyone could be mad that she ate strawberries before they were weighed — she's just such a darling little girl! I can't wait to take Owen strawberry picking.
Who doesn't try the strawberries before they are weighed? She is priceless and a total DOLL. Love her and those overalls! We're planning a trip this weekend if the sun comes out to play π
So stinkin' cute π I can't wait til Kiernan's juuuuust a little older because I know she will totally dig something like this. Those pics are so precious <3
I love her outfit and that belt with the overalls….

The overalls are amazing!! She is seriously the cutest thing ever!!
I keep meaning to do this with my kids, just need to get out and do it. Those pictures are so cute! Can't wait to make someone a cute tutu and sandals!
I wish we had something like this around here. Maybe we do and I just havenβt looked hard enough. But, Iβd love to take Mason to a strawberry patch. And in true Waverly fashion β sheβs wearing the perfect outfit. Too cute! You captured this trip so great in pictures.
She is the perfect little strawberry child, and her overalls… I die! She looks like she's having so much fun chomping down on the berries! I can't wait to take Scarlett Strawberry picking this summer!
My nephews go cherry picking out here. I can't wait to join them next year (with a matching cherry outfit ensemble of course!)
I LOVE toddler made up words. Especially only the ones mama can understand π It's part of a special club for sure!
The overalls. Kill me now. I love em.
The joy on Waverly's face is palpable in these pictures. What a fun memory! So, so sweet!
Love her festive overalls!!!! So appropriate!! Sadly we missed strawberry season but had a lovely day with blackberries today! Looks like she had an absolute blast!!
oh man Aria went strawberry picking last year before she could walk and we had so much fun, I really wanted to go this year we just couldn't make the times work. sigh. I think blueberries are going on though so maybe the stars will align for that. Aria sure does love blueberries. The overalls are the cutest as are those red stained fingers and lips =)
These pictures are just priceless…the overalls, the red hands…I love it all!!! And Arden has a few made up words in her vocab too–for the longest time, mac & cheese was "tattoo". Say what?!?! π
TOO CUTE! We have a strawberry farm that we can go to here, but I've never taken Mason for fear that he will just roam free and face plant into the strawberry bushes. Or maybe I'm being dramatic, but I'm sure he would run free for sure. Looks like you guys had the BEST time and Waverly looks SO HAPPY to be eating the strawberries!!
Oh my gosh – I can't handle the cuteness of ther little outfit (perfect!), and how much she enjoyed eating those berries! What a perfectly fun little trip.
Ahh.. my whole long reply disappeared! lol! Anyhow these photos are to die for! Well worth any stains! Miss Waverly seems to have grown up overnight! I'll need to check if our local working farm has something similar right now! Looks so fun! Waverly and Kaitlyn are so similar – just go, go, go all the time! Happy Monday!
