do the green bird dance...

i take turns loving my different animals. what i mean, is that sometimes i'll ReALLy love an animal one day, and the next day i'm on to a different one. lately, my only constant love has been my stars, & then i love some animals when i have the time. this morning, i enjoyed dancing with my green bird. mommy was able to take pictures, but by the time she started to video me, the dance was over.

just some pics...

a spoon & other stuff...

i am revisiting the use of a spoon, but this time i am more interested & i am making a bigger effort. i still have trouble at keeping the spoon right side up, so the food usually falls off. i figured out how to fix that! i place the food on the spoon & hold the food there until the spoon reaches my mouth! hey... it's a step in the right direction!











a few weeks ago, i received a free coloring book at publix. i have totally enjoyed this coloring book, even more than my tinker bell book. so today when mommy was at publix, she picked up another one. i was so excited to have all fresh, clean pages to color! we also played with play-doh tonight. mommy found some more little cookie cutters that are the perfect size for me!

a stay-at-home-wednesday...

today i got to stay at home all day long!! days like this are great because i get to eat when i want to & play with all my toys. so here are some random pictures of me throughout my wednesday.

playing picture catch-up...

i really meant to post these pictures sooner, but i have been having trouble going to sleep the last few nights, and that throws off everything that mommy helps me with. so anyway... a few of these pics are from bedtime. you can see that the area between my nose & mouth is getting a little irritated from me having a cold. but my cold is getting better & it hasn't slowed me down for much. i thought these other pictures were funny because of my crazy hair. when i woke up on monday morning, my hair was sticking up like this. daddy was keeping me at home that day, so we figured it didn't really matter what my hair looked like!

my beautiful saturday...

saturday was a great day, even though i didn't take a nap. i woke up late (about 8:45 am!) so we decided i just wouldn't take a nap but would go to bed early that night. it was a great plan. mommy & i went to the grocery store & i behaved very nicely. if you're wondering what i drinking, it's watered-down prune juice! i LOVE it, plus it serves other purposes as well. we went to the park in the afternoon & i enjoyed playing with kira, a friend from the neighborhood playgroup. the weather was PeRfeCT!! i counted pinecones & did a lot of running around. and i slept wonderfully on saturday night!

just chillin'...

this is where mommy found me when she arrived home after working today. i was just hanging out on my bean bag, reading a good book.

drawing & singing...

daddy & i enjoy drawing together. in this video, you will see him write out the word "STAR" (i can read that word!) and then he draws a star for me & i sing "twinkle, twinkle." he also draws a bird's body & i draw in the eye, wing, feet, plumage, and tail. daddy & MK make a great team! (sorry the video is a little dark, but you should be able to hear us very well.)

i'm a spinny girl...

lately, i have developed a love for spinning round & round. sometimes i even run around in a circle. i am just SO full of energy!

sleeping pals...

momy told me that she thought it was funny how many things i like to bring into the bed with me. some of these things were already in the bed when she left my room, but i got up & brought some more things to bed too. i have an ostrich, a goose, a little tiny kitty cat, a little yellow wooden star, a big pink flower, big bird & my hokey-pokey-elmo book. you just never know what you might need in the middle of the night!

bubbles...

daddy brought these packing bubbles home to me tonight. each bubble was very large, so i had trouble popping them by myself. but the PoPs were so LOuD!! i loved it! i jumped up & down on and hugged them.


also, on a unrelated topic... unfortunately, i have developed a cold. last night i could only sleep about one hour at a time before my congestion would get so bad & wake me up. tonight my congestion is already pretty thick, so i think mommy should get started on her sleep NOW!

sunday pictures...

ok, so we won't win any photography awards for these pictures of me in my sunday dress, but sometimes i just don't feel like posing for the camera! but mommy made a good effort of it anyway. one of these pics is of me playing with my mister potato head. i am getting really good at sticking his body parts in the right places.

my lazy saturday...

saturday was such a wonderful day! mommy, daddy & i all got to stay at home and do whatever we wanted to -- ALL day long! (we haven't had a day like that in quite some time!) so here are some of the fun things i enjoyed doing...

enjoying more gifts...

you know i love my beanie babies... well, one of mommy's friends at work gave me even MORE beanies! she gave me dogs, cats, a unicorn & a robin! in the second picture i am enjoying the xylophone that grandmommie gave to me at christmas.
