a dandy of a day...

these pictures are from wednesday when mommy & i went for a stroll around the neighborhood. we picked dandelions & clover from people's yards & met these geese when we passed the lake.

a simple joy...

mommy & i joined daddy down in the garage on tuesday afternoon. he has this rolling stool that he uses for work on the car, but i thought it was a great toy. i hope this video won't make you dizzy! i am also posting a couple of pics from tuesday.

a day with daddy...

i am starting to use a plate because mommy says i need to learn to not throw plates in the floor when we go out to eat.



daddy & i hung out around the house today while mommy went to work. we always have great fun! i like to watch ABBA & old 80's videos on the computer.

update on cuteness...

these are just random cute pictures...

having a bucket-of-fun...

this bucket has a special lid with holes for certain shapes to go through. i am getting better at putting the right shape into the correct hole. but sometimes, i'd rather just put things in, take things out, put things in, take things out... it's nice to just PLAY and not have to WORK so hard.

happy birthday to me...

ok, ok... so i know my birthday isn't really until august. BUT grammy & pappy wanted to give me this water & sand play table for my birthday.

they thought it would best for me to be able to play with it all summer long while the weather is nice. and oh, how i am enjoying it! it's great to get dirty & wet & not get in trouble for doing it!

cleaning out grammy's camera...

mommy was looking through the pictures on grammy's camera tonight & we realized that there are several i need to share with everyone. so enjoy!

running amuck...

i know i shouldn't run in the house, but sometimes i forget -- and it's just too much fun! several times yesterday, i ran down the hall to the laundry room. it's a nice long, straight shot; so i thought it was perfect for running. or maybe i just want to run more because my new tennis shoes are actually big enough for my growing feet now! anyway... here are a few pics of my silliness...

a busy day of rest...

today we went to worship AND sunday school -- remember, last week was my first time to go for both parts of church. (the whole time lasts from about 9am to 1230.) when mommy dropped me off at my class, i didn't cry, and i even faught to get down from her so i could go & play! i enjoy my class now! my teachers give me a snack & we go out to the playground & run around! of course this makes me ReAllY tired! today i only had about a 30 minute nap; part in the car & part at the restaurant where we ate lunch. we went to eat with our friends mrs. robyn & mr. don. after lunch i noticed an area of grass beside the restaurant, so i decided to hunt for leaves & flowers. daddy, mrs. robyn & mr. don sat & talked while mommy & i played in the grass. we had SO much fun!

hangin' out around the 'hood...

today mommy & i just stayed close to home. it was so nice to not have any errands to do. we played at home, strolled around the neighborhood & went to the park. we saw these pretty white flowers in someone's side yard -- i hope they didn't mind me enjoying them a little!

the bulldozer back-bend...

grammy has a book about cordouroy the bear & all the ways he "rolls" around, like on a skateboard or a wagon. one of the pages is about a bulldozer, and whenever i read that page, i just want to go crazy. usually grammy has to hold me so i don't fall into something & get hurt. even though there's nothing on the page about going backwards or looking up, that is what i like to do -- every time!

just a normal day...

this morning we got out early to shop for new tennis shoes for me & also to go grocery shopping. mommy has been looking for the new tennis shoes for a while now... it seems everything is either too pink or silver like aluminum foil. but we found these cute kicks at kohl's -- of course! that is mommy's favorite store! then we played around the house & went to the park. we've started playing with bubbles at the park too, but it's hard for mommy to blow the bubbles AND take pictures. maybe daddy can help us with that soon! in these pictures, i am playing with a flower from my Easter basket.

fun at the park...

these pics are from my trip to the park on tuesday this week. like always, we just walk around, looking at leaves & grass. and of course we SWING!

special delivery...

when i visited kendall & ellie a couple of weeks ago, they let me play with a neat mailbox. mommy found the same mailbox at the store & she brought it home for me!

a loving spoonful & more...

sorry it's been a few days since my last post. these pictures are from sunday at grammy & pappy's house. mommy & i went there after church -- and sunday school is getting so much better for me! i am getting used to my class & the other children. this time i actually went for 2 hours so mommy could go to the worship service AND sunday school. i was VERY sleepy by the end, but my teachers said i did really well!

so these first pics of grammy helping me to learn to use a spoon. i usually just picked the orange off the spoon, but sometimes the spoon made it into my mouth! i will keep trying!











these next pictures are of me playing with the blue spikey ball. i LOVE this ball! i am getting better at chasing the ball when someone throws it to me. and i always love to throw the ball, although my aim still needs some work.














these last pictures are of me playing with grammy's necklace & saying hello to conrad the cat. on sunday i started calling conrad a "dak" -- i guess that's as close to "C-A-T" as i can say right now. on a similar subject, my word for dog is usually "caw." maybe i just have some sounds mixed up. but i am defintely repeating those same words over & over. i know what i'm saying & soon you'll understand me too!

a day trip...

today daddy & i went to tuscumbia to visit with family for the day. i played in the park & my aunt judy brought this neat butterfly outfit to me! mommy says she can't wait to try to take more pictures of me in it!
