That Time of Year

This has to be my most favorite time of the year! Yes, my allergies bother me, the mosquitoes are out, and it is hot, but that is all worth it. I just love being outside. As soon as Mom pulls up with me from daycare, it is not even an option to go inside. Mom changes clothes, grabs us a snack, and we are heading outside. I have some fun things in the backyard so it is pretty cool. Yesterday, I spent almost 3 hours straight outside. Mom makes sure I get my liquids but I think she and Dad have just come to realize that going inside is going to be a fight. Once I get in and get settled, I am ok of course, but I am just so hurt to have to come inside.



Sunday, I went to hang out with my aunt, uncle, and cousins and played outside at their house. It was so much fun and every evening when I get home, I play outside at my house. Mostly, I like to be on my swing but also like to play (actually throw) in the sand, slide, go for walks and wagon rides. I am having so much fun and cannot wait until Mom is off for the summer so we can get into a lot of activities, all outside of course :)

May is Well Under Way

Well May is getting away from us. It seems like it just turned May and now, it is approaching the Memorial holiday and about to be June. I am really enjoying the nicer weather and hope that the rain will just end already so I can get outside to play more.

We are a bit behind with updating everyone this month but it has been a rough month. I got 4 new teeth and now 2 more are coming in so when that happens, I get a little cranky-cause it kinda hurts! Since last updated you, there has been a lot happening in our family.

1. Mom spent several days in the hospital with a pretty bad kidney infection. Although I really missed Mommy and felt bad, I was able to stay with my Aunt and Uncle and cousins for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun and took my mind off of Mommy.

2. Mother's Day - it was a good thing I gave Mommy her gift early because she was in the hospital that day so I didn't get to celebrate with her. I did come to visit and bring her a balloon later though.

3. Daddy's Birthday - we celebrated Daddy's birthday. I got him a gift card to our favorite ice cream spot so we could enjoy together. Since Mommy was still recovering, Daddy and I got to spend a lot of quality time together so that was really nice too.

4. New bike - I still enjoy my little bike from Mamaw and Papaw but I am getting to be a little tall for it already. I am really growing so Mommy and Daddy (mostly Daddy since it was his idea) went and got me a new bike this week. Daddy had a specific one in mind but I just did not like it. Mommy and Daddy were confused because they thought it would be perfect and I was probably tall enough to ride it. I still just did not like it for some reason. I pushed it away and went to the one that I wanted. They were on sale and it just happened that the one I wanted costed even less! So we went with that one. Now, the problem is that I can reach the pedals but cannot pedal so I will keep working on it. Good thing, I still have my other bike.

5. Doctor with Mommy - Mommy had a check up visit this week with the doctor and I had to go with her since Daddy was working. It wasn't too bad. They all thought I was so cute so they gave me goodies. The doctor even gave me a huge sucker that I ate and ate - and made a gigantic mess with! It helped me get through all the tests and blood they had to do on Mommy. I was a pretty good partner and supported her during her appointment.


We are looking forward to more fun during May as the weather gets nicer and nicer and family is visiting soon for my cousins' birthdays! Hopefully, no more mishaps will keep us from updating you sooner.

21 Months Old

Well I am now officially closer to 2 years old. Much to my parents dismay, I am already acting much like a two year old. I have begun to hit those "terrible twos" as they call them. Mom and Dad have really had to step up their game with the discipline because I am really working them :)

I am really enjoying this spring weather and absolutely love being outside. If it is nice outside, I come home from school and go right outside to play. Sometimes we even have dinner outside because it is the only way that I will eat. Overall, I am doing alright!



Some of my favorites are: Being outside doing anything, wearing my bike helmet around the house, playing with my baby dolls, putting on Mommy's shoes (especially heels), jumping on the couch, climbing on everything

Some of the new things I can do are: repeat any word you say (watch out!), communicate on the phone, wash myself, sit in my booster seat (I don't like the high chair anymore), and much more!

Spring Break . . . Sort of!

Last week was Spring Break and even though it wasn't really MY Spring Break, I got to have fun with Mom and Dad since Mom was off all week. It was a pretty fun week and when Mom dropped me off at daycare today, I cried. I enjoyed my time with them so much that I was not ready to go back, just like Mom and Dad were not ready to go back to work.

After such a busy and exciting Easter holiday, we took a break on Monday and all relaxed. On Tuesday, we had a playdate with my cousins to go to the zoo. It was supposed to be such a nice day, with highs in the 70s but when we got to the zoo, it seemed that we had watched the wrong weather broadcast. It was not sunny and wasn't very warm at all. BUT, the fun part was that I got to hang out with my cousins and aunt. We had a lot of fun looking at the animals, walking around, eating lunch and snacks together, and walking through the zoo. A lot of the animals were even out moving around. It was a good thing we got to see some because when we were about to go see the prairie dogs, the staff warned us to take shelter because a storm was coming and they were putting the animals away. We thought about taking shelter in the penguin area but just decided to make a run for it. We made it in the knick of time because it began to pour when we pulled out.


After a nice long nap with Mom, we ventured out to one of the local malls. It is a small mall, so I am able to walk around and even play in their play area. They are a small mall so they just recently added their play area, and I love it! It is not crowded during the week, so I am able to be crazy and have a lot of fun, as you can see.


Because it was rainy most of the week, I tried to play outside as much as possible but usually only later in the evenings was when it cleared up. Because of all the rain, I made some playdates to have my own fun inside. Later in the week, we met up with my friend and his Mommy at a great play place. We had so much fun that neither of us wanted to leave. I just HAVE to have one of these loungers for my "big girl" room. It was fun to spend time with him because he is only 5 days older than me. It was a blast and I cannot wait to get together again soon.


As the weekend started, we already had plans with my Godbrother. We went to brunch then over to the fruit and veggie market to stock up for the coming week. After the market, we went to a flea market that was new to the area. We didn't buy anything but my Godbrother and I sure did have fun running around and playing with these balloons. Later that evening, Dad took Mom and I to the mall and dinner. What a great way to end the day!


Yesterday, I slept in SOOOOO late. I did not get up until 10:30am. Wow, it felt good. I guess playing so much had me tired. Once I got up and going, I got a great surprise! Mom got home from the grocery and had a new golf set for me. Mom and Dad tried to teach me the "correct" way to use it but I didn't want to play golf yet so I just carried my club and ball around all day, literally. We all went on a wagon ride to the park and I played on the playscape but mostly stayed on the swing. It is my favorite thing at the park. After the park, we went for ice cream and wow, did I make a mess! I was loving that ice cream but I put up quite a fight for Mom and Dad when we were all done. I did not want to leave!



I had so much fun yesterday, I guess I got a little delusional because last night, I was a mess! I was doing things that were just crazy and Mom and Dad kept getting on me about it but I guess I am a little hard-headed and had to find out for myself. I love to climb and pretty much am not afraid of anything (well, except boys and men). I climb on chairs, the couch, my toys, everything! I have this new thing now where I stand in my baby's stroller and jump around. After getting in trouble for standing in it once, I thought I had to try again, maybe Mom and Dad would not notice? Just as I climbed up, BOOM! I fell, face first! It was my first major crash and was bloody and everything! It was pretty scary and I cried for a while. Mom and Dad were pretty worried that I would wake up with a fat lip but this morning, I had a few scrapes on my cheek and above my lip. Other than that, I was ok.

It is back to our normal activities now but we will enjoy it anyway! Maybe I will actually get to play outside more this week. I cannot wait until it actually STAYS warm! Have a great week everyone!

Easter Fun

This weekend was a lot of fun! It all started on Friday when I got up early to go have breakfast with the Easter bunny. I met my buddy there and the fun got started. We got to do our Easter egg hunt first and I was pretty good at that. Once Mom showed me how to get started, I was off. I collected my eggs and got to trade them in for a purple stuffed bunny as my prize.


After that, we got to have our pancake breakfast and decorate our cookie. It sure was a lot of fun. The bad part was that when I gave the Easter bunny a hug, Mom didn't get the picture and I would not go back to let her get it. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun. When we got home, I was so excited because Mamaw and Papaw had come to visit.



After hanging out with Mamaw and Papaw that evening, we all got some sleep to prepare for our day on Saturday. We had plans to go to the zoo for a special Easter event as well. But when we got there, there were so many people, they had closed the entrances until later because they were too full. We were so disappointed because we were meeting my cousins there. Since we had already planned to come back to my house afterwards, we left the zoo and came home. Once we got home, we ate and Mom had planned an Easter egg hunt. It was so much fun with my cousins. There was even goodies inside the eggs we found.


After that, I got to open up my Easter basket from Mamaw and Papaw. It was full of great stuff as always! Once my cousins had left, I kept the Easter egg hunt late into the night. Mom and Mamaw kept hiding them around the house so I could have more fun.


This morning, we got up for breakfast and Mamaw and Papaw had to head home. I was so sad! I got to open up my basket from Mom and Dad which had lots of stuffed animals in it. Dad took me to some friends for dinner and I got yet another basket full of fun stuff. It was so much fun and I am sure I will crash tonight. I just hope that everyone else out there got to enjoy family and friends and celebrate the holiday as wonderfully as I did! Happy Easter.

Yo Gabba Gabba Live Weekend

Over the weekend, I had the best treat ever! Mom, Dad, and I drove down to visit Granny P and see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! What a blast! Believe it or not, I was so excited to go and then when the show started, I actually was a little scared. When all the Yo Gabba Gabba friends came out, everyone yelled and cheered, except me, I got upset. I love music but I did not like all the screaming. Once the show got underway, I settled down and had a blast. It was so much fun because all the friends were there: Foofa, Toodee, Brobee, Plex, Muno, and even Biz Markie did his "beat of the day".


I had so much fun over the weekend that on the way back, I was exhausted and crashed. But it was all worth it!

Styling and Profiling

I love shoes! I know that you are not surprised if you know my Mom and Dad but, I love shoes! I have this new thing where I love putting on Mom's shoes. I tried to put on Dad's but they are so big, I cannot get around in them. In Mom's, it is much easier. My favorite pair is a red pair of heels that Mom wore to work this week. Any chance I get I go put these on and YES, I do walk around in them. I play in them, work in my kitchen in them, and overall, just look cute in them. Check me out . . .
