Cousin Alyssa and Me!

This is going to be a big catch up post. There are a lot of pictures, but a picture speaks 1,000 words so that’s fine (especially since I don’t really even talk). This first one is to show that I now have one tooth. Since no one can really get a picture of my tooth, I’m posting a picture of me feeling my tooth with my tongue. Not the most flattering look, but there is truth here. I’m making this face a lot lately. Here is a picture of me and Daddy. I’m wearing a shirt that Nanny got me. I love sucking on the sleeves. Last weekend Mommy, Daddy and I went up to Vail for a retreat with Mommy’s work. My cousin Alyssa was there because her Daddy, Mommy’s cousin Shawn, works with my Mommy. We had so much fun. Mommy got us matching swimming suits so that we can match when we go to Hawaii this summer with them. Here we are modeling our suits. I’m trying to steal the show by being in front. We practiced swimming in the hot tub - Mommy turned the heat way down so it was safe for us. I had so much fun swimming, see… Here is mommy holding Alyssa and me before we went to dinner one night. We looked very cute. Alyssa and I love each other so much. We hug… and kiss. We went to the park and shared the swing, it was so much fun. Here I am having fun in the swing by myself. Daddy’s are great - my Daddy took me on the slide and so did Alyssa’s Daddy. What fun!! Then the whole family went in the hot tub together. We all love each other very much! After everyone left on Sunday afternoon Mommy, Daddy and I stayed until Monday, but went to dinner with Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Stacey. Here I am saying goodbye to them outside the restaurant before they went home. So, that’s all I got tonight. So bye, imagine I’m waving (which is my new favorite thing to do when I want to).

Dinner Time

Last night was the best dinner ever! Mommy and Daddy finally realized that I’m totally capable of feeding myself. Mommy fed me my veggies and some of my cereal and then she let me loose on the rest of the cereal. I think I did an excellent job, actually! As evidenced by the following pictures. I had a little more on my face, hands, arms, shirt, legs, bib and neck than the pictures show by the end of “eating” on my own than these pictures show. But, I had a lot of fun. OK, so it took me a little while to post this one, I’ve been waiting on my daddy to send me a video of this little foray into self-feeding. However, he still hasn’t sent it, and I’m going to just post it without it.

Splish, Splash!

I am such a big girl now. I am able to go in the big-girl bathtub. Here I am looking really cute and playing with my favorite thing to chew on - the bulb syringe. Splashing is my favorite thing to do in the bath. Sometimes I don’t care how long I’m in there or how much I shiver as long as I get to splash. Daddy always gets me snugly and warm in my towel after I get out of the tub. I like to take my bath toys with me too. I never knew staying clean could be so much fun.
