A few weeks ago Liam I started taking a swim class at rec center. We are going to Disney World this summer and Mommy and Daddy want me know how to swim before we go.
There are three other kids in my class we have lots of fun playing in the water.
My swimming teacher is showing me how to float on my back and on my tummy, and how to kick in the water
Because Liam is still little he has to be in a swim class with Daddy. They get to play with toys in the water like noodles, and sometimes Liam gets to sit on a big red cow shaped raft. That looked like so much fun that I wanted to do it last week.
We only have two weeks left of class, but I sure hope we get to come back to the pool soon.
I love to snuggle with my daddy when he watches the Chiefs
I love to snuggle with Daddy in the morning after I eat. Mommy got this picture of Daddy and me while we were sleeping this morning.
Lately I’ve been talking a lot about “play.”
Finally Mommy and Daddy figured out that I was talking about going to the playground in our neighborhood. Today the whole family walked up to the park and I got to play.
I played with a stick in the wood chips for a while.
I went down the big slide all by myself.
Liam hung out in the stroller.
Daddy played with me and helped me cross the bridge, because it was pretty slippery.
I had so much fun at the park that I didn’t want to leave, but Daddy said I had to go home and eat dinner.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
Today is Daddy’s Birthday and he is 32 this year. That sounds really old to me since I’m like 30 years less than that! Today I spent the day at home having fun with Grandma Sue. She and I always get really worn out when we’re together. Daddy, unfortunately has class tonight so, he has to spend his birthday doing school work. We did go out to dinner at one of Daddy’s favorite places last night for dinner, Old Chicago. Gram gave him some clogs and he had to put them on his head, like a silly goose!
Of course, Mommy and I had to make some funny faces too, we won’t be left out of the action! Here I am making my cute face and Mommy is doing the same thing! (I wonder how she learned to do that?) On a side note, I had to post these pictures of me doing one of my favorite things - laying on my “mingo” pillow with my blankie. “I LOVE IT!”

Today is Father’s Day and I thought I’d spend this post telling my Daddy how much I love him. First of all, I loved him from the beginning!
He and I had a connection from the time I was first born! When I was really little, everyone always said I looked just like him. We still look alike and make a lot of the same faces.
I’m a Chief’s fan, just like Daddy and I like to sit in his lap and watch football games with him. I know it will be even more fun when Liam and I can both watch the games with Daddy!
I also love to watch the Simpsons, which I call the “Doh One.” Daddy loves the Simpsons too, so that’s another thing we both like to do together. (Daddy got a dancing Homer Simpson figure for Christmas a couple years ago, and he sings funny songs.) Today, even though I didn’t get a picture of it, Daddy wore his Simpsons t-shirt that says “World’s Greatest Dad.” I definitely have the world’s greatest Daddy!
Today, Mommy and I made a peach-berry cobbler for a BBQ at her friend Emilie’s house. The picture above is a demonstration of the important work I was doing with Mommy to help. My main job was taking care of the peach pits. Mommy would cut the peaches and peel them and then I’d wash the pits really well for her. I also tried the pits to see what they were like. I thought they were good enough to share, so I gave some to Mommy.
When Daddy and Aunt Stacey came home from lunch, we all ate and then I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to take their shoes off, so I could try them on. First I wore Mommy’s flip-flops.
Here I am with Daddy’s socks on (Mommy wasn’t fast enough with the camera to get the shoes picture).
Finally, I wanted to wear Stacey’s flip-flops. It was fun to try on everyone’s shoes.
By the way, the cobbler turned out really good!
Gram got me the greatest thing ever on Tuesday. We had to go on some errands and she got me a big giant bouncy ball. I have been having fun playing with it and Daddy bounces me on the ball. We have been having fun kicking and playing “catch” too.
