(A note from Mommy: OK I feel like I’ve been such a slacker since there were no posts between April and when Amelia was born! I hope to keep things a little more updated now.)

18. Alice played outside in the sand and found some candy in the pantry at Gram’s house.

19. We drove a long, long way in the car and got to eat junk food. Mommy said she never would have let Alice do that when she wasn’t even 1 yet.

25. We went to the homestead farm.

26. Alice and Alyssa went swimming in a freezing cold little pool.

27. I joined in the fun.

Then we went home in the car a long, long way again. We had fun and that brings us to the end of May.

Today we celebrated Aunt Stacey’s birthday a lot. First Daddy and I joined the rest at Mommy, Daddy and Stacey’s office for lunch at one of Stacey’s favorite restaurants, Chili’s. We ate lunch and then I decided that Mommy and Daddy and I should hold hands to commemorate the day.

After lunch, Mommy went back to work and Daddy and I went home so I could take a nap. Then, when Mommy got home from work, we went to Platte River Grill to meet Stacey, Gram, Genia, Jackee and a bunch of Stacey’s knitting friends for dinner. It was quite a party. We sat on the deck, outside and it was very hot, but there was live music, and I had a lot of fun and ate some yummy chicken fingers and fries with lots of ketchup!

Stacey got to open presents from her friends and show them around to everyone.

She got quite a few good presents. She has a lot of people who love her! Including me! Thanks for letting me come to your party.

Today is national knit in public day and Gram and Stacey spent time with some of their knitting friends doing just that.

I, on the other hand, went to the pool this morning with Mommy, her friend Joy, Joy’s baby James (who is only 7 weeks old and very tiny), and Karina. We had fun and I got to play with a bigger girl and a little girl in the little pool. It was nice because they had pool toys too, so there was lots of fun stuff to play with! After the pool we came back to the house for lunch and I took a nap while Mommy hung out with Joy and the baby. Soon we’re going to have a little baby like that in our house. That’s gonna be weird!

The most fun part of the day for me was when I got to go out to Grandma Sue’s house and have dinner at the Paradise Asian Cafe. I love eating rice and soy sauce almost more than anything else in the whole world.

While I waited for my food I got to draw on the place-mats. There are great pictures of animals on there and Daddy helped me by drawing more animals for me to color.

Stacey and her knitting friends were there too, but they had to sit at a different table than us, because there were too many people for one table. I had fun saying hi to Cyn Cyn, Michelle, Thomas and Aunt Stacey from my table. I love Saturdays, they’re so fun.
