Your love is better than Ice Cream

August 13, 2006 - Wait, what did that title say? I'm gonna have to disagree... I've moved up to a big cone and can eat it myself. Top or bottom, it's still awesome!

I love you for your Pink Cadillac...

August 13, 2006 - Picked up my new ride today. The Pink Escalade EXT with optional subs in the bed. We lowered her a bit and gave her some Dubs. Sweet...

World's (or at least Blogspots) Collide!

August 11, 2006 - We went to the Zoo today and met Ms Kristy and Big D (Dillon). While we were there, we ran into Dillon's sitter and her three kids (you can get to their website off of Dillon's page). Mom was able to snap of picture of Dillon and I watching the elephants but couldn't get one with all the kids together... We'll just have to meet there again!

Hi Avery, Emerson, and Cole. It was nice to meet you!

Pop Quiz!

July 24, 2006 - What significant accomplishment did I achieve in these pictures? Answer is in the comments...

Silde, slide, slipety slide...

July 24, 2006 - More backyard fun!

(More) Summer, Summer, Summertime...

July 23, 2006 - Here are a few more (well, the rest) pictures of me at the beach in Grand Haven. And just some cute ones of me!

Vacation, all I ever wanted. Vacation had to get away...

July 22, 2006 - Sorry for the long absence but we just got home from vacation (but isn't EVERY DAY a vacation for babies?!?). Our destination was a little slice of heaven in Grand Haven, Michigan. Our cottage was 1 block off of Lake Michigan but had our own little beach to do whatever we wanted! It was great; I got to sleep in, eat whatever I wanted (ice cream & fish crackers!) and even watch a bit of the Tour de France (Go FLOYD!!).

Here's a picture of me and Grandma Terry at the Grand Haven lighthouse and another with the 'rents on the boardwalk in Downtown Grand Haven. And there's one in there of a freighter entering the harbor and one of our little beach. I found out I'm not a big sand person but was just happy to sit on a towel and play with my toys.

I'll be sure to post more later. I'm off to take a nap. Vacationing is exhausting!!

More Weekend Pics

July 4, 2006 - Well, here are a few more pictures from my weekend... There's one of grandma, mom, Aunt Mo and me. Do you think we look alike? And there's a cute one of me.

BTW - Welcome to the world Madeline! Can't wait to play with you too.

"Independance" Weekend

July 1, 2006 - This weekend we had a house full of visitors!! Grandma came down from Michigan on Saturday and Grandpa from Michigan and my Aunt from Nevada came to see me on Sunday!! Here's a picture with me and Grandpa and one with me and Aunt Melissa. Oh it was fun and I got all the attention! Have a good flight home Aunt Mo and come back to see me soon...

By the way, Miss Independant is DONE with crawling. Walking is much faster and I can get away from mom and dad easier too! Look out world!

These boots are made for walking...

June 28, 2006 - After 2 days of being under the weather, mom and dad decided new shoes would cheer me up. My feet measured as a size 3.5 EXTRA WIDE (thanks mom)!! So, here's what that size looks like... Now I can walk around the house even faster!

Teeth Update

June 25, 2006 - I'm glad SOMEONE finally figured out why I'm so grumpy lately. The reason - THREE new teeth!!! I've finally gotten the front upper right one thru on the top and there's 2 upper molars thru too. Sorry, no pictures though. I'm not letting anyone in there until the pain subsides. I'm pretty sure there's more coming cause I'm a drooling machine this week. Aren't we done with these things yet?!?

Dad's Day

June 18, 2006 - Today is Dad's Day so in honor of this, I'll read your card for you, open your present for you and you'll take me for a walk in the backpack. Wait, who's day is this again?!?

Swimming Round 2

June 13, 2006 - For some reason the parental units deem it necessary for me to actually like water. This week I started my second round of swim lessons. It was fine when I was a baby and didn't know what was going on but now that I'm big, it's a different story. The other kids in the class seem to be under this spell since most of them seem to enjoy it. However, as a higher intelligence being I know the real story. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

Dad and Me

June 12, 2006 - Just 3 pounds shy of the weight limit, I've decided I do really like being in the backpack!

My first BBQ!

June 3, 2006 - We had visitors tonight for a BBQ at our house. Our friend Charlotte and her parents were in town all the way from Pennsylvania!! We won't hold that against her though... I am, after all, a true BLUE fan. Don't Wolverines eat Nittany Lions? OK, OK, I was a good girl and let her play with my toys. Here's a picture of Charlotte and her mom.

I also got to give more hugs to Cohen's mom. She's so fun!!

Keepin' your head above water

June 1, 2006 - It's been so hot lately that mom finaly went out and got me a pool. Um mom, is THIS supposed to make me feel cooler?!?

Steps!

May 28, 2006 - Now that I can get into the rocker, I need a way to get out!! These legs actually do something!! I can stand up from my chair and take a few steps. I need to hit the Quad machine cause I don't quite have the endurance yet. A few more squats and mom will be chasing me throught the house! YEEHAW!

Chillin the Most

May 26, 2006 - I don't remember having this but mom swears I used to sleep in this bouncer all the time. Well, now I can crawl into my rocker, turn around and plop into the seat. Put in Little Einstein's in the DVD player (yeah, I know what buttons to hit on the remote), get a good cup of milk and my burpie and I'm in heaven!!

Back away from my chair and no one gets hurt...

May 19, 2006 - OK, so I've had it with this baby stuff. Everyone tries to put that spoon in my mouth. Well, I'll have none of it anymore!! Put some food on that spoon, lay it on the tray and back away from my chair. I can do it myself (although you may end up wearing some of it)!! Don't say I didn't warn you!!

BTW - Tooth #6 made an appearance a few days ago... I have 3 teeth on top and 3 on the bottom.

Genius

May 12, 2006 - And to think, someday I might just rule the world...

"Book"

May 3, 2006 - Mom keeps trying to teach me the sign for "book"; I know exactly what she means but I'm gonna hold out a little while longer (For the record, I know "eat", "more", "all done" and just recently discovered "bath"). In the meantime, I'm gonna clean the shelf...

The Zoo

April 28, 2006 - We went to the zoo today and met Dillon and his mom there... here's a picture of us. My favorite is the aquarium and the manatees. They're funny!

Cupboards

April 27, 2006 - Found a new cupboard today. It's huge in here and these things can make so much noise too!

Baby Basketball

April 26, 2006 - I got this fun bouncy ball for Easter and I just can't get enough of it! Maybe I'll be in the WNBA someday... although I might need to grow some legs first!

Easter 2006

April 16, 2006 - Happy Easter everyone!! The Easter Bunny came to visit and here's what I got (before the wrecking ball and after...).

My 1st Birthday Party

April 8, 2006 - It's my party and I'll cry if I want to... Well, I had my first birthday party this weekend (a little late but whatever...) and it went pretty well. There were lots of people and babies here and they were all in my toys!! I did get lots of presents and those were nice. But by the time we got to the cake and singing (oh the singing), it was just too much to take. I was exausted (and running a fever) by the end of the night... Well, here's some pictures of the big event. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with me! Oh, here is a picture of my Grampa and me. Everyone thinks we look alike. He is a very COOL Guy!!
Mom here: looks like Grandpa got a hold of the password and made some modifications...

Biking

April 2, 2006 - Woohoo! Spring is here. And so is another tooth (if anyone is counting, that's 5 total). After mom numbed my gums and gave me some drugs, we went for a bike ride. After a short walk to get me acquainted, dad took off and we rode for an hour. Faster dad!!
