Sunday.

Today I went to go see my grand poo and nana. I took a long nap and then came back home. I colored, ran around like crazy screaming (a new thing I have been doing more lately), ate dinner, and took a bath. The pictures below are of me coloring. Do you see the red spoon in the picture? I found it in the kitchen cabinet. Mommy let me take a bath with it. I used the spoon in the bath to feed my no slip elmo pad bath water. I also fed the stick on fashion baby. After feeding them-I gave myself a little bath water with that plastic red spoon!







This is my new tricycle. What do you think?


Dada and I played before I went to bed. This is a video of him throwing me up in the air.

My Second Swim Class at Emler

I had such a busy day!

It started with my swim class at Emler this morning. Mommy and daddy took me. Mommy took pictures while daddy went to the swim class with me. We had so much fun. I went under water about 10 times and smiled through most of it. I clapped again after I went under water and when other kids did something good!

After swim class we came home and mommy gave me a bath. I wouldn't take a nap so we went to lunch with Whitney. After lunch we went and hung out by a pool for a while and watched other kids. I was running all over the place and mommy and daddy could barely keep up with me. There was a hill and I kept running up and down it. Mommy didn't know I could run up hills yet but I have really progressed with my walking/running abilities!

After the pool mommy and daddy took me to Toys R Us. I got a new pink computer, tricycle, and a remote controlled float that I can control on my own while I am in it in the pool. We are definitely going to use this tomorrow and mommy will be sure to take some videos!

I took a nap for an hour. When I woke up mommy and I went grocery shopping..This is definitely our least favorite thing to do. I got a little cranky at the store but once I got home and mommy fed me dinner I was ok. After dinner mommy gave me another bath and played with me while daddy went to go get a pizza.

I had a long exciting day. I am posting pictures and videos from my swim class so you can all see what I do!

Golf cart rides, potty charts, and hanging out at home.

Mommy and Da Da took me on a golf cart ride this evening. It was so much fun because I got to sit in between them. I would laugh when other golf carts would pass us up!


This is my potty chart. I have 3 stickers on it so I bet you can guess what happened again today!
I got to add another sticker. Pretty soon this will be filled up! The next picture showcases our artwork. Our = Laura and I. Laura's work of art is on the right and mine is on the left.




This is me looking at my fish!


This is me playing with my favorite thing ever-the remote.




I am playing with a puzzle in this picture.


I am teething again! It hurts so bad but I am doing the best I can to work through it. I have been waking up again in the middle of the night, drooling, have a runny nose, and hold my mouth a lot.

I do something new! I put my finger to my top of my head to act like I am thinking. Laura taught me this.

I have swim class tomorrow and daddy is getting in with me while mommy watches and she promises to take pictures and post them here tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Ring around the Rosie.....

Mommy is out of town again so daddy and I have been hanging out the past two days. He lets me eat popsicles and drives me around in his truck. We play every morning before Laura shows up and then she takes care of me for the day.



Laura and I went swimming yesterday and I really had a good time. I think a few mosquitos bit me though because I have bumps that itch now.

I really like talking now and I make up my own words for everything. Some times I get made because daddy says I can't have certain things so I get mad for a few minutes.

Laura made me lunch today and told me she was making dinner for daddy too. I didn't like the beans and rice very much so I had chicken and mac & gheez and apple fruit snacks for dessert.


My dad likes to take photos of me and then he shows me on the camera. I think it is funny. I figured out how to open doors, cabinets and drawers so daddy has been putting these locks all over the place so I get mad. No more pots and pans, pots and pans.


Oh, Laura and I were playing and singing a new song today. "Ring around the Rosie" and I twirl when she sings it.

Before I go, I need to tell you I poo poo'd in the potty again today, so now I have two stars on my potty achievement board.

Ba-bye for now....

I need some blocks!

I am a little monkey and I love to climb all over everything. I can crawl up on my toybox now and turn around and sit. I also can climb on the couch in the bathroom and the bench in the hall of the entry way of the house. These are pictures of me climbing on my toybox this morning.

Swimming

Mommy and I went swimming today. This is me and Dada before mommy and I got in the pool. Mommy thinks I look like Gigi in the face in this picture.

Tea Parties and Going to Work in my Car..

Yesterday daddy played in a golf tournament so mommy and I played all day.

We had a tea party with the tea set that my mom's last boss sent to me after she left her old company. I love this tea set and I gave my stuffed animals and dolls each a few sips of tea. The yellow puppy dog was given to me by Fran for Easter and I think he really liked the tea and food that I gave him with my fake tea spoon. I like to take care of all of my dolls...and I have a lot to take care of!



These are some pictures from the day.








This is the new face that I make a lot.





I started something new this weekend. I give my dolls to my mommy and dadddy, get in my car and say bye and wave bye. Then I get out of the car, say hi, walk over to mommy and daddy, and give them a hug and get my dolls. I see this when my parents go to work every day so this is what I am copying. Mommy video taped this.



I went to Vaquero to dinner with mommy, daddy, Whitney, Uncle Damian, and Aunt Sharia. It was sushi night but I had Gerber turkey sticks, mashed potatos, edamame, and carrots. I won't stay still anymore at dinner and try to climb out of my highchair. I actually am so good at this I am able to get out of the seat belt and stand on the seat. It was so much fun hanging out with Damian and Sharia. I really like to look at Damian and smile. I hope I get to go see them again soon.

Talking to Cosmo

Mommy and Aunt Heather are crazy. Cosmo was asking to talk to Layla so they tried to get me to talk to Cosmo but it didn't really work too well. I just want to push all of the buttons on her phone. Hearing Cosmo talk did make me smile!





Mommy took me to swim lessons on Saturday morning. Since she was on the pool with me she couldn't take pictures until after the lesson on the way home. I did really good. I went down a slide at the end and went under water again. I was pretty tired after my lesson and took a bath and a long nap.

My Babies!

These are some pictures of my mommy and I. Check out my scarf. I love to put things around my neck..tape measures, strings, scarves, etc.




I have a lot of babies..My baby dolls, this little girl in a picture that was attached to a tag on my clothes, the remote, a baby doll that I play with in the bath, and more. I like to hug my babies and say baby and give my baby a pat on the back.

This is my baby in the bath.






This is my remote baby and my elmo baby.








This is my baby doll that Aunt Heather gave me.



Do you want to know what I did today? Laura and I drew with chalk all over the front driveway. We also had a tea party with the tea party set that Mommy's old boss Dana gave me...with the fake sandwich food. I don't like when the door is shut so Laura put a toybox in front of it so I couldn't get out. I heard Mommy about to leave the house to go to work and I went over and started yelling at her trying to get her attention.

I also am doing another new thing...I make this o face with my mouth. I do this all of the time.

I couldn't leave without a little dancing for you. This is me dancing to the wiggles. There is this part in the Wiggles video with kids dressed up as animals and every time they come on I go crazy. Mommy caught me! Notice how my American Girls entire head is braided. I am talking about the blonde one. Why do you need to take your American Girl doll to the store to get her hair done when your nanny can do it at home?
