Friends

Friends are great! We always have so much fun together and the cool thing is that we are all so close in age. On Thursday nights when the adults get together for bible study the kids get to have fun playing with toys.
Look I'm a flower!
On the weekend Daddy taught me how to check the oil.On Monday, Mommy took me to go play in the sand at the beach, which I absolutely love to do! It was overcast and windy so Mommy had me wear my cool big-girl sweatshirt.
Yesterday night my friend, Abby, came over to play!
Friends are great! Always make sure they know you love them!

I'll be watching you...

I love adventures!

This week the Bryans and my family went to Seaport Village to walk around and watch performers. In the picture I am watching a man fly some very colorful kites. They are very pretty!



Here I am playing with my toys while I am watching my daddy wash windows.

I am watching my mommy and daddy put goofy things on my head.

Here I am helping my mommy watch my friend Ashlynn.

Growing just right!

This week was big for me! Mommy and I went to see Dr. Szold. He is so nice, but he did mention that I was a little dramatic. The doctor told me that I was growing just right! I'm 27.25" tall and I weigh 16.5lbs. My mommy started asking more questions about percentiles, which completely had me confused! I guess Dr. Szold said my height is in the 75th percentile and my weight is in the 50th.

Standing makes me so HAPPY!


Who needs SLEEP!
I learned how to CLAP!
FREEDOM!
I know how to cruise in my walker! It is very fun! A few times Mommy had to go to the other room so I took the opportunity to do a little exploring; when I decided I was finished I went and found her.

Life is Good and Getting Better

Hello Gang,

Have I mentioned that San Diego is wonderful? I am really enjoying my time here.
My week was great but my weekend was even better.

On Friday Mommy and I went to Mary and Emmanuel's house to celebrate Togo's Independence day. It was a lot of fun...but I was a little antsy because I knew that Daddy was coming home later that night...and I was really excited to see him.

On Saturday Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the beach. I was able to score myself some Wheat Thins. Boy are they tasty! I may only lick them until I get older.

On Sunday we went with our friends to Clay Park for a potluck. My Daddy and I enjoyed watching a good game of horse balls or trailer park golf.

Fun in San Diego

Life is great when you are little!

This last week Mommy, Daddy, and I went for a stroll in Balboa Park. It was so much fun. I got to relax and take a load off while Daddy pushed me around in my ride (aka stroller).

Then on Sunday we went to Matt Bryan's, one of Mommy's friend's husband, graduation party. It was so cool and it was decorated really cute too! There was all kinds of sheriff decor which was quite fitting seeing how Matt is now a sheriff. During the party Mommy and Daddy let me hang out in their hammock. It was a lot of fun just getting to lounge around. After all Sunday is a day of rest.

Yesterday was sooooo coooool! Mommy and I went to Mission Beach and played in the sand. I even got to sport my new itsy bitsy teeny weeny purple polka-dotted suit.

Have a great day!

Got Camo?

I like when I get to hang out with Daddy! He is fun!

Look I'm getting ready to crawl...ready or not here I come!

My Vacation to Michigan

Hello Everyone!

For those of you who may not know, I am in Michigan visiting family and friends with my mommy. We are having a great time! And I am loving all the attention that I am getting! It is so wonderful being loved!

Here is a little peek into my trip...

Here we are on a walk...I just love Wrigley! He looks like a bear!

Did you know I could play the guitar?

Grandpa Steve, Me, Mommy, and Uncle Steven.

What should I do next!?!

I like crackers! Mommy and Daddy tell me that I have a long tongue.

Happy Easter! He is Risen!
