Second Attempt

Here's my second attempt to get a reaction out of Puss...

...still no luck.

Happy Memorial Day!

Good morning everyone!
All geared up to hit the lake - what a beautiful day.
I went swimming in a lake for the first time this weekend! We had a fun two days at our friend Kevin's family's house in Lake Anna, VA. It was our second family vacation together, just the three of us. Mom and Dad both went out on the canoe (separately! they didn't leave me by myself!). I got to practice my walking a lot - I walked the whole way from the house to the lake holding Mom and Dad's fingers. Mostly we sat down by the water, and I played with all the twigs and stones. Monday evening on our way home, we went to Uncle Todd and Aunt Jennifer's house for dinner. I had fun playing with my cousins, and even got to see Uncle Chad. I ate some fish for dinner that Uncle Todd caught. Yum! I have a molar now and I've started to say "byebye" and give hugs. Happy Memorial Day!

Let my people go!

Waking up at Lake Anna on Memorial Day.

Strawberries!

Barrett brought some strawberries over for us that are growing next door and have just started to ripen. I LOVE strawberries! (Mom says sorry for the faulty camera work)...

We ate dinner outside tonight with Barrett and Aimee. Dad took my highchair out there. I tasted lime tonight - wow! Then I squeezed all the juice out of the lime. I got pretty dirty crawling around. It was fun.

More Steps!

Today was a big day! I walked about 3 feet toward mom to get my toothbrush! Then she grabbed the camera and took this video. I only took 3 steps in this one, but I'm getting there! It's so much fun to walk. It makes me giggle.

In this video I'm looking at myself in the video camera. I don't know how those things work!

In this last one, I'm going for my toothbrush again. At this point, crawling still gets me there faster.


Later today we went to the park to eat lunch, then to the zoo. Some bigger kids were playing with me at the park, calling me their little cousin. Then off to the zoo. We saw the otters playing under the water. Mom and I shared an ice cream cone. That also made me giggle!

My Sleepy Noises

Dad recorded me while I was lying in my crib in my room. Listen to my sleepy noises. Turn up your volume so you can hear me!

Look How Flexible My Legs Are

Aww.

I love my brother Puss Blanco.

Clapping

Working in the yard.


Yesterday I worked in the garden with Mom. She was planting flowers and herbs with our friends Aimee and Maggie. I've really enjoyed playing with the faucet out front and the door knobs around the house. I blow on the faucet... and I blow on flowers too.
Today we went to see my friend Anna and Mom and Dad's friends (Anna's parents), Christa and Dominic. Boy - Anna can really run and dance! I could learn a lot from her. We had fun playing together.
Later, at home, Dad and I ran together (he ran and pushed me in the stroller), then Mom and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. She gave me kisses with her eyelashes, which made me laugh! Tonight we ate pizza outside with Steve, Barrett, Aimee, Tim, Andrea, Maggie, Liza, and Kelly. I would clap my hands, then everyone else would clap their hands! When I stopped, they stopped! We did that for about 5 minutes, and everyone was laughing! It was really fun. I like to clap and make my lion face. It really gets people's attention.

What a Week!

Boy - I had an eventful week. Let me tell you about a few things that happened. Thursday was a big day. Mom and I went to the library in the morning for story and song time. I wanted to go look at the books, so I crawled away, but as soon as I did, they started singing "If you're happy and you know it". I stopped in my tracks, looked back, started crawling toward them, and stopped because I wanted to clap. Mom started laughing. She told me I was "so cute"! On our way home, we stopped to smell some really pretty flowers in our neighbor's yard. Mom also bought me three rubber balls and some refrigerator magnets. Later that night I brushed my teeth for the first time AND TOOK MY FIRST STEP!! That was really exciting
Then on Friday night I was gardening with dad. He let me put dirt in my mouth. I was really dirty! I also ate my first mushrooms for dinner this week. Yum!

Cute

Mom really likes this picture so she wanted to add it to my blog.

Happy Mother's Day!

This is what I did on Mother's Day - hit the slots! Really, we went to church and to our friend Andrew's birthday party. He has a slot machine in his house. I had fun putting the coins in the slot. Here's a picture of me with Andrew. Dad and I gave mom some flowers and an apple danish!

Grandparents

These are my Grandparents. This is Grandma Susan and Grandpa Randy having breakfast at my house.
And this is Grandmom Miller and Grandpop Miller holding my cousin Sean when he was just a little baby.

WooWoo

I had a really fun day today with Mom and Dad. We played and read and took a walk. I got a bath tonight. I love being in the water. Before the bath, Mom and I walked outback and we heard a dog barking. I imitated her by saying "woowoo, woowoo". Mom thought that was really cute.
Here are mom and me at the park a couple months ago.

Propped

This is my new way of riding in my stroller. Legs propped.

Grandmom Miller's Birthday Weekend

This past weekend, Mom and I went to Massanutten, VA to celebrate Grandmom Miller's 65th birthday. Uncle Todd, Aunt Jennifer, Sean, and Liam were there with Grandmom and Grandpop. We had fun! We went to Luray Caverns (I was WAY underground!), played mini golf, went swimming, and walked on the ski slopes. Happy Birthday Grandmom! Here are some pictures and videos from the weekend.
And this is my cousin Liam and me on the climbing wall.
