Almost 80 degrees!

Today was a beautiful day and I got to wear short sleeves, shorts, and no shoes! We went to the co-op this morning, then to the zoo to see my favorites. Here I am contemplating the prairie dogs. They're so cute. We got caught in the rain, which was fun - I was splashing the water on the tray of my stroller. My hair and toes got wet!

Puss Blanco and Me coexisting (notice the Jacob's ladder present that uncle Kevin made me in my right hand!)

I've recently learned to share (or atleast hold things up to people like I'm going to give them to them). This includes my food, toys, pieces of mulch, the remote, etc. Here's me "sharing" a piece of cereal.

No reaction from the cat.

We tried to go swimming today but the rec center was closed because of a gas leak. So we went to the garden shop instead and bought some flowers and a plant. Mom bought me a flower. Here's a picture of me with it.


Earlier today I tried to get Puss Blanco to give me a reaction, but it didn't work. I'm 13 months old today.

My baptism

Today is the one year anniversary of my baptism. I'm including a picture of me from that day. I was tiny back then!
I was with Devora and Timmy for most of the day today, then when mom and dad came home we ate dinner. We danced a lot after dinner! I've learned how to turn the volume up and down on the stereo. I love doing that!

Going Under

I've been feeling a little under the weather yesterday and today, so I've been sleeping a lot. Not much to report, so I'm going to include a couple videos. First is of me going under the water with dad (mom finally edited the video!) and second is of me and my friend Tanzie in Virginia Beach (her mom and my mom were friends in high school).

Water Break

I was out on the trail today with mom. I was on the lookout for birds and squirrels. One squirrel I was watching started to scratch it's ear, which made me laugh. Then it was eating something - mom said it looked like how I eat Cheerios - with two hands, nibbling a little off at a time. There weren't many people out there - I think because it was cloudy and had rained. But we did run into our friend Bella. The picture is of when we stopped to drink some water. I fell asleep after that. I was pretty tired from the weekend. Friday night was Kelly's hootenanny (I'd never been to a hootenanny!) And last night I was with Aimee and Barrett while mom and dad were at a dinner and dance at dad's school. I had a great time! Their friends were there with their little girl - so we played and played. Right now I'm swinging mom around in the computer chair while she types this for me.

My cousins

These are my cousins Isaiah, Liam, and Sean. I really love them.

Parks and Pools

Went to the park again yesterday. Dad met us there on his way home from school. I had to show off for him and show him how I could go down the slide just holding his one finger. I think he was impressed. Then he pushed me on the swing for a long time - I usually start shaking after a minute or two, but that didn't happen yesterday!
Today mom and I went swimming. I'm including a picture of me in my new swimsuit that Devora - my babysitter - gave me for my first birthday. You can see the front and the back. It's very cute. I took a long nap this afternoon. Swimming always wears me out. Got an email from uncle Kevin today. He's on Kissimmee river. That's a fun word. Kissimmee. I'm going to try to say that one next, after I get "kitty" down.
