The Fair

Hi Granny! I just want you to know that my brief blogging absence is not my fault. It isn't even my Mom's fault. It's my cousin Kristina's fault. See, she and Sean have been visiting from NYC and Kristina has been the official photographer of the holiday weekend. Since she has yet to send me any pictures, I have been unable to blog. I promise to catch you up on the weekend once she sends some pictures.

So, I guess I'll tell you about the fair that my Mom, Dad and I went to.

It was great. I practiced my walking.

And played some instruments fashioned out of some old farm materials.

I also went in the petting zoo. That was really cool. There were animals everywhere and they didn't mind if I started to pet them. Then my Dad helped me wash my hands off.

I dried them off on his face.

I love you, Granny!

Making a Birthday Card

Hi Granny! Today is my Great Mama's 88th birthday, so I decided to make her a birthday card.

I had a lot of fun picking out the perfect colors to use.

But it was close to dinner and I was a little hungry. I just wanted a little nibble.

But my Mom wouldn't let me. It was very upsetting.

I love you, Granny!

Goodbye, Aunt Mira

Hi Granny! I'm very sad to report that Aunt Mira left today. Since she was leaving, we made the most of the morning. We read books.

Then we went to the playground.

Aunt Mira helped me do some walking.

She also helped me navigate some of the tough spots.

We had a LOT of fun.

I love you, Granny!

Still Walking

Hi Granny! I am obsessed with walking. Luckily, Aunt Mira is here to walk with me. We spent a long time walking on the grass.

Then we walked around the library.

All this walking tires me out, so my Mom did some foot therapy (in the form of kissing).

I love you, Granny!

Peekaboo!

Hi Granny! Where am I?

Peekaboo!

I've been very busy with Aunt Mira.

We've been doing a LOT of walking.

And eating strawberry shortcake, which I hear is your favorite. We'll have to eat some next time we are together.

I love you, Granny!

Just Walking

Hi Granny! I'm sorry I haven't been blogging lately. Things have been VERY busy around here. Between moving, visits from Aunts and WALKING, I've hardly had time to sleep, much less blog. Anyhow, back to walking.

It is pretty much all I want to do. Luckily, I have lots of grown ups who are willing to practice with me.

While I don't ALWAYS need their help, sometimes it is really nice to hold hands with my grown ups.

I love you, Granny!

Just Being Cute

Hi Granny! I'm just hanging out in the laundry basket looking cute.

Really cute.

Can't you see how cute I am?

I love you, Granny!

Rings

Hi Granny! I have lots of toys, but few are more fun than my ring set.

I put one ring on the base and one on my foot for safe keeping.

Or, I can put one on each foot.

I can also use them while doing my calisthenics.

Or I can, of course, just shove my face in a ring.

I love you, Granny!

Shopping for a Dryer

Hi Granny! Have you ever gone shopping for a new washer and dryer? Well, I did today and can totally show you the ropes.

First, you have to get really close and give it a good inspection.

Then you need to take a look inside.

And don't forget to comparison shop.

It is important to know whether you are getting the best one!

I love you, Granny!

Daddy's Home!

Hi Granny! My Dad came home from a LONG business trip last night. I didn't get to see him until this morning because he got home so late. Granny, I hadn't seen him since Saturday! To celebrate his homecoming, my Mom, Dad and I went out for Chinese food.

I wasn't sure whether to eat the chopsticks.

Or eat my hand while holding the chopsticks.

But then my Dad started feeding me with the chopsticks, and I knew we finally got it right.

I love you, Granny!

Happy Birthday Aunt Nicole!

Hi Granny! Today is Aunt Nicole's 39th birthday. That means that next year she will be forty. I decided to celebrate by wearing a festive hat and having a picnic at the park.

The celebration continued at home with another festive hat.

I love you, Granny!

Happy Birthday, Granny!

Happy birthday, Granny! You and I have had a LOT of good times together this year. I thought this would be a good time to show you some of my favorites.

I love you, Granny! I hope you are having a great time in Florida!

Ice Cream Cone

Hi Granny! Today my Mom, Aunt Liz and I tried to go to the zoo. Granny, we drove around the parking lot for at least 20 minutes and couldn't find a place to park! So, we rallied and drove to the outdoor train museum. Unfortunately, there was construction, so we couldn't go in. Since our plans were foiled, my Mom let me have some blueberry yogurt in an ice cream cone.

Granny, it was delicious!

And when I say delicious, I mean really delicious.

Then my Mom decided I had enough and I got really sad.

I love you, Granny!
