Our weekend away

This past weekend we went to Chattanooga for a few days of rest and relaxation. It was so much fun. I didn't know there were so many fun things to do away from home. I had a blast at the Creative Discovery Museum. There, they had a little playhouse with things just my size. There was a slide, a train, a stove and refrigerator, a theater, even food that tasted like plastic! If the bubble pit hadn't called to me, I could have stayed in there the whole day.

They also had a library complete with a reader that let me sit in her lap for a story. After, we went up to the rooftop play area and played in more bubbles and on a swing (from previous posts you know those are my favorite.)

We also went to Coolidge Park and I got to ride the carousel with daddy. It was so fun. The carousel had many pretty animals that you could ride. I chose the bunny. Daddy had to hang on to me tight until I got the hang of it. Mommy was on the sidelines taking pictures... her motion sickness, so she said.

We played in the fountain with the other children. Although I still don't like getting my hair or my face washed, I enjoyed splashing in the fountain... so much so that we went back the next day to splash again.

It was a lovely weekend. Here are the pictures of me having a great time. Talk to you later.

The Easter Bunny Came

... and went. Mommy has been too busy to get me close to the computer so I'm just getting to post my Easter musings. Sorry.

It was lovely day, bright and sunny; just the kind of day you'd want for such a celebration. The singing at church was wonderful. The choir was great and allowed me to join in when they sang the Hallelujah chorus. Mommy and I sang it together.

After church I took a nap, then put on my cute outfit from my great-aunt Quinn and went outside to play. We blew bubbles in the front yard and planted the flower boxes, then we went to wash daddy's car. After that, we enjoyed a tasty dinner of ham, macaroni & cheese, and all the trimmings.

We had a great day. Hope you did too. Talk to you later.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we went to the Easter egg hunt in downtown Decatur. I'd never been to an egg hunt before but from what I could tell the concept was very simple: nice people throw eggs all over the grass, a bunny arrives for you have your picture taken with them, a horn sounds, and working with other people your size, you try to gather as many eggs as you can fit into your basket.
Oh, yes, all the while posing for pictures. Sounds simple doesn't it?

The eggs weren't really eggs! They were candy... very tasty. Daddy let me eat a red one after the hunt was over. Funny, for all the build up, the whole hunt only took about 3 minutes, maybe less. Regardless, it was a wonderful outing for a baby and her parents. Here are the pictures of us having a wonderful time. Enjoy. Talk to you later.

(I practiced sharing with other people my size who had forgotten their basket at home)

(me, waiting for the horn to sound)

(I'm ready to go... can we go now mommy?)

Luck of the Irish

Okay, I'm not Irish but I am pretty lucky. At least I think so. I'm lucky because mommy finally decided to post my pictures from St. Patrick's Day. Yes it was last week, yes, I should have gotten them up sooner but it's hard for a baby to reach the keyboard without any help from mommy or daddy. And they have been very busy. So at last, here are my pictures.

You'll see in some that I've learned to read. There I am reading Put Me in the Zoo, my favorite story from the blue book our friend Jerry Burns gave me. Hope all is well for you. Talk to you later.

It's Snowing.

This is one of those times when a picture truly is worth a thousand words. Hope you're staying warm and dry. Talk to you later.

It's Girl Scout Cookie Time

As some of you may know, I'm a Girl Scout. Well, an honorary one; I'll be a real one when I get older. For now though, I go to meetings with my cousin, Keara. And, now we are selling Girl Scout cookies. Would you like to buy any?

I'd give you a taste of mine if you like. I really like the lemon ones; I had two last night with daddy. Today we went out to deliver cookies to all the nice people that placed orders with us earlier. Don't worry if you didn't, we've got plenty to go around. By selling cookies Keara gets to go to camp. Me, I don't want to go to camp yet. At least not until I can take mommy with me.

In other non-Girl Scout related news, I have given up my ba-ba. It was stealth on mommy and daddy's part. One night they didn't give me one as part of my night-night routine. I was so tired I didn't notice. So the next night they didn't give me one again. This went on for several nights... I don't think they're going to bring the ba-ba back. Strangely enough I don't miss it. Yes, I do still have my binkie. It's only for night-night but I think they know better than to try to take that from me right now. Leave the binkie alone and no one gets hurt. Trust me.

Anyway, I'm off to the grocery store with daddy-- we have to use our coupons before they expire! Talk to you later.

I've been very busy

I know, I know, it's mid-February and not a word from me this month... sorry. I've just been so busy being a baby. With all the wonderful things to explore, writing has taken a hit. Mommy and daddy put the batteries back in some of my toys so I've had to rediscover these oldies but goodies. And, did you know that mommy's bathroom drawer has all kinds of neat stuff in it like deodorant and combs. Stuff she really doesn't need but are great to play with.

At Miss Megan's house the other day I wore myself out playing so hard that I fell asleep at snack time. Here's a video of it. Mommy and daddy laughed and laughed. I personally didn't find it so funny. Let me know what you think. Talk to you later.
