Busy, busy!!!  We have hardly had time to relax.  I've been playing hard core with Grammie.  We've been to the park, shopping, Humdinger, pet stores...  I've been having so much fun!   We'll be sad when she leaves tomorrow, but we know we'll see her in Buffalo next weekend.  It's been a great few days full of fun and games. 

We have been so busy, but we are having a great time with Grammie.  Mommy said she's been putting up my pictures and documenting things nicely.  We hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy the wonderful weather, at least it's been wonderful around here.  I got a sunburn on my arms today, mommy bought me a new hat and some new sunscreen so it won't happen again.  I also got my first sliver in my hand yesterday.  Mommy found it this morning and with the help of daddy, Grammie got it out for me.  I sat still and let them do what they had to do.  I didn't flinch at all and afterwards, Mommy gave me two large pieces of chocolate!  Boy, I think I'll get hurt more often so that I can have candy like that all the time!  You should have seen how crazy I got after the candy too.  Mommy will get the video uploaded as soon as she can.  It's very funny!!

I see the camera, and I automatically say "cheese!"

My new favorite toys are my baby dolls.  They are never far away and they do everything I do (mommy said she draws the line at taking a bath with me though). 

We are preparing for Grammie's visit.  I was practicing saying "grammie" this morning but couldn't stop saying nana.  Grammie said she doesn't want to be called nana so I have more practicing to do. 

We just got back from the Discovery Center.  We helped Nathan celebrate his 5th birthday!!  We got to play and walk around and check everything out.  We had a nice surprise and ran into Miss Cara and Moriba.  Sam was at home with his daddy though.  I played in the kiddie room with the twins Hannah and Brody.  We played ball and shared the leggos.  We also climbed up and down the stairs.  It was fun.  Mommy said I'm still too little to do most of the stuff there though.  Daddy showed me the pretend dentist office and showed me what it was like to lay in the chair and check on my teeth.  I wasn't too sure of what he was doing, Daddy can be strange sometimes.    I really had a good time today. 

Mommy also wanted to share that today is the anniversary of the day that she got Vicky from the Humane Society in Sioux Falls.  It's been 6 years that they've been together!!  Mommy said it seems like just yesterday that she had to pick Vicky up to put her in the car.  She was so shaky and scared. 

Mommy decided today that I'm old enough to play with the Cabbage Patch Doll that I got for a baby shower present from Great Grandma Elaine.  Her name is Reyna Bianca and Mommy said she likes that name for her so we'll keep it, unless I decide to change it when I get older.  I haven't let her go at all.  I pitched a fit when we were leaving for the Discovery Center so Daddy and I put her down for a nap in the crib.  We woke up together after late nap.  Check out the video of me walking with her and all the pics of me playing with her.  I'm going to be a great mommy some day!  Currently, we are in bed together and I'm telling her a bedtime story.  It's way past our bedtime though and I really don't want to go to sleep.

We got up this morning and met up with our friends to see Johnny Only.  He sang some kiddy songs and had us dancing and clapping.  I recognized a bunch of songs too.  After he was done singing he did some juggling.  He did some really cool tricks that mommy can't do, but I know my mom's the best at juggling!

When we left there, we headed back to the Rail Trail.  We met up with Miss Amy and Patrick, Michelina and Andrew were there too.  I had a good time climbing everything I could get my hands on.  I even went down the slide all by myself.  I crawled up the stairs and then crawled over to the slide and then I turned around and went down feet first.  Mommy said she was proud of me for doing it alone.  She wouldn't let me climb alone though.  Kept saying I'm going to fall and knock out a tooth or two.  She's so silly, I won't fall! 

Mommy taught me a lesson today.  We went to CVS and the Giant and as we were pulling into the parking a lot an old lady cut across the aisles and pulled out right in front of us.  Mommy almost hit her car but she was watching her.  Mommy told me that you have to look out and watch everyone else because they won't always be watching out for you.  Mommy said she smelled really bad too.  She said most of the time, too much perfume is gross!!!! 

Boy, another busy day.  We are having so much fun!  After nap this morning, we met up with Elisa and Hunter for lunch.  We hung out and talked for a long time.  I was such a ham.  I talked to everyone that walked by. We even got to see Aunt Kelly.  Hunter is smiling nicely now!! He's so cute.  After a late afternoon nap, we met up with Aunt Leslie for Lizzie's lacross game.  The score doesn't matter though.  It was fun!  I talked to a few people, played in the grass, picked up twigs and leaves and then I learned how to climb into the stroller.  Mommy said I make her nervous.  I don't know what that means though.  AFTER that, we got some dinner and coffee for Daddy and headed up to the zoo so we could hang out with him for a little bit.  He took me up to the playground and I had it alllllllllll to myself!  I climbed up and down the stairs, slid down the slides and had a great time.  We did a round with Daddy and I got to see the reindeer.  The one came out and kind of stood up on the fence and I waved and barked at him.  Daddy said they don't bark,   but I don't believe him!  What does he know?    Then I came home and had a bath, brushed my teeth  a bottle  and right off to bed I went.  Mommy said tomorrow we are going out AGAIN!  I can't believe how busy we are but it's so much fun!

ANOTHER DAY AT THE PARK!!!  We are so busy lately.  Yesterday we met up with Elisa and the boys and played hard!  We had the whole playground to ourselves most of the time.  Today, we met up with a bunch of our friends.  I got to play with Nicholas and Patrick.  We hung out with Morgan and Matthieu too.  Sarah and Joshua were there, Evelyn was there...  Oh my goodness, so many kids to hang out with today.  I was pretty cranky for part of the day though.  Last night I woke up crying because my teeth hurt.  Mommy and I played (well, Mommy sat on the couch trying not to fall back asleep) until 3:30am and then I got to sleep in.  I took a bit of a power nap while Mommy got in a good walk and then we came home for a diaper change and a restock of the diaper bag.  I then hung out with Aunt Leslie, Uncle Gary, Lizzie, Malory and even Gina was there.  I did much better tonight than I did last week.  We played outside for a short bit then we were inside.  I got a little bit of a sun burn on my nose and cheeks today it was so nice out.  Mommy said tomorrow during the day we chill out!  We've been so busy but we'll be back out late afternoon.  We are going to Cousin Liz's lacross game.  Should be a lot of fun!  Mommy wants to get pics of everyone for the site since we don't have any recent ones.
