Mommy won't let me float away. Our city is flooding, but we are doing just fine. I took Mommy and Euclid out exploring to see if the creek behind our house was in danger of flooding. We seem to be safe. It isn't even all that high.
Nothing to see here...
We can still use the
tunnel to go under the interstate.
Mommy had to take my picture when we got home. I was cozy in my big stroller. She used it because she was afraid Euclid would tug too hard and the lightweight stroller would go flying. He was a perfect angel.
This was my view of him. Cute, huh?
This is my view of the apple tree by our front door.
It's going to be a great year for apples. Last year we didn't get any because the blooms were frozen off. It's going to smell good by our porch!
I didn't blog about the second half of my visit with family. Apparently they take lots of pills at Friendship Haven. Great Grandma W let me use her empty containers to play. Mommy was relieved that I didn't open the lids...YET! I really showed off with my rolling and talking at that visit.
Grandpa H read me the morning newspaper. I helped by kicking and grabbing the paper. My hands and feet were all black by the time we were done. I enjoyed myself.
Once we got home I played with my
jumperoo for about 45 minutes straight. I missed it. Daddy got home after a while and I gave him lots of smiles and laughs.
Mommy went a little crazy at Babies R Us yesterday afternoon. She bought this really cool toy. It has water in it and different toys that move when I press down. She's trying to encourage me to sit more.
I love ducks! Look at how well my hair is growing in.
I was happy when she decided to not let me sleep in my swing this morning. My eyes were red because I had been complaining. She knows how to make me instantly happy. Recently I've started playing with the toys on the tray.
Have you ever seen such an intense look on a baby? This is the face I make when I'm playing and trying to figure something out.
Daddy is going to be completely in charge of me tomorrow night. I can't wait. Mommy won't be home to tuck me in for the first time in my life....or I'll wait up until she comes home. We'll see if the bottle and Daddy snuggles will satisfy me.
We went to a wedding yesterday. Mommy made me wear a fancy dress. I liked standing outside with Daddy before the service.
I found the service kind of boring so I chewed on my dress to entertain myself.
Afterwards I got to see my friends Lynelle and Gavin. She was Maid of Honor and he was Ring Bearer.
Mommy wore me at the reception for a while. She put the top layer of my dress out so I could chew on it. She knows what I like!
Here we are at our table. Mommy couldn't resist making us match.
I gave Daddy smooches. He was in charge of me most of the time yesterday so I had to sweeten him up sometimes. He had to leave with me during the service (I was talking up a storm) so I needed to make up for it.
I also enjoyed chewing on his fingers. One of these days, I'll have teeth to show for all my hard work.
Mommy and Daddy got sick of my dress since it was so poofy and they took me outside to change me. My face says it all (free at last).
I really started partying once I was in my comfy clothes. My friend Dawn shared her beer with me. Wasn't that nice of her?
I sniffed the roses and tried to eat them also.
I laid down wherever it was comfortable. Liesie has a surprisingly comfortable lap. She didn't mind sharing her toy either. We're pretty close in size these days.
Lynelle held me for a little while before we had to go. I was tired, but I'm always up for a snuggle from her.
They tried to get Gavin to give me a kiss, but he wasn't in the mood. He might want to kiss me when we're older. Gavin's mommy and daddy need to get used to having their arms full since they're going to have another baby in November.
My pictures are a little out of order here since this is from Friday. Grandma H and Mommy took me on a walk with my cute outfit. I slept horribly on Thursday night so Mommy had to dress me up all cute in order to recover from the ordeal.
On Thursday, I went shopping with Grandma and Mommy. I got a cool towel to play on and a ball to crawl after. They put on one of my movies too! I had such a fun time.
Grandma also let me play with her cool shoes. She gave me the adorable outfit I'm wearing too.
Today is Mommy's 29th birthday. I think she should hold me the whole day in order to truly celebrate. I've been crying all day except for during my nap. I'll be nicer after my nap or else Mommy might need to leave the house! Yikes. Daddy bought Mommy a massage so she's looking forward to that. I'll do my best to get her tired and sore so she can get her money's worth. Mommy tells me that she has other things to do so I have to end my entry now. She's going to "help" Daddy with the landscaping.
Sunday was Father's Day and Daddy and Mommy's sixth wedding anniversary. Mommy made us special shirts to show Daddy how much we love him. 186 has special meaning for our family. It means "the most" and originated with Mommy telling Grandpa that she loved him 186 when she was a little girl. She still does, but now she has me and Daddy to love too!
I also got Mommy to make Daddy a special box to put all of the things he will be getting from me through the years. You know how she likes to be organized. Daddy keeps everything from Mommy so I figure he'll want to keep everything from me too.
Even Daddy couldn't resist taking some pictures of me. I played with my aqua duck for a while until I fell over.
I was proud of myself. Euclid didn't seem to mind the death grip I had on his tail.
Euclid resents being called a hazard. He's such a sweetheart!
Daddy got called to the hospital so Mommy will put me to bed by herself tonight. She hopes I'm good like last night, but we'll see what I feel like in half an hour.
