A Whole New World

It was so gorgeous today and I had so much fun! Matthew came over this morning and we played outside for about an hour. I stuck to the sidewalk mainly.I explored the grass some. Mommy is okay with me avoiding grass because that's where Euclid leaves messes (even though she has spent two hours depooping the yard in the last couple of weeks).Matthew tried to become a statistic. Okay, so that car was parked and he mainly stayed out of the street. It's a funny picture though.Matthew loved the grass. He's a brave boy!We gave each other a ton of attention.I stole his toy when we crossed paths.He told on me!He was happy again when he got his toy back. Obviously he forgave me because we played in the neighbors' dirt pots together. Sweet!

We walked over to the mall this afternoon and Mommy ran up the hill by our house. I loved going fast, fast, fast. We also used my swing this afternoon and I walked around on the brick patio in the backyard. I was so happy that I refused to take my afternoon nap.

I hope that you get feeling better, Nana. Daddy told me about your hives and I want to send you kisses to make you feel good.

Where's Mina?

Can you see me?Here I am! I just needed to look at my shoes a little more closely. What's the deal with my parents and cows? Just because I moo...

We're so excited because the forecast for Thursday is a high of 60 degrees. I'd love to go to the park! I need something to do because I'm getting bored with throwing my diapers all over the floor and emptying out my dresser drawers.

Fleet Foxes

Mommy finally did a video of me dancing to my favorite song. I stop whatever I'm doing to do this dance. If you haven't heard Fleet Foxes before, then you've been missing out! Grandpa, let us know if you want a copy of the CD. We think this would be right up your alley. Make sure your sound is on.

Free Family Friday

I went to visit Daddy at work this afternoon and he let me chew on a cowhorn tool since I was wearing my cow suit. I'm really getting the hang of oral surgery. It helps that I have enough teeth to practice on myself.This is one of the rooms that Daddy works in.I was kind of scared of all of the nice people I met at the college of dentistry. I held onto my daddy most of the time we were there. He didn't mind one bit since he knew he wouldn't get to see me until Sunday morning.

Mommy took me to the mall tonight for Free Family Friday. I got a free supper with a book and Mommy took me on a free carousel ride. There were kids all over the place. I ended up going to bed an hour late because we had so much fun.

Oh, and it's my cousin Anya's birthday today. HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!

Tuesday Date

I went over to Matthew's house yesterday morning for a date. We played with tons of toys and tired each other out. I slept for almost three hours once we got home and only needed one nap. It was a great day! Jamie caught a cute picture of me smiling up at my mommy.Matthew was full of smiles too. He loves it when people make sneezing noises.We hung out in Matthew's room for a while. Mommy needed some snuggles.Matthew finds Mommy's lap cozy too. She read him some books. Mommy is so proud of this picture because Matthew doesn't go to very many people.

The only bad part of the date was when Jamie scared me. She threw a toy for the dog and it was terrifying. I screamed and had to have Mommy hold me until Jamie hid the toy away. I don't have the words to tell them why I was scared so they were both confused and surprised by my reaction. I'm generally not scared of anything.

Mommy picked up my Valentine's pictures from the store on Monday and saw that my head was chopped off. She's going to go in and talk with them when she gets a chance. At least the rest of the pictures turned out well. However, Mommy doesn't recommend WalMart Picture Me studios. They don't have very small picture packages so you get too many pictures, they pressure sell, and they chop off heads. We have tons of photos that we're going to give away because my parents only wanted a few pictures. Here's the picture of the head chop. Hehehe

Yesterday was Pancake Day so my parents were going to take me to IHOP, but the line was too long. You know how Daddy is about waiting. We decided to go to Boston's instead and that was fun. I threw food on the floor and made a racket. At least I didn't eat any of my spaghetti with meatballs pizza so Mommy has my leftovers to eat today.

.

My daddy has a very busy week. I didn't see him on Monday because he was stuck at the hospital. I won't see him today because he has a meeting in the evening. I won't see him Friday or Saturday because he's going to a conference in Chicago. It's a good thing I'm easy because otherwise Mommy would be going nuts!

Practice Makes Perfect?

Mommy was gifted a prefold diaper and cover and she practiced putting it on a teddy bear before she put it on me. I did some practicing of my own. As you can see, Mommy successfully put the diaper on me. Don't mind my face here, I was about to sneeze.This is what the back looks like.My plan went into action once Mommy couldn't see my hands anymore.The left side came off with no problem.And now I've got it. Oops, I'd better protect my modesty.Who am I kidding? I'm such a proper young lady.

Mommy is pleased to have some nice pictures to show my future boyfriends.

Mommy should have known I would take the cover off right away because I took it off the teddy bear over and over. She was able to keep it on me for a few hours when she put other clothes on top. In other news, I have a runny nose and I puked all over the car last night after having a dinner that included black beans and strawberry yogurt. Nice.
