Good morning!
Ah, a fresh diaper and a good book.
Do you think I'm getting chubby?
I helped Mommy do some laundry.
Baby doll was hungry.
I was hungry too, so I had breakfast. All done!
Pure silliness.
I love to look at pictures of my grandparents. Mommy took a picture of me kissing Papa, but the picture came out really blurry.
I spend a lot of the morning snuggling Mommy and Bubba.
Kisses!
We read lots of books. This is my favorite page because Mommy howls and I howl with her.
I like to listen to heartbeats.
Maybe I'll become a vet.
Our morning went really fast. Mommy put me in my sleep sack for my nap. The reason they still put me in sacks is because it keeps me from climbing. They make them toddler sized so don't worry about me being cramped.
One last smooch?!
After my nap, it was time to go to the hospital for my check-up. I helped by putting on my shoes (sort of).
There were lots of fun toys in the waiting room and fish to look at too.
I screamed and cried during much of my appointment so we'll spare you the few pictures from that. I'm growing nicely and there were no health concerns. I got to visit Daddy after my appointment. We ate at the cafeteria and then explored the hospital for a bit.
Mommy wanted a decent picture of us together for the day and this is what she got. Hahaha!
Bath time!
I love to tickle myself while I read my tickling book.
I took a ride on Norman.
I brushed my teeth and said bye-bye to my toothbrush.
Night, night!
I hope you enjoyed my day.
I had a really fun week this past week. I saw Matt a couple of times. Look for an "Ode to Matt" post in the near future that will include some pictures. We bummed around at home a lot and also went to parks. I love slides right now. Grandma is coming over this afternoon and staying for a couple of days. Yay!
I played some beautiful music on the piano too.
On Tuesday, we went swimming with friends Jessica and Ellie at Expo. I loved splashing around in the toddler pool. There was this really buff, tan guy that I kept calling Daddy. I also called the little boys in the pool Matt, but they weren't as cute as the real deal. Mommy didn't take any pictures on Tuesday. Shame on her!
Here's Great Grandma! I gave her a kiss before we left, but pulled away when Mommy pulled out the camera so Mommy isn't sharing the picture of us together.
Leif came over after lunch that day and he brought my other cousins. I screamed in happiness while we played. They chased me and I chased them back. I pretty much had this face going during their whole visit.
Milo caught me!
Sometimes the paparazzi gets to be a little much.
Wednesday night, I got to see my other cousins at a softball game. I sat still for about 2 minutes, and then led them on a merry chase the rest of the night. Macy and Hailey were in charge so Mommy got to relax. 
We had a huge dance party on Thursday morning before we left for home. I learned some awesome new moves. Grandpa is a little concerned that I might become an exotic dancer.
What a face, huh?
Matt came over on Friday morning so we could renew our friendship. I had a lot to tell him and he's a very good listener.
It started to pour down rain after my nap and Mommy had left the windows open. I attempted to lick the screen door dry. Yum!
Mommy also read that I'm old enough to try shell fish so she gave me a couple of popcorn shrimp to try. I loved them! She was surprised. I like all things breaded so it makes sense. My parents are really glad I don't seem to have any food allergies so far. I've had peanut butter, berries, dairy, eggs, and now shellfish with no issues.
We went to Old MacDonald's Farm at 
Old MacDonald had a chicken. E-I-E-I-O
He had all sorts of interesting animals!
I saw a donkey, goats, roosters, cows, pigs, and bunnies to name a few animals.
There were also tons of ducks. I heard a quack quack here!
After we were done visiting all of the animals, we went to the park and played on the jungle gym. I wish I would have had my swim suit so I could have splashed in the water!
Cheese!
Since I was so well-rested and happy, they decided to take me to the fireworks celebration. I had my bath at my normal time, but then they brought me down to the basement and we watched Horton Hears a Who until it was time to go. We're lucky enough to live within walking distance of great viewing areas so they bundled me up and away we went.
I was completely fascinated by the fireworks and didn't mind the noise at all. It was awesome! It was done at about 10:30 and I started to fall asleep during the finale because I was so tired, but it was well worth it. I woke up at my normal time today in fine spirits. The 4th of July only comes once a year!
There was also a party on Friday with all the people Daddy works with. Mommy looks like she's getting a little chubby, don't you think?
I got in on some games.
There was a really cute dog there too!
As you may have noticed, Mommy announced that I'm going to be a big sister. I don't really understand what's going on, but I'll give you a bit of the story. You'll have to check out the other blog for updates.
She kept making pretty sticks until she got one that was beautiful! After that, she stopped peeing on things in the potty so much. I was starting to think that was normal.
On the morning of June 5th, Mommy started spending lots of time in the bathroom for a different reason. She was SICK!! The first time she got sick was after she drank a red pop and ate some Cheerios. After a few days, she called the doctor because I was up to shenanigans while she was in the bathroom and she was scared about what might happen to me if she couldn't supervise me. Plus, she was sick of me slamming her head with the toilet lid and trying to tug the bucket out of her hands. She tried a couple of different medicines before she found something that made her act pretty normal. Thank goodness! I missed her.
Here's how she looked yesterday! I love kissing her belly.
