Helper

I've been Mama's helper the last week. She's been making baby food for Charlotte and I help by cleaning the bowl out. Avocado, yum!Charlotte's high chair arrived and we spent a morning putting it together. My help resulted in some yelling. Mama had to apologize to me for being a mean mommy. Maybe I was asking for it when I ran around with a screwdriver while she was nursing my sister?Charlotte kept busy during all the commotion.I put on some pajamas the other night. Comfy, huh?I accessorized myself. I'm too cool.I let Mama put in a ponytail. Sidenote: Notice that I'm calling her Mama. I've always called her Mama, but lately started calling her Mommy (because that's what they say in Pinkalicious, my favorite book) so she's trying to get me start calling her Mama again. I called her Mama and snuggled her like a little baby this morning. She said I was really cute and kissed me on my nose.Daddy took the family for a tour of his office. We tried out the gorgeous chairs.I tried out Daddy's chair with him.Daddy listened to my tummy because I needed a doctor. I need a doctor about 10 times a day.We've been enjoying the frog "pond" in our backyard. Every day there are more and more frogs. There are a bunch of tadpoles growing in there.Bubba is like a puppy again. He's so happy living at the new house.I tried corn on the cob for the first time last night. It was delicious and really fun to eat.I help keep Charlotte entertained. She loves it when I get really loud and in her face. That's a good thing because that's what I like to do.Daddy installed my new swing this weekend so we gave it a try.I also did some belly swinging like Matthew taught me.Peek-a-boo!I like my new slide too.Daddy went on the smaller slide. He must not be as brave as me.The frogs did a piggy back ride all day yesterday. Cool, huh?
Have a great week! I know I will. I went to McDonald's and played all morning. Ronald McDonald is awesome.

Rainbow Kisses

We're such happy girls. Aren't our parents so lucky?I love to eat at the breakfast bar.Surprise!I love kisses and all, but they can't compare to pudding.I'll take some of that, Macy.Determined ballerina.Hailey is very fashionable.Intense fruit cutting.Grandma Rullestad came to visit so we had to take a picture.We went to Kennedy Park the other day and Mommy took a bunch of blurry pictures. This was the best of them. At least Mommy got me out of my purple shirt for a day.I loved the fireworks on Friday night. I sat on Mommy for a while and then Grandma. I yelled out "Pretty!" and "Awesome!" There's nothing more fun than being with my family. My cousins really wear me out so I sleep in and take long naps after I've played with them.
Charlotte's blog will be updated later today. Stay tuned.

Out and About

Unpacking was/is getting old so my parents have been doing more fun things with me or shipping me out to family. The other day I played with a Sharpie while Daddy unpacked some boxes in the garage. I can always find something fun to do.See?!We went to get smoothies the other night and they were tasty.We went to the Blanden Art Museum on Saturday morning for the kids' art day. There were a lot of people there and lots of fun things to do and see. The balloon artist had quite the line of people.A few of my cousins showed up and I gave Anya a big hug.Leif and I really liked the statue with the baby butt. I had to point it out to him.I did some painting. I didn't like it when my hand got messy so the painting didn't last that long.I decorated a hat too.Leif's painting was a little more colorful.He even stopped to look at the camera for a second. Strong work.Anya got more than she bargained for from the balloon artist.Awesome!Milo had Sonic the Hedgehog for his balloon masterpiece.After the museum (and a nap), we did bubbles at Grandpa and Grandma's house. First, you dip the big wand in the bucket.Then you very nicely ask Grandpa to make some bubbles.Yay! Those are some huge bubbles.I also tried out the new trike at G & G's house. I'm tough.Grandma had me over on Monday and then some of my cousins came over for a bit. I'm at Nana and Papa's today. Mommy gets us to herself for a couple of days and then more cousins are coming to play. We're loving all the helpers and I'm loving all the fun people. Life is good.
