Visiting with Papa

My Papa is down in Southern California helping his Aunt and Uncle with some home repairs. Since he is only about 45 mins away from our house, I've been able to see him a lot recently.

We were playing with my sippy cup lid.

We passed it back and forth to each other so we could chew on it. It was so much fun!

Playing with my cousins

A few days ago Mommy and I went to go see my cousins Connor and Claire. I had so much fun playing with them.

By the end of the day, Claire and I both needed a bath. Claire's Mommy, Keri was nice enough to let me jump in the bath with Claire. She even washed my hair for me! Thanks Keri!

I was trying to help rub in the soap.

I know the bath water looks kinda dirty... but really we didn't need a bath THAT bad. We took an oatmeal bath. Does wonders on the skin!

A day at the Horse Races

Yesterday Mommy and Daddy took me to the Horse Races. We were there to celebrate a friends birthday... she just LOVES horses. I had so much fun! The horses were really big, and one of the Jockeys waved to me.

Early Birthday Presents

My Grandma let me open some of my presents early!! Whoo Hoo!!!!

This is a really cool bike. My legs are not long enough to reach the ground, so someone has to push me!

Since my Daddy likes sports so much, Grandma thought that this would be a good toy for me to have. It has basketball, football and baseball... all in one.

It plays really fun music every time you make a basket....

YEAH! I just made a basket!

My victory dance!

Umm... this game isn't so fun... Why do they make it so hard to get the ball back???

Dancing Machine

This is how I dance every time I make a basket!

TEETH!!!!!!!!!

I'm finally letting the world know that I have teeth. Although Mommy has to wrestle me just to get a picture..... but here they are.

I have 2!!!!!!!

Today

Here are some pictures that Mommy took today. We just stayed home and played.

Love my Puffs!

Yummy.... these things are delicious. Mommy is known to sit down and enjoy this snack with me. Our favorite kind is Sweet Potato. Um Um Good!

Open the container:

Stick arm in and grab puffs....
Then enjoy!

Vote for Mommy and Daddy

Mommy entered into some silly contest. It is all about Mommy and Daddy's first kiss (eww... gross!!!!!!) If she wins (which is highly unlikely) the prize is $2500 bedroom makeover.

Go to this site and vote!!!! (several times if you can)

Standing and ALMOST walking

Here is a video of me. I can stand up for almost a minute by myself... and I can walk across the room as long as I'm holding onto someone!

No fun being sick!

This has been a rough week. It all started with me getting the stomach flu, and now Mommy, Daddy and Grandma all have it too.

Once we are all better Mommy will post more pictures. She got a video of me standing up all by myself... so stayed tuned!

My trip to Northern California

Sorry that it has been so long since Mommy has posted anything.

Last week we went to go see our family up in Northern California. It was an eventful trip to say the least. It all started with me getting a cold the week before the trip. The flight up to NorCal was great, and I was a perfect angel.

BUT

Mommy is convinced that I was switched with another baby some time between the airport and Grammy & Papa's house.

When we got there, I ended up getting really sick. My temperature was up to 102.3 when Mommy put me to bed. She was really worried about me. The next day, Thursday, it was down to 99.7 and she was happy about that. However Thursday night it peaked to 103 and Mommy freaked out. I've never had a fever before so she was really concerned.

The next day my Pediatrician told Mommy to take me to Urgent Care to see what was going on. After waiting for 2 hours the Dr came in. To put it nicely, Mommy was less than pleased with his demeanor and professionalism. He never came to the conclusion of why I was so sick and sent us home without any medicine.

My fever continued for the next few days and I just wanted my Mommy (Which is not like me at all). Even though I LOVED being able to see everyone, I just wanted to snuggle with Mommy. I admit that I was a little fussy.... okay, REALLY fussy, but I just didn't feel well.

We came home last night, and I'm feeling a bit better. Its always nice to go on a trip, but there is nothing like being at home when you dont feel well.

Enjoy the pictures from our trip.

Playing

Yes, that is a bathing suit over my clothes. My cousin Caroline gave me a new swim suit and since it was cold, Mommy put it on over my clothes. It was really silly.

Playing with blocks on the floor with Papa and Jack.

Papa with all of his grandkids.

One of Papa's favorite things to do is ride his motorcycle. After one of his rides he came home and let us play on it. It was SO cool!

A Turkey Bone

One of Papa's signature moves is to give his grandkids a bone to chew on. I was finally lucky enough to try one out. It was GREAT! I loved that thing. I kept offering for Mommy to try it out, but she wasn't brave enough, so I just enjoyed it myself. Caroline and Jack enjoyed one too!

Northern California Pictures

Here are more:

This is how Mommy and I get around. Most of the time she puts me in the stroller, but sometimes I get lucky and she'll put me in the carrier. I LOVE this thing!

Me and Papa looking at pictures together.

Auntie Heather always wears the prettiest jewelry.

My Great Grandma "GG" with her 3 great grandkids, and 1 of her grandkids

Mommy didn't take too many pictures this trip because I was pretty cranky and unfortunately she forgot to get one of me and Grammy. (Sorry Grammy!!!!)

A visit from Auntie Lauren

Before we went to visit Grammy and Papa, my Auntie Lauren came to visit me. She is so much fun. I was busy showing her all my moves, like walking around the furniture, and she even took me to the park!

I love my Auntie Lauren, and I'm VERY proud of her. She worked really hard to become a nurse, and now she is working in the Burn Unit at UC Davis, in Sacramento. She is the best!

My mommy and I went down the slide together... I think she had more fun than I did!
Mommy kept trying to take my picture but I was bored. I was trying to get down because I wanted to play and walk around. Yes, I have 3 Pacifiers. Life just isn't the same without 3.

Playing with Mommy and Daddy

A few weeks ago I went to a birthday party for a little boy I know who turned 2. He had his party at a really fun children's museum. There were all sorts of things to do. Unfortunately Mommy forgot the camera, but our friend Misti saved the day. (Just like she did on my first camping trip.) She always has her camera ready, and here are some pictures she took of us.

Our Family

I found a shopping cart that I could push around. It was so much fun!
Papa would be so proud! Here is a Police Motorcycle that kids could play on! It was so much fun!

I'm always ready for the camera!
