My crawling days are over...

Okay not totally, but ever since I took like two steps on my own about a week ago..... everyday I just keep walking more and more.  I mean, why wouldn't I?  Everyone else I hang out with does!

I told mom and dad, good luck keepin up with me now!

Catch you on the flip side,

Summer Fun

The weather here has been so nice!  It makes it a lot more fun around here.  I mean, not that my house isn't fun and all, but when the sun is out I think momma likes to go more places.  Like the other day we had to take the truck to get the oil changed.  Momma says you have to do that every once in a while.  So we had a picnic while we waited.  It was fun!

I just pretty much wave at whomever is walking by these days.  I don't really care if they wave back or not.  It's kinda fun to see who does and who doesn't.  Some times if they don't see me, I will make a little squealing noise with my wave.  That usually does the trick!

Like for instance, I have no idea who this lady is.  I squealed and everything, but no wave back.  I think she was having a rough day.  Momma says everyone has rough days, we just have to be understanding.

With the nice weather and all it seems like every town around here has a fair of some sort.  We have gone to a couple, but my favorite one was the one in Edwards cause I knew a lot of kids there.  They all just hung around me in my stroller while I chilled.  It is fun being the center of attention.

I couldn't go on all the blow up jumpy things with my friends, but momma said maybe next year.  When we aren't at fairs, or out walking Emma, I like to help mom and dad around the house.  I am probably the best at unloading the dishwasher.  I am working on my laundry skills, but the clothes are SOOOO heavy when I try to move them from the washer to the dryer!  I am getting stronger everyday though, so watch out!

When we get all the laundry done, we get to go to the pool.  There are TONS of kids there.  I can't quite keep up yet, but I talk to them as momma and I swim by.  I am so excited to go swimming with my cousins next month...... fun!  Maybe they will talk back to me!  

We usually go to the pool when I am done napping for the day, so we hang out and have snack time there too.  I have been trying to learn how to use a spoon.  It is pretty messy, but super fun.  I like to try to touch mommy and daddy with my sticky hands when I am done...... they try to run away and I just laugh, cause I know I'll get 'em!

nothing like a little yogurt after a long, hard swim.  Momma was adventurous that day...... I think we were out of our other snacks, cause now we have snacks that are much easier to eat picnic style!

I love and miss you all!  Hope you have an awesome 4th of July!  Momma says it is a day to celebrate and be thankful that we live in such a country of opportunity...... hey and if momma says, then I'm right there with her!

Love you,
