Active Afternoon

Our house loves this warmer weather! Mommy and I spent this afternoon playing around in the yard and, as you can see, getting dirty! Here's hoping Spring isn't too far away!

Heading down the slide---literally!

(Sorry for Mommy's loud "weeee!". She was excited...and hoping I wouldn't cry after my faceplant!)

Good thing Mommy & Daddy haven't raked up all of the leaves in our pine island---I'm sure that was their plan, right? ;)

Quack Quack

The weather was beautiful this weekend and, thankfully, we were able to spend most of our time outside. On Saturday we walked to feed the ducks and run around--always a fun outing!

A few of the feathery friends we saw...

Mommy fed the ducks bread...

...and, as usual, I ate it! :)

So handsome.

Taking a ride with Daddy...

...trying to walk...

...obviously, still a bit too dizzy!!

So funny!

Wow, what a fun day!

Mr. Talkative

Here are a couple of videos that Mommy took of me tonight. She got a new video camera this weekend & was eager to capture me! Sorry for the shakiness/closeness/etc...we'll work on it! :)

Note from Mommy: The videos are very similar but equally as cute! I love how Walker says his newest word, "bear". And evidently "blowing kisses" meant "kissing the camera" tonight. So sweet. And, Happy 18 month Birthday, Precious Boy. Can you really already be a year and a half? You bring love & meaning to mine and your daddy's life--we love you more than words.

Cat in the Hat

Saturday we went to Pottery Barn Kids with Grace and Rayna and enjoyed several Dr. Seuss stories & a visit from the Cat in the Hat.

I gave myself a front row seat for part of the story.

Rayna & I shared a seat

Mommy thought we were snuggling but I managed to remove her earring! So sneaky!

When it was my turn, I wasn't too sure about Mr. Cat in the Hat...

He was very nice, but I wasn't interested...

Can we please go now?!?

No Tears

Daddy took me to get my hair cut on Saturday and, for the first time, I didn't cry! It was monumental because the three other times Mommy has taken me, I've had quite the meltdown. So, needless to say, Daddy is my new haircut buddy! :)

I started out at the train table...

Who needs a haircut??

Wasn't quite sure...




...but animal crackers make everything okay!




Precious



Hey Daddy, this isn't so bad!

Fun with the Fish

Today we headed down to the Aquarium and had a blast! There was so much to see...lots of "ish"! :)

Before we headed into the first exhibit...I was obviously ready to get on with the tour!

"Look at 'em all, Mommy!"

Checking out the gators

Whatever it was, it was really cool, I promise!

The otters were so funny!

This large crab, however, was a bit strange...

One of the beluga whales

Aunt Anne bought Mommy a scale commemorating she & Daddy's wedding date and we found it...along with several other people's we know! :)

Aunt Ashly and Jackson came with us, too...Jackson & I loved seeing all of the fish!

(Please look at Walker's reflection---priceless!)

"See Aunt Ashly, all they do is swim around all day..."

The jellyfish glowed & were really pretty...except for their stinging tenticles!

The Fam and the Fish

"CHEESE!"

Aunt Anne can make the same face as the fish--so funny!

What a fun day we've had!

See ya soon, fishies!!

New Year's Eve

I headed to Mimi & Poppy's for New Year's Eve while Mommy and Daddy drove to Charlotte to celebrate Aunt Christie's 30th Birthday and ring in 2009! It looks like a good time was had by all!

The Birthday Girl!

Mommy and Aunt Caroline

Aunt Anne was there, too! :)

Happy 2009 from our family to yours!
