Ice Cream Social

Tonight we went to an ice cream social at Goddard.  There was ice cream and music for dancing.  The sad part is that I cannot eat ice creat and I also can't dance.  I guess it is a good thing that I like to watch!  Too bad they didn't have popsicales at the party.

Oh Sophie

I have a new friend.  Her name is Sophie, and she is French.  I love to chew on her ears, and somtimes I just hug her and we cuddle with my blanket.  I am so lucky to have such good friends.

Heat Wave

Today it was way too hot to do anything outside, so I hung out with Angela, Aunt Emily, Oma and Mommy.  I showed everyone how I can roll over all by myself, and we watched the US vs. Japan women's soccer - too bad the US lost.  Angela took a bunch of really good pictures.  Daddy golfed (and shot a 78) - he is crazy to be out when there is 100 degree heat index!

BBQ Blues

Today we went to my friend Emily's house for a barbeque; she and I go to school together.  I wore a blue and white dress, and daddy wore a blue shirt.  Mommy was going to wear blue too, but she thought it might be a little weird, so she changed.  It was really hot outside, but we had a lot of fun and ate some yummy food - or so I heard. 

Footsies

Wait, so these are my feet?  And they are always there for me to play with?  Cool!

No Power

This week I have been spending a lot of time at home.  After the big storms on Monday, my school did not have power.  So, Mommy and Daddy have been taking turns staying home.  Today I spent the whole day with Daddy; we went out for breakfast, went to the store, and spent a lot of time outside.  I love hanging out with him all day.  I even tried out my new seat - it makes it a lot easier to "pet" Porter... watch out, doggie!

Yum, Yum, Yum!

I love eating food from a spoon!  Mommy made me avocado puree, and I really like it.  It is such a pretty color, and it feels funny on my tongue.  It is really messy and it ended up all over my face and my bib, but that's okay.  I have been watching Daddy and Mommy very closely while they eat for the past few weeks.  Now I can't wait to try more foods!

Go, Horses, Go!

Gramma and Grampa were here this weekend to visit.  We went to Arlington Racetrack to see the horses run.  It was a beautiful sunny day, but we found a nice place to "camp out" inside near the door.  I took a little snooze while we were there, and mommy took my picture right before I fell asleep.

Feed Me!

This has been a really big week for me... I have started eating food!  I really like rice cereal, and I even like eating it from a spoon.  Mommy said she could tell that I was ready to start eating foods, because I have started to really like to watch her and daddy when they eat.  I am so happy to have my own food, and I feel like such a big girl!  Soon we'll try eating other kinds of food besides just rice - I can't wait!

The Reverse Roll

Today I rolled over from my back to my tummy for the first time.  I was just trying to reach my new colorful toy, and all of a sudden I was on my tummy!

Happy Birthday, America!

For the Fourth of July we went to the Wahlers' pool to go swimming.  I was finally able to wear my new swimsuit, and I even took a dip in the pool.  I sure love to swim!

Holiday Weekend

We went to Mommy's boss's house for a cookout today.  There were three other kids there, but I was the youngest.  There was a lot for me to look at and even some fun toys for me to play with.  Liz took a few pictures with her fancy camera.  By the end of the night, I was so tired!

4 Month Doctor Visit

I went to the doctor for my 4 month check-up.  I now weigh 13.7 pounds and I am 24 inches long, which puts me in the 50-75% percentile.  I had two more shots today, but I hardly cried at all.  I think I'm getting tougher.
