Yesterday my God-sister Annalise came over to play. Mommy was making us giggle and milk was spilling everywhere 
This morning my mommy was snuggling with me and she said “I love you” like she usually does, and so I said “I bub ooo” back to my mommy. She looked so happy after that!
Happy Mother’s Day to my mommy, my grandma Connie, my birthmommy Jenelle, and my nana Patrice. I love you all very, very much!
My granny takes the absolute cutest photos of me. Here I am at granny’s house. I often have this wicked and cute smile on
Look at what a BIG GIRL I am! I am just walking *everywhere* now. I am very gregarious (no more shyness) and I love doing active things and meeting people. I do not like to stay indoors and at home, even though I have tons of toys, because I am a girl who likes to be on the GO. Today we have a playgroup at the park and tonight Family Place at the library. But still, mommy will have to do “things” with me this afternoon… I just crave novelty
I might be a bit of a daredevil – I love the fast life! Slides, swings, merry-go-rounds, etc. are my favorite – if it MOVES, it is for me.
My first word may very well be “kitty” – I don’t quite say it yet, but my grandma worked on this with me and when I see a kitty I say “i-ee”. I *love* kitties! I always squeal when I see them. I also copy my mommy when she calls for puppy “Jessie”, I will copy her and then smile at her sweetly
I can do “clapping” and wave hello and bye-bye now, it makes everyone me smile when I do these tricks. I am using walking as my primary means of locomotion now, but only indoors – outside I still ask for someone to hold my left hand lightly (mostly for moral support, I don’t hold on very tightly).
My mommy and I are outside for a few hours every day – I just adore the outdoors. Often I will make my way to the front door and pound on it and yell, and then mommy often takes me outside. Of course that positive reinforcement just lets me know that my mommy manipulations *totally WORK*, ha ha.
I am CRAZY for swimming! I went into Pinchot lake 10 days ago – it was still freezing and no mommy in her right mind would let their child swim in that cold water (it was just frozen over 2 months ago), but I insisted on going in and mommy let me. I yelled everytime she tried to take me out, so I got to swim for 20 minutes… the other mommies from the Mom’s group were amazed and laughing, I am so funny. Luckily mommy’s neighor and good friend has a swimming pool, so we can pop over whenever we like this summer!
My favorite video is Baby Signing Times – it has babies doing sign language with songs. Next, I like the Baby Einstein farm animals video. At grandma’s house I like teletubbies a lot. (Mommy limits my video time, do not worry!)
Well, I am off for a nap, then mommy and I are going shopping (have I mentioned that daddy is appalled at how much I enjoy shopping with mommmy, ha ha?!)
