Another fun weekend with my buddies!

Another chill weekend, just hanging with my buddies. We went to Logan and Abby's on Friday, then we went to visit Kristopher and Ella on their camping trip in Petaluma on Saturday.



Here I am with Loggie. We read a bunch of these little tiny books and played with all of their toys.

Logan and Abbie sure have some cool toys! This crazy stuffed animal sings along with the TV!


Here we are in Petaluma! They had a cool swing right next to the camp fire. My folks tell me that someday, when I can eat s'mores, I'll enjoy camping even more.


I can't remember: was Kris giving me a kiss or telling me a secret? You be the judge.
Sunday we took it easy, I took a nice nap with Daddy, then we went out and did some errands. It was nice to just hang out with Mommy and Daddy and play!
Did I tell you? I got another tooth, #3! It's on the top, it started coming in a couple weeks ago. Not too bad!

Happy Easter!





We are settled back in from our trip this weekend! We went to Mendocino with Marie & Olivier, and Beepers and Uncle Stephane. We went out Friday afternoon and had a nice drive. We went to the grocery store and found everyone there! We all went back to the cottage and moved in! We just hung out for the evening and went to bed. Saturday we had breakfast and went to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. It was gorgeous! We walked all the way in, to the ocean. Then we went back to the cottage for naps and then dinner.


During the night, someone came to the cottage to visit! It was the Easter bunny! He brought me an Easter basket! (I heard Grandma and Mommy told the Easter bunny my favorite things...)


See those ears on my ducky basket? Well everyone tried them on, but Olivier liked them the most!



Marie found all the eggs the Easter bunny hid around the cottage. She brought me a couple! After all that fun, I was ready for a nap. Then we went to Mendocino and found the only toy store open on Easter. (We found two more toy stores, both closed. No fun!) We went to lunch at a brewery, here's a picture of me and Bunny Olivier:


After lunch we walked and found some ice cream, then went back to the cottage to pack up. We headed back, I slept most of the drive. Now we're back home, and the week is under way!

Kiss the Blarney Stone (Or Me!)

Hope everyone had a great St Patty's day! Did you enjoy some corned beef and cabbage? Or maybe some green drinks? Mommy & Daddy thought about putting some green food coloring in my milk, so did my teachers! But they didn't...maybe next year I'll get to try green drinks!


Friday night Abby & Logan came over for dinner, another fun night as always! Then Saturday I stayed home with Mommy, Beepers, Marie, Kristopher, & Ella while Daddy went to a basketball game with Aunt Kathrin & Uncle Jim. We had a ton of fun! Beepers painted everyone's faces...



Then we just played a bunch, and ate dinner. It was so much fun!
After I went to bed, apparently everyone laid down to watch movies...
Sunday we had a family day, here are a couple great pictures!

A Day In My Shoes (Or Socks)

First of all, great news! Aunt Lori & Uncle Chris welcomed Baby Sarah Elizabeth into the world on Thursday! Can you believe it, her birthday is Uncle Chris's birthday! She was born at 10:47 am, weighed 7 lbs 10 oz, and measured 18 3/4 inches long. So exciting! I can't wait to meet her! Here are a few pictures:




































We had a good weekend! Friday night we went to Abby & Logan's house for dinner. After dinner, us kids hung out with our daddys at home while the mommys went out to see a movie. Then Saturday our friends all came over so we could go to the park and have a memorial picnic for Sophie. It was really nice, and it helped to have our friends there. Then everyone came back to the house and played for the evening. Sunday we ended up going to the doctor, I had a fever and wasn't feeling too hot. The doctor said I have an ear infection, and gave me some medicine. We just went back home and took it easy. Monday I still wasn't feeling too well, so I stayed home with Mommy in the morning, then Daddy came home and stayed with me in the afternoon. It was fun to play hookey for a day! Today I'm definitely feeling better, I went back to school and had a great day!


So I thought it would be fun to share some videos, so you can see what a day in my life is like! The first video is me before I woke up...




The next video is right after I woke up...




Then it's time for breakfast, a little playing, and then it's off to school!

This one is of me playing with my favorite toy at school...



This is me climbing all over our room...



This is me & my teacher Miss Renu reading books...





Here is some video of me with my friends...




Then at the end of the day...

Mommy comes to pick me up! Then we go home, play with some toys, eat some dinner, read some books, and then it's time for bed. Then we start it all over the next morning!

Hey Mama!

Check out this video of me in my new swing. Mommy & Daddy got it for me this weekend and then Daddy hung it up. Pay attention...I have something new to say!



I made Mommy's day and said "mama" today!

9 Months Old!

So I turned 9 months old Friday! (If it wasn't a leap year, would I only be 8 months old still?) The week has been pretty good. It started with meeting Zayde for dinner on Monday. He was up in our area teaching a class for a couple days so we met for dinner. He fed me some sweet potatoes, you know I love those!



The weather has been shaping up for us around here, so this week has been fun at school. We go outside to the playground! Our class has a special playground, complete with a sun shade. We have rocking horses and outdoor toys and all kinds of fun stuff out there.

I had my 9-month check up with my doctor Thursday. I'm up to 19 lbs 1 oz, 27-3/4" long, and my head is 18" around. Here are my charts:



That puts me in the 56th percentile for height and weight, and 91st percentile for my head. My doctor is super happy with everything, said I'm right on target for a healthy girl! And guess what? He said I can move on to try all kinds of new foods. So this week Mommy bought my some yogurt, I heard it's good stuff!

So to enjoy the great weather, we all headed to the San Francisco Zoo. It was me, Mommy, and Daddy, Beepers, Uncle Stephane, Marie, and Olivier, Aunty Ginny, Uncle Jason, Abby, and Logan, and Aunty Kathrin, Kristopher, and Ella. We had a blast! We saw all kinds of animals. The zoo just opened a new exhibit, the Grizzly Gulch. It was crazy, you stand on one side of the glass and the grizzly bear is right on the other side. Then we had some lunch, and rode the train. Afterwards we went over to Marie & Olivier's house and played all evening. It was a perfect day!

Here's the picture of us, the stroller brigade at the zoo:



Today we have just been taking it easy. We slept in, and then played all morning. Daddy and I took a nap after lunch. We went out to run a few errands, and then met Kristopher & Ella (and Aunty Kathrin & Uncle Jim) for dinner. It was a great weekend!
