Life Has Been CRAZY.....

Sorry for not posting as often as I should be...but Mommy & I have been super busy. I'm crawling now and I'm into everything...it's really fun. I can chase the doggies and follow Mommy into the bathroom. It won't be long before I'm walking!

FUN at Mickey D's....

On our way home from Washington, DC, we stopped at a McDonald's....and it was so much fun because it had a play area. Mommy let me crawl around and play --- and I even made a friend! His name was Nicholas and he was 2 1/2 years old, he kept trying to show me how to crawl up the play tunnels! I couldn't do it, but I had so much fun watching him!

My Uncle Jake...The Diplomat...

So, in April my G-Mama, Mommy & me went to Washington, DC to watch my Uncle Jake get sworn into the Foreign Service. He'll be going to Juarez, Mexico in December. I've switched all my toys over to Spanish so that I can talk to other kids when I go to visit him. I am so proud of him! Here's a picture of us right after the ceremony!

Playing with my friends....

So, I've been keeping super busy here in Fort Wayne playing with my best friends Liam, Carson & Sara! They are so much fun and they have so many cool toys. I can't believe we've been friends for over 6 months! I'm loving life!

My first visit to Arizona....

So, in March I went to Arizona with my Mommy & Daddy ---- we had such a good time! And, I got to meet alot of my cousins & see my Great Uncles & Aunt! I even went with my Cousin Kathy to see Jessica Simpson! I must say, it was a whirlwind vacation. I had a great time and I think I did pretty well on the airplane...in fact, Daddy said I was better on the plane than Mommy. She kept freaking out about everything...luckily she had to worry about me, so it kept her busy. I can't wait to go out and visit again!

Happy 8 Months to Me!

Well, the countdown has begun...only 4 more months until my big birthday! Mommy can't believe I'm already 8 months old! I'm getting stronger & a little braver. I'm starting to stand on my own and my Mommy is helping me walk! Watch out world...pretty soon I'm going to run my own marathon!

Just another day at the park...

It's been so warm & sunny here lately, that Mommy & I decided to go to the playground at the park the other day. It is a really big playground that has swings just for me! It was my very first time on the swings --- and I have to tell you --- I think I'm a natural. Just like my Daddy, I'm a natural athlete. Mommy says that we're going to go to the park at lot this summer! I'm so excited!

In my chair...I rule the world...

Well, when Grandma Arnold came to visit me, she & my Mom went to get me my very own chair! It's just my size and I love to crawl around in it ---- sometimes Earl thinks it's his, but I just tell him who the boss is. I look pretty good in it...ahhh, life is good....

Me, Earl & Grandma Arnold...

Grandma Arnold came to visit me the other weekend ---- and I loved it! Ofcourse, she brought me presents! :) I got lots of attention that weekend...but Earl got a little jealous of me, so Grandma had to give us both love...isn't Earl silly??

My Auntie Lizzie's Birthday!!

Guess what my crazy Auntie Lizzie did for her birthday?!?! She came all the way from Floriday to visit me! It was so much fun to see her! We did so much --- we played, shopped & went swimming! We had a birthday party for her at my house and the Greens (plus Justin!) came over. She got sick the last day she was here, but she still gave me lots of love! I love my Auntie Lizzie and I miss her very much!

Feeling better & back online...

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately...Daddy was out of town and then when he finally came back...Mommy & I got sick! Apparently my friend Liam got sick at Daycare and then got all of us at the playdate sick...even our Mommies! So, I've had to take care of my Mommy & Daddy (and they took care of me too!)...but they're doing better now and I promise to post some more this week...and just to thank you all for not giving up on my blog...I'll give you a little sneak peek of what I'll be blogging about....
***I turned 7 months old last week*****
***I'm getting a bottom tooth!!!*****

Let me tell you about my best friend....

My Daddy & I bought a new TV a couple of weeks ago...and we love it! It's so pretty! We watch ESPN & Dog the Bounty Hunter together. I like to lie on the couch with Daddy and cuddle...this what a Sunday afternoon at my house looks like....

Swimming like a little fishy...

So, I'm taking a swim class at the Y on Thursday mornings. I'm the youngest (and cutest, but that's a given) in my class. My friend Carson takes the class with me and sometimes the pool is too cold for him ---- but never for me! Mommy says I'm getting so good...I still don't like to be on my back, but I am getting good at the belly thing. My teacher's name is Miss Joy and I really like her. She lets me pick out whichever toy I want...I always choose the ducky because it's head fits perfectly into my mouth.
Here are a couple of videos of my most recent swim class...Michael Phelps watch out...your gold medal record is in serious jeopardy in about 20 years!!!!!! Eat your heart out!
