How do you get yours?

Daddy says he get’s his kix on route 66, but I get mine from the shelf under the soup with the rest of the cereal. Besides, I think he is teasing because I have seen him get his kix from me, when he thought I wasn’t looking. And I was like, all, “Hey, those kix are mine!”

Tiny Dancer

I’m actually on my way to Pennsylvania right now and these pictures are from last weekend. But here is my favorite ballerina dress.

Mmmm… Short is this One

Today I found a stick. Before I was born we used it to lock the patio door. Now it is a toy that I can play with. I have learned to pull it out of the track by the patio door seconds after mommy or daddy have put it there. I like to walk around with it.

She looks a little ungainly as she is holding the heavy stick in her hand and is a little off balance causing her to waddle a little. Mary holding the stick upright parallel to herself as if measuring herself.

Transition

Mary's transition letter saying that she will transition from 21 May - 29 May I have been given ‘my letter’ that says that I am going to transition from the infant room to the toddler room. Woo-hoo! My first graduation ceremony. And I can walk.


I’m not 100% sure how they are going to transition me over there yet though.

My Ball

Over the weekend mommy and daddy took me to Toys ‘R Us and I got a ball. I really enjoy chasing it around the house, carrying it, and throwing it. Tonight mommy and daddy chased me around. I think they want to play with it too.

Bunnies

Lately, I have become fascinated with bunnies. Did you know that they hop? And they eat carrots (and the weeds in our back yard). They run really fast and you can’t catch them real easily. Maybe when I grow up and get longer legs like my mommy then I can catch them. For now I am content to chase them through the yard with the help of mommy and daddy.

I have also learned that if I open my mouth really wide mommy will put food in it. It is my signal that I am ready for another bite. Who needs this baby sign language anyway.

Playing in the Yard

Mommy went to Denver today so after I finished cleaning up the kitchen daddy let me play outside. It was a beautiful day.
