Yo Yo Yo

I thought I'd go old school on you all with my Kid 'N Play hairdo - check me out yo!

9 month pictures

I've been out for just as long as I was in, or at least thats what mommy likes to say. We were a little late taking my 9 month professional pictures but thats what happens when you go to daycare and are sick alot. So I was finally feeling better on Mother's Day and mommy wanted to go get my pictures taken. I think they turned out pretty good, the lady at the store had a rainbow colored duster and she kept tickling my nose with it!

Lets go green!

Today mommy thought it would be fun to visit a Family First event, and since it was at a museum I knew we'd have lots of fun. The whole festival was about how to live green and help save our planet. It was a Green Living Family Festival with lots of food, music and fun. I got to explore the Heard Museum and see lots of cool fossils. There was a whole exhibit of snakes, mommy was very afraid but I think they were neat. They even had some of them out so that we could pet them!


There was a petting zoo with strange animals that I had never seen before. There were goats and ducks and a pony.

But my favorite was a little piggy.

After playing with the animals we went and listened to a band that was playing. I love music and started clapping and dancing. It was great day, mommy learned how to be green and I got to explore!

March of Dimes

Today we walked, well mommy walked and I rode in my stroller, in the North Texas March of Dimes' March for Babies. I wasn't sure what all the hoopla was but apparently its a very important charity to mommy. She's been involved in it for years! Mommy headed up her law firm's walk and fundraising efforts and they raised over $5,000 dollars. I really don't know how much that is but I'm guessing its alot more than I've got in my little piggy bank. Mommy's such a sap now that I'm around, prolly because she loves me so much. She tells me how thankful she is to have me and that I'm healthy (well relatively - stupid ear infections). Mommy found 2 families for the firm to walk for, I felt really sad when mommy told me about a little baby boy named Jack. I think Jack was pretty special and I think he's very lucky he gets to be back in heaven with God. My mommy designed posters for the fundraising and I think she did such a great job!

There were so many people at the march, I think there were 25,000 people! Can you believe that? The march was 5 miles long around White Rock Lake. It was a perfect day for it too, not too hot and had a nice breeze. I was excited to see so many people, there were even puppy dogs! I got to meet a few of mommy's friends from work too.

Fun with Flowers

Today mommy, daddy, Gramps, Grandma and I all loaded up and went to the Dallas Arboretum for some family fun. There were so many people there, I was a little concerned that I'd get lost in the crowd but Grandma held me close most of the day!

We all ate lunch first but as usual I thought my hand tasted the best.

I got to practice my newly acquired walking skills on some very interesting ground. Mommy says its called grass but it does not look anything like the grass at our house. It was more like carpet!

They had a "Lil Britches Rodeo" and I got to pretend I was a real
cowboy and ride a bull. Ty Murray ain't got nothing on me!

I tried to ride a stick horse but I'm still a little shorty and I was
having some difficulties with my hat

We saw lots of flowers, I'd never seen so many colorful things in my life before. They were very interesting and felt funny on my fingers. I wondered what they'd taste like but mommy was too quick, she just kept taking them away from me before I had a chance to sneak one in my mouth.

Mommy got an old fashion root beer float and she let me have a taste, it was sooooo yummy. I wanted more but she wouldn't share.

We found a live band playing and decided to sit awhile and listen. You know me I love music and couldn't sit still. Mommy let me dance and I kept clapping my hands to the beat.

After listening to the band we went and settled down for nap time but Grandma thought we should take some pictures first. She's so silly and kept making me giggle. I really wanted to go get her and make her stop but mommy and daddy wouldn't let go of my hands.

When I finally got to lay down Grandma and that tickle bug just wouldn't leave me alone!

The flower park was lots of fun and
I always love seeing Grandma and Gramps!

Happy Easter!

Today was my very first Easter! Aunt Erin, Uncle Boy and my cousin Damon came up to visit and we had lots of fun. Aunt Erin spoils me so I always like it when she comes to visit. Mommy tried to explain something about a bunny that comes and brings toys and things but that he hides eggs for little boys and girls to find. I'm thinking that searching for eggs doesn't sound very fun, maybe I just don't understand the whole concept yet. But I did get lots of goodies. Check out all I got...

• the movie Madagascar
• the movie The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper
• a Baby Einstein cd
  
• a bottle of puffs
• a rocking moo cow
• a set of foam bath letters & numbers
• a pack of water squirt toys
• a stuffed frog washcloth that ribbits
• a frog faucet cover
• a blue sandbucket

and this was all just in one bucket! I also got a baseball basket that had a bunch of candy in it. It had these linky plastic easter eggs that can you believe this - had candy it it. I also got a packaged of marshmellow peeps, but mommy and daddy said I was too little to eat them, boo!
I got a big blow up ball that I love to walk around with and a light up turtle. If this is what the Easter Bunny is all about I think I'm going to really like him.

My first snow!

Last night it started snowing! Can you believe it? Snowing here in Texas, and to make it even more unbelievable it's March! Yup that's right. Mommy left work early since the roads were supposed to get bad and this is what it looked like when she got home.

I was asleep when it really started coming down last night but mommy and daddy were awake and took some neat pictures.

Since we're not prepared for snow like this here in Texas, mommy and daddy stayed home from work and we got to play in the snow all day! At first I was a little unsure what this cold white wet stuff was - it looked pretty from inside - being outside in it was a different story.

But my crazy puppy dog seemed to think this stuff was lots of fun and was having a blast playing in it.



So I started warming up (hehe) to this whole snow concept - but it sure was cold. Just as long as I don't have to touch it.

Ok mommy I'm ready to go back inside.
