New things

There are quite a few new things that I like to do. My favorite toy at the park is the slide and mommy and daddy can't get me off of it. I like to "help" mommy around the house. I am a good helper when it comes to the laundry. Right now I need to go take a nap because I am grouchy.

Road Trip to Pa

Two weeks ago Mommy, Aunt Nancy and I took a road trip back to Pa. The first day of the trip was a fairly easy because all we did was drive to see Grandma and Grandpa Flood in Tricities. They were really happy to see me and thought I was so cute.
Monday morning before we headed out on our trip, Aunt Kristin and Emma came over to see me. Emma and I are still unsure of each other and don't really play together. I was too interested in the slide at grandma's and grandpas. Then we had to get in the car and start a really long trip back to my house.
The first day we made it to Montana. The ride was really long and really hot. Being stuck in the backseat was quite boring. I got fussy and just wanted to get out and play. It was a long night for mommy and auntie nancy up for four hours straight. So we got a late start the next morning. we got late starts most of the mornings.
The second day we stayed in South Dakota. Pretty much the same thing each day. I slept and wanted to get out and play all the time. I don't like sitting in my car seat for long times. But I like to sit in my car seat when its out of the car.
We stayed in Iowa the next day. We drove past the town where daddy lived when he was little. Except I was asleep. There isn't much scenery so not excited part of the country to see.
The last night we stayed in Indiana. by the airport or not to far from it. Mommy took a side trip that day and I got to see Notre Dame. We just drove around it because I think mommy didn't want to have to deal with getting me in and out. We made it to Pa that night and I was really happy not to have to be in the car anymore. I recognized daddy right away and ran to him. Mommy likes that because she gets a little break now and then.
We are waiting for the weather to cool of here. Its still really warm and I am running around in summer clothes.

who do i look like?

Sometimes Auntie Bri has to do things herself!

Mommy is slacking

Mommy is slacking on keeping everyone update. This weekend has kinda busy.
Friday I had to go the doctors for my 15 month checkup. I am 20lbs 15oz. and 31 1/2 inches tall. The doctor said that I am doing just fine and I am hitting all of my developmental milestones. Then I had to get four shots. I didn't like mommy much because she was holding me with I got them. Later that afternoon mommy, gema, and I went to Federal Way festival days. Not that exciting. So we left and went to dinner. I decided that at dinner I wanted to have mommy's sandwich instead of mine. So mommy got suck eating peanut butter and jelly.
Saturday we stayed around the house. Mommy is busy trying to get us pack.
Sunday we went out shopping. I was pretty good at the stores until I got tired. I was in the cart at Linens and Things and decided to tell mommy that I was mad. Mommy and Gema were talking to a friend and I got bored.
I am learning new tricks all of the time. I hid from mommy and auntie nancy the other day. They couldn't find me for a couple of minutes. I was hiding in the corner of the dining room behind the chair.

Weekend

This weekend was a long rainy weekend. Gema is out of town so I am stuck with Mommy all day. Mommy got me pizza on Saturday night to eat. Yummy.
Yesterday(Sunday) Mommy, Auntie Nancy, and I went into Seattle to watch Auntie B do one of her triathlons. I got up at about 5:30 and stayed up until 10:30 without a nap. I was a happy baby most of the time, despite the fact that I was out in the rain for about 2 hours. Auntie B did really well. She placed 7th in her age group and 80th out of 3,500 overall. Yeah Auntie B. On the way home, I fell asleep and slept for two hours--I think mommy was happy about that. I woke up just before Auntie B and Spring stopped by. Now I have 3 cats to chase around the house.(Auntie B dropped her cat off for the week.)
Belle-Belle lets me pet her and talk to her. Snickers is my playmate. He lets me crawl all over him and I carry on conversations with him. Wouldn't mommy like to know what I tell him. I am going to miss them when I leave. I have found their climbing toy and I love to crawl up in it now.

Lunch with Auntie B

Yesterday Mommy, Gema and I went to see Auntie B for lunch. While we were there we saw all of Auntie B's friends that think I am just the cutiest thing. This time during lunch, I decided that I would be good. Last time I made a big mess. We had burritos for lunch that were really yummy. Mommy gave me half of hers. Or should I say, I took Mommy's.

iSpeak!

I'm learning to talk! Just a few words here and there, but I think the tall ones are starting to understand what I'm saying. I still like to do most of my communicating by throwing things or screaming loudly, but once in awhile you can hear me say "no" "mine" "up" "down" "thank you" Sometimes I really freak out Mommy by jabbering what sounds like an entire sentence!

I also like to take my dolly with me. When I wake up from naps I make sure that I get my blankie, my light up Pooh doll and my dolly before the big people take me out of my cage (crib).

Who am I?

I was born on May 19, 2006 in Pittsburgh, PA. My due date was supposed to be June 12, but I decided to surprise Mommy and come a few weeks early. My first week was pretty rough and I spent it in NICU, but I think I'm doing well now. I'm a bit clumsy, but that was determined by genetics before I was even born.

I moved to Washington about three months after I was born. My Daddy went to New York for training for work and Mommy wanted to be closer to family while Daddy was busy with work. I've become quite the traveler and have made several cross-country flights. Usually I'm pretty good, but sometimes I like to screech.

Daddy just found out this week that he has to go back to Pittsburgh for work. Mommy and I will be moving back in a couple weeks. ROAD TRIP!!! I think I'm still to young to really enjoy that. I tend to fall asleep in my car seat in the middle of a conversation with people.
