What's Next, The Cookie Jar? - July 2007

I know that it's been a while since my last blog, so here's the latest update. I started to try out this crawling business that everyone keeps talking about on the same day that Grammy McReynolds had her birthday. I thought it would be a nice gift for her since my parents don't give me an allowance yet. I'm still perfecting it. Grammy McReynolds also visited me this past week and she taught me how to get into things when mommy wasn't looking (hence the photo). I've been teasing my parents that I'm going to get teeth soon, but I'm still a toothless wonder. And I've been to my first wedding...congrats Amy & Brian!

Swimming SUITS Me - June 2007

I went swimming today for the first time! Mom took me to the Mountlake Terrace Rec center where they have two kiddie pools. At first I wasn't quite thrilled at the prospect of swimming. But I soon got used to the splashing and screaming kids and decided to join in. My floatie swimsuit that grandma got for me was great for just lounging around. After 2 hours, 5 mouthfulls of water, and all the kicking and splashing that I could muster, we called it a day. Bath time tonight just won't be the same.

Sunshine On My Shoulder Makes Me Happy - May 2007

I went to Edmonds beach today with some friends of my moms and soaked in some reading and a few rays. Since I was at the beach, I thought it was only appropriate to read my "What Floats" book.

Celebrity Sightings - May 2007

I heard local Bothell American Idol star Blake Lewis was in town, so I begged my parents to take me to see him. My mean parents always put me to bed before American Idol even comes on, so I never get a chance to see it live, or to vote. These are the tragedies of my life. Occasionally I do sneak a viewing on the DVR while my mom showers, but I don't always get a chance. Anyway, he was decent live, but there were way too many super tall people at the performance, so it was really hard to see him. Fortunately for me though, my mom was standing by the corner with me right as his motorcade was pulling into the venue, so I got one good look at him before the show started. He was pretty entertaining, and the weather was really nice, so I didn't really mind riding around in my stroller to see him. Anyway, it was pretty cool to see some celebrities. I also saw Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks QB, at the show. I'll sign off for now, because it is almost time for my bath.

It's Not So Bad - May 2007

Here I am with my fellow 5K-ers. Misty and Lindley (from left to right in the picture) are former classmates of my dad at UW Bothell. I did my first 5K today and I don't know what people complain about because I fell asleep a few minutes into it and I still finished it in 53 minutes and there were still a lot of people behind me. I mean, I wasn't even trying very hard.

Rock and ROLL! - April 2007

I woke up this morning and thought that I'd mix things up a bit. I've had it with only being able to sit up a bit and roll over from my tummy to my back. So today I was reaching for my pacifier and I just rolled over to get it from my back. I also rolled over from my left side on my belly to my back which I haven't done before. And lately, while sitting up, I like to rock back and forth, using my rock hard abs of course. Look out mom and dad...one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, then roll roll roll! I'm not slowing down any time soon. It's the other end of the room or bust!

Mirror Mirror On The Wall... - April 2007

Who's the fairest? Ba...ba...ba! I've recently discovered how hillarious I am when I look into my bathroom mirrors at myself and my mom and say "ba ba ba." I really feel like I might finally be getting through to these grownups with my 'goo'ing and 'baa'ing abilities. Just today I said "Ba ma da!" and they finally realized that it translated to: my cousin Finley keeps telling me how much she likes to blog, so I thought I'd give this whole blog thing a shot. Maybe tomorrow I'll walk on the moon. Maybe later. That one's for you Ailee:)
