July 2009

Here I am at the annual 4th of July pancake breakfast at the Bothell fire station. This year I got my very own bike helmet since I'm learning to ride my tricycle. I got my face painted (below) before getting ready to ride my tricycle in the parade.

Mom got to go to Arizona to see Daniel sealed to aunt Heather and uncle Andrew.

Mom got a kit from the library about noises and it came with sweet noisemakers that you can put around your wrists and ankles. Good times.

You hide, I'll find you - June 2009

I made sister giggle a lot tonight after dinner by playing hide and seek. She is especially good at finding me. It probably doesn't help that I tell her to come find me from where I'm hiding, or that I just hid there the time before. It's still fun. Maybe I'll find some new hiding places to throw her off.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle go - June 2009

Today, I sang "Wiggle wiggle wiggle go!...wiggle wiggle wiggle go!...Hold still!........... ,from Yo Gabba Gabba, to sister after lunch and we shook our heads together. And Keira is walking more each day. Mostly to mom. Maybe if I coat my fingers with pixie stix candy, like dad gave me today, she'll walk to me next time. She seemed to like it after I gave her a tiny bit after asking mom's permission of course.

Keira's first steps! - May 2009

I'm so proud of my little sister. She took her very first steps today into mom's arms. Below are some pictures of what we've been up to lately. Mom and dad and grandma and grandpa took us to the aquarium and a worker took out a star fish for me to touch.

Swimming in my dreams - May 2009

Mom and dad just came in to cover me up for the night and I half woke for a moment to tell them that they turned the lights off and then said something something about swimming...here's why. You'll see my favorite swim teacher Erica. Keira is still "testing the waters" as they say.

My Perspective - May 2009

You know mom and dad let me take pictures sometimes so I thought I'd showcase a few that I've taken over the last couple of months (I can't take credit for the pictures of me obviously;) Sis looks about as thrilled as I am to go to Costco in the first picture. I see you in the rear view dad! Erica's friend Julie came to visit. And whenever dad is grilling (or cooking for that matter) you know it's going to good! Also, Kim came over and held sis and took the picture of me with sis.
