Oatmeal Everywhere!!

Here are some pictures from the past week. My days in the pantry have gotten much more exciting now that I have teeth! Not only can I take everything off the shelves, I can open things up!! I sure surprised Mommy the other day. She was checking her e-mail quick in the computer room and I was playing in the pantry. Well, I opened up a pack of oatmeal and thought it was so much fun to shake it out everywhere! It was raining oatmeal!! You should have seen the look on Mommy's face when she saw what I was up to! Oh man, I just love finding new things to get into!!

So sweet!
All this playing is hard work....gotta take a quick break!

How do you turn this thing on Mommy?

I'll show you how you do it.....you just bite on the oatmeal packet like this....

Then shake it back and forth.....

Then spread it all around the floor like this......

And then you give it a taste....yummy!

Now I'll show you how to open up some drink packets.....

Here's me with Mommy's friend, Dawn! I got to hear all about their funny stories in college! Hopefully I'll find a friend like that too one day!

Going to the Lake!

I got to go to the lakes for the first time this summer!! I think I'm going to have more fun this year now that I can play outside and stuff. They are even making a cool beach for me so I can play in the sand! Daddy, Grandpa and Uncle Dustin were working hard to get it all done. I even got to go on my very first boat ride. I had a lot of fun! I like to bounce up and down while the boat is going!! I hear I get to go to the lakes again this weekend, so I'm excited about that....just not so excited about that long car ride!!!

Aren't we going for a ride yet?
Wow! That gatorade you gave me tasted pretty good! I'm all charged up now!
Is there any fishes out there Daddy?

Let's find some tunes Grandpa! I feel like jammin'!

Grandma was pulling me in my wagon that is usually filled with blocks. Mommy forgot my stroller, so Grandma thought this would work.....what a good idea! I had fun!

Cheese!!

What's that Grandma? We get to go for a boat ride today?

This sand feels pretty weird! It tastes even weirder....quite crunchy!

Oh Bibby....we're gonna have a great time here this summer!

My First Pony...

I got my first pony today.....ponytail that is! My hair is getting so long and it keeps getting in my eyes. Mommy tries to put bows in my hair, but I like to pull them out, so we tried a ponytail today. I had to put my favorite show (baby boost) on in order for me to let Mommy actually put it in. After it was in, I didn't even pull it out!

Wow, I just love this show....
See....check out my cool hair style!

I wonder if I'll be able to dance around like those kids one day?

Just snackin' on my cracker...

I found a cool new place to play.....Bibby's bed! Grandma Tarra put me in there this weekend and now it's one of my favorite places to play. It fits me just right!

Graduation Party

Whoo hoo! Mommy is officially done with school!! We had a party for her this weekend. It was a lot of fun! I got to see so many people! Even my Great Grandma's were able to make it. I was happy to see them again. I will get to see them for my birthday party next month too!

Family photo! I was practicing my "pucker up" face!
Kisses!!

Me, Mommy and Grandma...

Mommy and Auntie Em...

Here's a picture of my with my babysitter Kim and her husband Jim. I've got this new tooth coming in and it felt really good to keep my finger up there!

James was showing me how cool the disco lights were...

I even got to see my friend Brook!

Mommy with our neighbors, Riley and Lindsey. They were thinking of me when they got Mommy some cool bubbles to play with this summer. I can't wait!

These buttons on your shirt Grandma are pretty cool!

My Great Grandma's were posing like I like to do on the steps....I think they figured it out!

Grandpa was helping me walk...

Oh Grandma, I love you!

Hmmm.....I wonder what these "bottles" taste like.

Happy Birthday Great-Grandma Janis! Thanks for coming Great-Grandma's! It was so much fun spending the weekend with you! Can't wait to see you next month!

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a great Mother's Day weekend. I even got to see Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Em!! Grandpa had a convention in another town in Minnesota, so Grandma and Auntie Em tagged along and spent the weekend with me. Mommy had to work, but we still had a good time. We got to go shopping Saturday and on Sunday we went out to eat breakfast when Grandpa came back. Mommy said it was the best Mother's Day ever!! She always tells me how lucky she is to have me as her daughter! I even surprised her in the morning when she came home from work with a really nice present!

Yeahhh.....Grandma's back in town!
Can I try on your glasses Grandma? I promise I won't slobber on them too much!

I know how to give kisses now. Grandma was asking for one, but I was holding out 'cause I think it's kinda funny when she gets "mad" at me for not giving her kisses!

Check out our shopping bags! We had some good luck!

Just walkin' with Auntie Em...

I sure liked those tomatoes. I liked to shove a bunch all in my mouth to see how many I could fit in my cheeks. I think they were all surprised to see how much I liked them.

You're the very best Mommy......

I picked those earrings out just for you Mommy....with a little help from Daddy too!

Fun in the sun!

It was a beautiful day today! All the way into the 70's! Mommy and I went for a walk and played in the yard. I sure think it's fun to eat leaves....I don't know why Mommy thinks it's not such a good idea! I can't wait for Daddy to get home from work! We are going to go for a bike ride and I'm going to ride in my new trailer. It's so much fun!!

I get to see Grandma N, Grandpa T and Auntie Em tomorrow! It's been a long time since I've seen Grandma and Grandpa, so I can't wait to see them!

What? I can't eat this leaf? Can I least see what it tastes like?

I see another leaf!

Now I've got 2 of them!

Just practicing my modeling pose....

Hey Mommy...can I see that camara please?

OK, so I realize this isn't the most flattering picture of me....but check out my 2 front teeth!

Peek-A-Boo!

Are you serious Mommy? You think I should be drinking milk out of a sippy cup now.....I'm not so sure about that idea!!

You found me!

I'm such a silly girl!
