Winks & Blinks

Hey, I've been working on my winking!

Awww well....I dunno, how do you think I did?

I think I've got the two-eye blink down pat, don't you?
President's Day Conversation

David & I got the chance to hang out & play together on President's Day!

Everybody thought it was especially funny when we decided to hang out underneath David's activity saucer! We were having a private conversation!
12 Month Checkup

Daddy & Mommy brought me here to the doctor's office for my 12 month checkup! It looks like I'm a light-weight...

...and a bit petite, too!

Hmmm, I wonder what they're doing now?

Owwww! Shots! I'm really sad now!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! Daddy was so busy installing the wood floors, that Mommy & I went to meet him in Pasadena for a Valentine's lunch at Souplantation!

Mmmmmmm-smooch! Here are kisses for you and you and you and you!

The good news is that Daddy has finished installing all the hardwood floors in our new home! Do you like it?

So, to celebrate the completion of the hardwood floors and also Valentine's Day, Mommy & Daddy had a nice take-out dinner in bed after I went to sleep! I wonder why they didn't want to have dinner with me...???
Marriot Boat Ride

We went to visit the Marriot in Palm Springs and their common meeting areas are amazing! They had many tropical birds like this one in the picture!

And the hotel was partly surrounded by a man-made water garden, with bridges & fountains & lots of ducks swimming around!

We ended our trip to Palm Springs with the boat ride around the Marriot! My favorite part was watching the ducks!
The Living Desert

Road trips are fun! Now it's my turn to drive!

We went to a zoo called the Living Desert and I got to sit on this cool camel...

...and play by this huge gecko!...

...and even pet the animals in the petting zone!

I had fun with all the kids! Timothy is the one standing up all the way at the end, Kyle is next, and Melanie & Ryan are sitting next to me!

I think even the parents had fun today! (And the parents-to-be, too!)
Getting Ready for Palm Springs

We're planning on going to Palm Springs for the weekend and we're leaving tonight! Mommy is so busy packing - she forgot to put my pants on!

We're going to caravan with Kyle & his family...once we've finished dinner & playing together! I love your all the cool toys you have, Kyle!
Fritto Misto

Mommy & Auntie Amy took me out to a great Italian restaurant called Fritto Misto!

Hmmmm...I wonder what's on the menu, today? Let's take a look in here...

Ha ha! I'm just kidding! Fooled you, didn't I? Just wanted to say thanks to Gung Gung, Po Po & Auntie Amy for coming to celebrate my birthday together & showering me with love & fun & kisses! I'll miss you when you go back to Texas tomorrow!
Girl Time

Today, it's the girls' day to hang out! Here I am with Auntie Amy - she helped me tie my hair back so my silly bangs would quit falling into my eyes!
Birthday Presents

Wow! Look at me! I'm surrouded by birthday presents! Thank you everybody for all the pretty boxes & bags of birthday goodies!
