My Weekend Update

We went to the Dallas Farmer's Market this morning for some fresh fruits and veggies. Then we walked around the West End and had lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse. There were lots of people, but I did get to try some great mangoes!

Do you see all those veggies?!?!?


And here is the view from my angle...

So mom has finally caught on to my hairstyle preference - I am NOT a bow girl, but I do LOVE hats. Aren't I a cutie?

Grandpa Joel & Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Moms Everywhere!

I have been a pretty busy girl lately. Here I am with mom before lunch today. We went to Carrabba's. I got her the beautiful necklace and earrings that she is wearing in this photo for Mother's Day. I also woke her up with kisses this morning.

"MMM-waa!" That's how I "kiss" these days...

We went to the mall yesterday - I got this cute dress. Dad thinks I look like an Orphan, but I think I look pretty hip!

Here I am at the aquarium with Dad. It was so much fun!

And this is my Grandpa Joel. He lives in Oregon, but got to come see me last week! I love him and miss him already!

Swimming Pools...the Zoo...and my first Pee!

Let me just start by saying sorry, everyone. My mom made me add that last one. It wasn't really my first pee, but it was the first time I went pee in my big girl potty. Mom and Dad bought me a toilet a little while ago and everyday mom pulls my pants down and sits me on it, which I usually think is pretty funny. Well this morning I fooled her, and I went pee. Mom was a little bit too proud of me, clapping and cheering and shouting and all, but I guess this means that we are on our way to potty training and maybe I can loose these diapers soon.

Now that we have that out of the way, let me show you what I have been up to. The photo above is me at Nolan's first birthday party. He had it at the zoo, which was really fun. I got to see all sorts of animals. Happy Birthday Nolan!

Here I am petting a python at Nolan's party. I was way more brave than my Mom. This python's name is Monty and the zookeeper said he smells with his tongue!

I am laughing at mom and dad in this photograph. I have had a stomach virus all week (no need for concern- I am better now). I was in a surprisingly good mood all week though - I am one tough cookie.

This is the pool that Dad bought for me. It has a slide and a giraffe that shoots water out of his mouth. I love having a backyard!

Mom has been putting these bows in my hair all week. I'm not sure why, I really don't like them one bit, but I left them in long enough for her to take a photo this time.

Now some of you may already know this, but I have been sleeping in a big girl bed (no crib anymore!) for a few weeks now. I much prefer it to my crib. I am becoming such a big girl!
