Spring is Here

Gi Gi Gail came to visit last week and brought the spring weather with her. I took her to playgroup at the park. Here I am catching my breath after a lot of running. She brought me some new "big girl" pajamas and did my hair in "big girl" pony tails.
Ga Ga Gary flew in from Wyoming and he and Daddy took out some bushes to make room for my new yard toys. I have a climbing cube, a big slide and a small slide with a fort. The fort is just the right size for me, but Daddy really wanted to try it out, too. I am so happy that I can play outside. It is going to be a fun spring and summer!

Reading Room

Over the weekend, Mom and Dad made some improvements to my room. They put up cubes for me to put my books in and moved some of the furniture. I like being able to find my favorite books, especially The Belly Button Book, Barnyard Dance and Pajama Time. If you can't tell, my favorite author is Sandra Boynton. I love reading them in my cozy window spot.

Beauty Queen

My first attempt at lipstick. What do you think? Is it my color?

Cheers!

Where's the party? I am all set with my big chug mugs and my "beer" (milk) belly!

I'm Back (all of March edition?)!!!!

Hey guys, I'm back - let's catch up!

On March 1st mom and dad took me to the Beanstalk Cafe. They have lots of stuff to climb through and on:















The best part? watching dad try to follow and catch me!


































Later that day dad re-wired the stereo speakers. Of course he needed my help:



















I like to sit in my chair with my buds, Elmo and Blue Fish















We also made some pizza. MMmmmmmm! I love pepperoni!















On March 4th, I took snowman (I call him Snow-me) for a ride on my tractor. He thinks it's sexy (my tractor).




















One day I found my mommy's swim goggles. Whaddya know, they fit? Looking good eh?















Mommy bought some new rain/spring boots, but I thought I'd better give them a test drive before she ventures out in them. I'm pretty proud of myself, oh and I love hamming it up for the camera, in case you can't tell.









































I got my own boots later that week, a bit more my own size:



















This is the shirt I wore on St. Patricks Day (dad got it for me in Japan). Strike a pose!

My Aunt Mary from California was here this past weekend. A perfect occasion to try on my flower girl dress for her wedding in July. The dress is a big girl size 2, but I'm a pretty tall drink-of-water, so I can pull it off!

This past weekend was also Aunt Mary's wedding shower, so I came along to help her open presents:















Here I am posing for a picture that I don't think I was even the subject of - hey the camera loves me, and I love it back!



















Mmmmmm, green cake (well, mostly the frosting!)















Of course today is Easter Sunday and mommy bought me a pretty purple and green dress. And while I put on a good show for the camera, I was hollering "off off off!!!" behind the scenes and trying to pull it off. I am sort of in a "dress myself" phase right now, and after the pictures were taken I ran up to my bedroom and grabbed a pair of my blue jeans.






















I did make it long enough to get a good picture with daddy (this is my best fake smile):















The true mood of the morning is starting to show:






























Here is my easter loot, all being carried by my fun new "big dump truck" just like my cool cousin Simon has (you can also see my choice of easter wear for the day):
















Thanks to the easter bunny (mom) for totally hooking me up this year. How did he (she actually) know I like chocolate?

These boots are made for walkin'...

And that's just what they'll do...Once I get one foot in each boot and turn them around! Then they'll walk all over the kitchen.

I'm back

Hi Everyone! I know that I haven't been doing much blogging. I have been so busy since Christmas. We went to Grand Bahama Island for vacation with all my Plum cousins, aunts and uncles. In January we went up north to visit them too because I love them so much. Here I am with my "kissing cousin" and BFF Ally Plum.
While Mom and Dad spent a lot of time cleaning up from the holidays and unpacking from our trips, I practiced my accessorizing and let Mom and Dad know I'm ready for another island get-away.
February has been a very tasty month. I helped Mom and Dad host a Super Bowl party and enjoyed Daddy's homemade fried pickles. Right after that it was Paczki Day (Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday) and Mommy and I got "special doughnuts." They are super yummy! At school for Valentine's Day we made red jello and pink rice krispies. Good thing I run and jump so much to use up all this sugar energy.

Hugs and Kisses,
Emily
