Happy 4th!

Happy Fourth of July! It's funny and a little ironic that I begin my post with that, because I refused to say it all day yesterday. I'll repeat most anything Mommy or Daddy or Grandpa or Gigi or Pops or Grammy or Grampa Billy says, but I would not say "Happy Fourth of July," "Happy Fourth," "Happy July Fourth," or "Happy Independence Day." My Daddy is sure it has nothing to do with my patriotism; it was just a funny game I played!

I had a great day! I woke up and helped Mommy and Daddy get packed up, then we loaded in the car and made the drive from San Antonio to San Marcos. We picked up Grandpa and Gigi and drove to Martindale for the July 4th parade. I loved it! First I got to visit with the Roberts family, and then Gigi gave me a flag to wave during the parade. I saw a police car, fire trucks, old cars, horses, kids on bikes, and trailers. And they all threw candy!!! I loved waving my flag and waving hello to everybody who came by! When the parade got to the end of Main Street, it turned around and came back by. That time, a nice man and his wife invited me (and Mommy and Daddy) to ride on the back of his golf cart--so I was in the parade too!! I waved to everybody we passed! By the way, check out my outfit! I was adorable in my red, white, and blue!
After the parade, we went back to Grandpa and Gigi's for lunch. Mimi, Gran, Jake, and Bill all came over and Grandpa barbecued chickens. After my nap, I played for a while and gave Rowdy and Willy a few more treats.

Then we drove to the "ribber." I loved the river! Mommy and Daddy weren't sure, because I've been a little hesitant in the pool this summer--even my baby pool in the backyard. I wasn't hesitant in the river though! I walked around, picked up rocks and threw them, looked at minnows and baby frogs, and watched Daddy and Grandpa and Gigi swim (Mommy hung out with me). I liked seeing leaves and bubbles float by in the water, and I liked when Daddy picked me up way up high by my arms and then let me splash my feet in the water! One person I wasn't sure about was Charlie, the man who lives in the house next door to Grandpa and Gigi's river lot. He was nice to me, but kind of loud when he talked and laughed. He was wearing his American flag swimsuit and an old cowboy hat with a big turkey feather stuck in band. I wasn't sure what to think about him, but I did like his puppy dog.

After all that fun, we went back to Grandpa and Gigi's and I had dinner and a bath, then got packed up and came back home to go to sleep. It was such a fun day, and I slept like a rock!
Love you all!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
