Vacation to Iowa

Here I am on my way to IA. I was like this for most of the ride, but that's ok, there isn't much to see on the way.

We stopped at the Univ of IA and had brunch on the Pentacrest.

Daddy and I got our picture taken in front of the Old Capital.

Mommy had to get a pic with a Cambus. She misses driving one of those.

Finally we get to Aunt K & Undy B house. I get to play with a new toy. Looks like I've got mail. Who wouldn't want to write me and send me presents??

I'm chillin' out in one of the theater room chairs. Its quite comfy and I've already taken it over with my toys! I luv toys.

Father's Day

I got presents for Father's Day! I got this fun t-shirt that says STIN KI PU, which I am ALLLL the time! Daddy calls me that a lot, that's why Mommy got this shirt.

I also got this bib that says Poopy Stinkerpants. He he.

Daddy also got a Family Guy Trivial Pursuit game because he loves to watch Family Guy and he's Rainman when it comes to trivia. Besides getting the game he also found my first TOOTH! So that is the best present of all. :)

B's wedding

This weekend we attended a wedding reception for Mommy's friend B and A. Congrat!

I like having dinner in different places, there are lots of distractions!

Here I am with B's sister T and her son E. I'm too busy checking out E to be bothered with the camera. Mommy and T grew up together, maybe it'll be the same for E and I. :)

Check out those legs!

It's finally warm enough for shorts!!! Check out my first pair.

Look out, female driver!

After being tortured at the pool, Mommy and Daddy took me to the park and I got to try out the swing. Before getting into the swing, Mommy had to wipe it down while Daddy made fun of her.

I drooled and it was a windy day, so it went flying right at Daddy! Mommy said ha ha, that was for making fun of her. I love swinging, it is so much better than being in the pool.

I got to drive my own pink car! Daddy, let me go, I can do this myself. Look out, here I come!

My First Swimming Experience

Mommy decided that we should try out swimming. I had no idea what was going on, but knew I looked super cute in my swimsuit.

The first few minutes were ok. There were a other kids in the class and I like other kids.

After 5 minutes, I decided that I do not like swimming, it is not fun and I want no more of this! I cried and cried the rest of the class. Mommy was embarrassed but oh well, I always get my way. We only went to a few more classes after this one. Maybe when I'm older and can stand on my own it will go better.

Ahhh, much better, I'm away and out of that awful pool.

Auntie K and Undy B

We had visitors this weekend. I love my Undy B, we have fun and go to IKEA all the time.


We went out to dinner at a mexican place. Everyone else said it was yummy, but I didn't get to try, maybe when I'm older.

Grandpa pants

There is never a dull moment when Dad is around. Daddy seems to think pulling my pants up to my arm pits is hilarious. I suppose I don't think it's that bad either.

What? What did you say about me? I can't believe it, how rude!

Learning early

Daddy is all about saving money, so he's teaching me early to start cutting coupons. Now we just have to get Mommy to remember to use them at the store!

Too many boys in the house

This weekend some friends from Iowa visited, they were ALL icky boys! Thank goodness there was a break in all the boyness when they went to a Cubs game.

Here I am flirting with Brody. He's funny and makes me giggle.

All the boys on their way to the game. Hmmm, I wonder where I am, maybe napping? I missed out on the photo op!

Toys all over

I don't know what Mom was thinking, why would I want all these toys when I'm getting ready to eat? I know what to do...

My favorite time...being with Daddy.

Daddy is attempting to read the magazine to me but I'd much rather eat it. Daddy don't you know by now that girls always get their way, better get used to it. I also had my 6 month check-up today. I am 18.6 lbs and 27" tall. My head is 45cm, its huge! Don't buy me any shirts without snaps are flexible necks, cause I hate getting stuck.

I love remotes!

If I'm crabby, hand me a remote and I'll be happy. I like to eat them and press the buttons. Sometimes I press all kinds of buttons and Mommy and Daddy have a hard time figuring out what I did! I'm apparently really crabby cause I got 4 remotes!!!

Pretty flowers for a pretty girl

Mommy got this stroller cause she got tired of taking out the ginormous one to run quick errands. It was a nice day out so we went for a stroll. I'm not so sure I like this stroller yet, I'm still getting used to going outside! Check out the flowers, aren't they pretty?

Trying out the booster

Mommy and Daddy decided to have me try out my booster. I seem to like it. It has some fun toys on it and makes me feel like a big girl.

Happy Mother's Day

This is Mommy's official first Mother's Day. We celebrated with Why-Poi. Here's a 3 generation photo. I'm the cute one in the middle. :)

I'm always getting kisses on my cheeks, its probably cause they are so poofy and cute.

We had hot pot, everyone else thought it was yummy, but I was kind of bored.

Daddy and I got Mommy a video camera. She uses it all the time, it was bad enough with the pictures but now video!? Oh my.

Picture Day - 6 months

Today we took my 6 month pictures. Afterwards we had lunch and by the time I got in the car I was pooped!!

We took some of our own pics while I was still in my cute outfit.


And here are the professional ones.

Check out my crib, yo.

This is my crib at Why-Poi's. I spend some of my day here but if I can help it, I'm usually playing with my toys and watching TV.

This is my crib at home. I like to move around in it and end up in all different positions.

Some weekend fun.

Mommy found these shoes on clearance and couldn't resist getting them for me. They go nicely with this outfit. Mommy said I had sausage arms, so I only had to wear this outfit for the day.

No weekend can go by without being tortured by Daddy. Where does he get these ideas? Grandpa and Grandma S, what did you do to him growing up? Here Daddy decides to put me in the carseat backwards. Its not very comfortable.

Mommy actually did this to me, I find laundry baskets quite comfy.
