Cheers, cows and carts, oh my

Another busy Sunday! First daddy and I cheered on mommy as she ran a race. We yelled "go mommy go" over and over again! Then we went to a farm where I saw cows and donkeys and turkeys and a goat. They smelt funny. At the farm I tried ice cream for the first time and didn't like it. It was so gross I spit it out right away. Yuck! Then, I got to ride in three different shopping carts. They were all different sizes and some went really really fast! Finally we made it home and I'm practicing standing up all by myself. I do it, but then I start crying. I'm not really sure why. Well, maybe it's because I know I'm going to fall within a few seconds.

Selfie. It is Selfie Sunday after all. :)

Cows, cows and more cows. You can't see
 him, but I'm staring at one named Tony. 

What about me?

Mommy and daddy keep leaving me at home to go to concerts. Tonight was Billy Joel. What about me? I like Billy too. I heard next week they are going to see Bruno Mars without me. Not fair!
It's not all bad though. I do have a ton of fun hanging out with my babysitters, especially Courtney. We gossip about everyone at day care and play all sorts of games. She even gave me the scoop that Jack is moving away and a few of the other kids are leaving school. I wonder who the newbies will be. 

What?! You're going to a concert and leaving me home?

Showy shorts

My shorts show a lot of leg and that certainly gets the attention of the boys at day care. I know it's a compliment and all when the boys crawl up to, but I could use some more personal space. Just yesterday, Jack nearly climbed right up my legs and to my face like he was going to kiss me. Good thing I had a block to fend him off.

Sunday swinging

One of my favorite things to do is go swinging with daddy. We tried out a new tire swing this weekend. I was a little embarrassed because my dress kept flying up and there were boys at the park. Daddy says not to worry. By the time he lets me date, when I'm 30, they will forget.

Chomping and crawling

Mommy has been sick so she hasn't been able to help me post. Now that she is a little better I have so much to share! My two top teeth have come in. Now I got me four chompers. They aren't fully down, but they are out. It makes it so much easier to chew stuff, real food like chicken and pasta. You can see the teeth sometimes when I smile, but they are elusive (that means difficult to catch) so I have no photo proof yet. It's so hard to see them because I'm constantly on the move. I finally figured out how to crawl. Mommy and daddy may never catch me for a photo ever again. Sitting still is for babies!

My favorite things to crawl toward are shoes and cell phones. Sometimes crawling around makes me so tired that I just pass out where ever I am, like standing up in my jump-a-roo. Pretty funny, huh.

I'm one tired turtle, as mommy likes to say.

New wheels

I got my first set of wheels. I call her Yellow Magic and she is awesome! She makes all kinds of noises and goes real real fast when you get her going. I'm still trying to figure out how to drive myself. She sure is tricky on the turns. Another few tries and I know I'll get it. 

Me and my Yellow Magic going for a spin.
Thanks Pressmans for the hand-me-down.

Daddy's day

Today is Daddy's Day! I have the best daddy in the whole wide WORLD! Nobody else throws me over their shoulder and makes me giggle or flies me around like I'm an airplane making funny sounds or rocks me to bed like my daddy. I love you. Hugs and wet kisses!

Me and my daddy! 

Germ-a-rific

Allegedly (that means you are being blamed when there is no proof), I got mommy and daddy sick. For the record, I was not hiding the fact I was sick. It's not my fault if I'm so cute they can't stop kissing me.

Freedom awaits

I'm really close to crawling. Really close. I've figured out how to get from sitting on my butt to my hands and knees and then how to move my hands forward, I just haven't figured out how to then move my legs. I can kind of crawl backwards a little, but I just find that frustrating. I've also been working on pulling myself up on things. I can kind of do it in my crib and the table in our living room. My friends that can walk say once I figure out how to pull up that walking is next and then I'll experience a freedom I never felt before. That sounds awesome! I can't wait!

Don't let the smile fool you. I'm plotting
how I'm going to pull my way to freedom.

Foiled! Mommy made me fall, right when
I was bout to scale the crib walls.

Selfie Sunday 30

Summah in Boston is HOT. Oh no. Sounds like I'm getting a Bahston accent.

I'm shivtzing!

Fiery lady

I'm really warm and I have a runny nose and I cough a bunch. Daddy tried to give me this purple stuff in this weird thing he put in my mouth. I didn't like it so I spit it out. Yuck! I've never really been sick before. This is no fun. :(

Art aficionado

I had so much fun at the art show today. Everyone kept telling me what a good painter I am. I'm pretty modest so I just smiled and giggled at the compliments. While watercolors are fun, my favorite medium (that means what I use to make art) is drool. I'm getting pretty good at making interesting patterns with my drool on my shirts and floor. If I get enough examples together maybe I can open an exhibit. In the meantime, my watercolor art is on display in Brookline for the next month. Swing on by and check it out.

Family fun at my first art show. Those are
my paintings up top.

Just in case I'm a famous artist one day, this
photo is proof of how it all started.

My creations are currently on display in
Brookline. I'm entertaining making it
a traveling exhibit.

Here are all the artists in my class with
items on display.

Art show on

My art show is still on today. It will be indoors because of the rain. Make sure to RSVP here so I have enough rolls for everyone. I can't guarantee I won't eat yours if you are late. :)

I'm feeling a little nervous. Anyone
else eat when they are nervous? 

Indoor art show is today. It's going to be
 crowded. I hope I brought enough snacks.

Da-da's birthday

Today is daddy's birthday! Yeahhhh! I can't wait to go out and celebrate tonight. I was too excited to wait to give daddy his birthday present today, so I gave it to him on Friday. Want to know what it is? Well, I've been working on saying da-da out loud and I finally did it. It's my first official word. Now I go around saying da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da all day. Daddy laughs a lot and teases mommy that I'm not saying ma-ma. It's just so much harder to get ma-ma out. In honor of daddy's birthday, here are some of my favorite photos of me and daddy.

One of my favorite things to do
is fall asleep on daddy.

Everyone tells me I look like my daddy.
I don't have a beard so I don't see it.

One of our very first photos together.
