Wheee!

It was a nice day here today so mommy took me to the park. I'm pretty sure that there will not be too many days left where we can go to the park. I had a great time. I had more fun then usual - I actually liked swinging, sliding and climbing all around on my own! Here is a video of me enjoying the swing:

Our trip to Arkansas - visiting the Sheridan family

I had a great time seeing all my family in Sheridan. Unfortunately as mentioned before, Mommy did a terrible job of taking pictures! I had a great time playing outside - it was my favorite thing to do. We also got to go to the Grant County Museum, which despite what you may think, is actually really nice and interesting. This is the final post in my series about our visit to Arkansas. Even though traveling is hard, it was totally worth it to come to Arkansas to visit all of my family. We miss you all and hope to see you soon!

Our trip to Arkansas - visiting the tulips in Hot Springs

While we were in Arkansas, Mommy and Mimi took me to Hot Springs to Garvan Woodland Gardens to see the tulips. They were mostly dying, but we got a few good pictures. I got to wear the really cute dress my grams gave me while I was in Mountain Home. I had a great time and wanted to walk the whole way, but Mommy and Mimi said I was too slow! Afterwards we went to eat at Outback and I now know not to order mac and cheese from there!

Our trip to Arkansas - visiting the Mountain Home family

Let me first say that mommy did a TERRIBLE job taking pictures, as in she carried her camera around and never used it! So sorry Grams, Gramps, Emily, and Miles! Mommy promises that next time she will do better. I am very glad to have gotten to visit you all again! I had a lot of fun playing with my cousin Miles and his toys. It was great to see my grandparents and I warmed up to them very fast. It was a short visit, but next time we will stay longer. Here are a couple of pictures of me playing with the last of the daffodils in Gram's yard:

Our trip to Arkansas - visiting our friends and 15 mos check up

This will be a bit of a double post. First here is part II of our trip to Arkansas.



Mommy and I got to visit our friends Candice and Alisa and their kids: Alyssa Kate, Caroline, Greyson, and Griffin. We went to the zoo and out to eat. That was fun but eating out with 5 kids under 4 is very interesting! As you can see in this picture Griffin did not want to have his picture taken and all of us kids are looking at him trying to figure out what is going on!

Today I had my 15th month check up and I hated it and screamed everytime they touched me! I weighted 20.8 lbs and was 31.5 inches long. I am doing everything just right. The doctor asked if I could point to my body parts and I know where my belly button and nose are. She also asked if I used any words and I use around 10. The doc said that was very good. I can say: mama, daddy, kitty, ball, bye-bye, milk, more (and in sign language), pattycake (I just say cake), and I can meow, woof, and moo. There may be some others but that is all I can remember right now.

Our trip to Arkansas - the big plane ride!

This will be the first in a series of posts about our trip to Arkansas. We have very much enjoyed seeing our family and friends! This post is all about our plane ride to Arkansas. I was a very good girl on the trip and only whined while mom had to hold me while boarding the plane. I slept the almost the whole ride from Phoenix to Dallas and mom read to me and kept me entertained while flying from Dallas to Little Rock. Mom was able to find all the play areas at the airport to keep me entertained while in the airport. The hardest part was finding something I would eat. Airports do not have food for babies! I ate a part of a yogurt parfait in Phoenix and some of mom's chips and in Dallas I ate an entire slice of Sbarro cheese pizza!
