My Birthday Party...Take One...

June 20, 2009...I had one of my birthday parties today. I am going to be 3 years old in 3 days. This party was a family party. I couldn't wait to open my presents. I opened them pretty much immediately after the party started. I had fun playing with all of my new toys, and I also had fun playing baseball with everyone after cake and ice cream. Nana came from Michigan and Uncle Mark & Aunt Kathy came from Ohio...all to help me celebrate. I had a blast!

My Baseball Jersey...

June 10, 2009...Here I am in my Cincinnati Reds baseball jersey. Uncle Mark got it for me for my birthday last year. Now that I am really into baseball, I want to wear it all the time. I even wear black socks like real baseball players do. Lately, it is rare to see me without my Big House baseball cap and my very own glove.

Playdate with Ainsley

June 9, 2009...I had a playdate with my friend Ainsley today. After our mommies worked out at the Y, she came over to my house. We played inside and outside, and we even had some watermelon. Then, we went to the pool together. It was really fun! I hope she'll come over again soon.

Camp Kick-off...

June 7, 2009...Here I am at the YMCA for camp orientation. I am going to camp this summer in August. Mommy was really excited about the orientation because I am going to a camp that she went to when she was younger. She used to have assemblies in this shelter, and she was even a camp counselor here, too. I think camp is going to be fun! I got to meet some of the counselors, pitch my baseball to them, and have a hot dog & chips for dinner.

My First Bulls Game of the Season..

May 30, 2009...Daddy, Mommy, Roo, & I went to a Durham Bulls game tonight. Before the game, I played catch with Daddy outside the stadium. It was so much fun, especially because I have my very own glove now. We saw Uncle Rob, Aunt Lori, & Lindsey there. I love baseball, but I was worried there might be fireworks at this game. Luckily, there weren't any.

With Daddy & cousin Lindsey...

May 22-29, 2009...My trip to Hilton Head Island, SC. Daddy, Mommy, Reesey & I went to Hilton Head Island with Grammy, Grandpa, Uncle Matt, Sara, Auntie Jo Jo, Uncle Mike, Charlie & my new cousin, Crosby. I got to ride down in Grandpa's Tahoe with Grammy & Grandpa. We had a fun trip down. Daddy, Mommy, & Reese rode down together later in the day. We met for dinner. I had lots of fun all week with my family. I especially loved playing baseball with Daddy, eating ice cream cones, playing in the sand with Uncle Matt, and spending some time with my cousin, Charlie. Here are some pictures from my trip.
