Potty Progress: Week Two...

July 16, 2009...Week Two and I'm doing even better!!! I earned 34 stickers this week...double the amount I earned last week. I now have 51 stickers in all!!! I earned my jersey, and it is on the way. Now, I'm working towards a trip to get gelato at a new cafe. I only need 9 more stickers!

My First Swim Lesson...

July 11, 2009...I took my first real swim lesson today at the YMCA. I cried when I got there, but once I calmed down, I had a great time. My instructor's name was Sebastian, and he was very nice. I got to float on my back, work on my arm strokes, kick, and jump in the pool. Ainsley took swim lessons with me.

Fun with Friends...

July 7, 2009...Ainsley came over for a playdate today after we
went to the YMCA. I tried to get her interested in baseball... Yes, I'm in my underwear!
July 8, 2009...Cam came over for a playdate today. I haven't

seen him much lately because he went on a long trip. We
had a lot of fun together!
We cleaned our plates and were spoiled with ice cream cones!

(See Reesey on the floor behind us? I think he really wanted

an ice cream cone, too!)

First time on a slip & slide VIDEO...

Happy Fourth of July!!!

July 4, 2009...Happy Fourth of July! We did some All-American things today...pool time, baseball, sparklers, and homemade ice cream! Here are some pictures from my fun day...

Chillin' at the pool...

I love my swim vest. I can go everywhere with it!

Playing baseball with everyone. I'm the batter. Grammy

is the catcher. Grandpa is the umpire. Daddy is the pitcher.

Mommy & Reesey are the fans.

VIDEO...Here's a video of all the action!

My first time with sparklers!!!

Making ice cream with Grandpa & Daddy...

I was working hard!

Cranking with Daddy...
Decorating a flag cake with Grammy. I decided to do

my own interpretation of the American flag...

Check out our masterpiece!

VIDEO...Sparklers are even cooler in the dark!

Baseball Player...

July 3, 2009...I am obsessed with baseball!!! I love to play, and I have to get geared up in my hat, jersey, baseball socks, underwear, and "cleats." I will not play without any of these items. I like to be the pitcher...
and the batter...

I even do some stretching beforehand...

Lately...

July 1-3, 2009...I've been learning how to build with Legos (thanks, Uncle Matt) and potty training! We've been staying at home a lot, so I can work on my potty training. This is my "cheese"y grin.

Out Trip to Baltimore, MD...

June 26-28, 2009...We took a family trip to Baltimore, Maryland. We spent the weekend with Grammy, Grandpa, Uncle Matt, Auntie Jo Jo, Uncle Mike, Charlie & Crosby. We went to the National Aquarium! That was really cool. I really liked the dolphins and sting rays. Here are lots of pictures from our trip.
