I'm dunking my daddy in the pool! I bounce up and down on his head until he finally goes under! And each time he tries to come up, I say "oh no, you get back down!"
My buddy Jaxson... I was playing hard to get when we played together!
I'm putting my face under water, and it is 100% intentional! I really love swimming!
This is me swimming while at the St. Louis ASF conference with my buddy, Jaxson! I had a absolute blast the entire trip, and it was so great to meet all the cool parents and kids. Danika, I missed seeing you, but my mommy promised that maybe something can work out next summer!
Playing with daddy!
Mommy hasn't posted lately about my birthday bash on July 1st when I turned two so I'll get you up to speed now. I had a great pool party at Bryan and my missy's house... I know, I know, you are all surprised at the location! ; ) I had a great time, but mommy didn't have any room on her camera for more pics. So, no pics for my blog, but I can tell you that I loved the slides and had a great time with all my friends. I was so tired my the end of the day that I could barely eat my Ariele birthday cake.
The last few weeks, I've also decided to flatter my mommy and started saying "mom"!!!! I've done it to her a few times a week on average and its always on purpose! Everyone is so proud of me! I've said it loudly in her ear, bounced at her feet whining it, and even cried "mom" for her when she wasn't there. They tried to think that it was on accident for a while, but after a few times, they realized that I was more than serious that I wanted my mom!
I've also had eye surgery so there's no doubt where I'm looking now!
And did you hear the good news???? I'm going to be a big sister!!!! Mommy and daddy are going to give me a wrestle buddy! They said that its not suppose to be here until Christmas Day and that I can't wrestle with him/her for a while, but I'm still excited! They didn't find out if I get a brother or sister so we're all going to have to wait to find out! Mommy's belly is starting to get big and she says I can't bounce on her much now... that's okay, there's always daddy!
Okay, you're all up to date! Mommy promises to keep up on my busy life much better now that she's feeling better and we're not traveling so much!
I'm here and ready to cheer!
Giving my friend Laura a big hug!
What an awesome night! I went to the middle school football game to see my daddy, and I got to cheer with the cheerleaders! They were all so sweet and I gave all of them hugs and kisses - literally! Mommy and daddy were so proud of me and how much of a big girl I was being, and they promised that we could do it again soon!
You caught me! Mommy says I'm not allowed to play with cords, which is the only reason why I like going under her desk. I think I'm so funny!
This is me all dressed up before Halloween. We had several kids come by the house, and I really liked greeting them at the front door. We then went to the church and I watched all the older kids play games - good times!
I love to ride my daddy!
We went to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend to pick out my pumpkins. I got to pet the horse and goats and take a hay ride! I was such a happy little girl this weekend!
I'm loving life right now! I spent last week on the Carnival Ecstasy with my mom, gamma, gampa, missy, Bryan, Gpa, GG, Kari, and Michael. I really had a great time flirting with all the crew members, dining staff, random passengers who didn't initially notice me but now know my name, and anyone else I could flap my hands and smile at! All things considered, I did pretty well sleeping and quickly became aware that my mom was sleeping two feet away... why does she not want to play at 3am? I can't wait to get home and see daddy though!
I swam in the kid pool a few times on the boat, but it was salt water. I kept trying to taste it - nasty!
My before and after shot of my hair. We decided it was finally time for my first haircut, if you don't count the one rat's nest that I got in my hair after the waterpark with daddy. It really shows off my spirals in the back!
When my mom took off with the laundry, I just had to come in and check out what is so interesting in this room!
