New Toy - Swing Time!

Well... don't tell my parents... but I've got the both of them wrapped around my little finger! Mwahahaha!

I got a new toy this weekend and I LOVE IT!

Here, let me show you what it does... far away

...I could do this all day long!

Canada

Mom and Dad took me to Canada to see Grandma Susie and Pops. We had fun. And I was super good on the airplane.

I enjoyed hangin' out with Pops.

But I was not very helpful when it came to reading the map.

I spent some quality time rearranging Daddy's face.

And Mom made me wear my hoodie because it was a little chilly.

I now know what the Canadian Flag looks like. And I even have my first passport stamp!

Dad, Pops and Mom went for a hike while I hung out with Grandma Susie.

Dad hiking through the treacherous terrain.

Dad and Pops telling Mom to "take the picture already!"

Mom really did enjoy the hike. Pay no attention to her expression.

They saw a beautiful waterfall. (hmm... maybe next time they will take me along)

The Canadian Rockies

Wildlife along side the road.
What a nice pose, Mr. Mountain Goat

Family Photo

We had a great time. I can get used to this family vacation thing!

Big Girl Stuff

So, you all learned about my first tooth in the last episode. Well, I've been doing some other "Big Girl Stuff" lately. Let's look and see what I can do at Seven Months:

I'm tryin' out my Big Girl Stroller

Aunt Laura came over Friday and fed me some Big Girl Green Beans. Yum!

Been hangin' out on the floor, workin' on my Big Girl moves

Mommy says that Big Girls must stay on the blanket...

I'm still on the carpet...
well...
most of me...

O.k., are you ready?
Watch this trick...

Up on all fours!

Hey! I'm a Big Girl, but I can't do laundry yet!

Well, lookie there...those are my feet!

Hey Look! I'm standing!

Now for my favorite...The Big Girl Food
Daddy got me some fun Rice Puff things.
Wait...Is there something on my face?

Anything on my face...?

Come on guys...help me out
Get this off my face

Well, that's all the Big Girl Adventures for now. We'll see ya next time!

Labor Day Weekend

Well... we had a busy, busy three-day weekend and I keep hearing Mommy and Daddy crying something about, "...just one more day!"

Anyways, I've got lots to tell you about!

Are you ready to hear about everything?

Come a little closer so I can tell you all about the weekend!

Let's see... what was I going to tell you about first?

I remember! I am sitting up very well these days. You can't see it in this picture, but I've cut my first tooth! (Soon, I'll be going off to college)

Mawmaw brought my cousins up to visit me. We called Pawpaw on the computer so he could see all three of us together. I kept trying to talk to him on the phone but the boys were talking to him on the computer... I'm so confused.

What??? I'm not old enough to know how all this stuff works... I just got my first tooth, don't rush me!

Hi Pawpaw! Can you see me now?

I don't understand boys, but they are my cousins.

On Monday, we took a family day at a secluded beach in Hawaii... or just a blow up pool with a palm tree in the backyard.

Mommy and I having soooooooo much fun!

Unfortunately, there was one pool toy that scared me... but it's a DUCK mixed with a COW... that's just not right!

Found It!!!

Let's hear it for Mommy! She found the camera!

Speaking of Mommy... we had a good time this weekend with a little road trip to see some of her high school friends.

This is me watching them talking and talking and talking...

Who do you think is cuter?

MIA

Just to keep our faithful readers up-to-date on the where-abouts of one little miss Evie... her parents have temporarily misplaced the digital camera assigned to taking all the wonderful pictures of little miss Evie.

Once the camera is located... more pictures will appear.
