So I guess Easter really started a week ago. Mom and Dad and I all sat around the table with a bunch of eggs. They gave me one and I smacked it on the table. So from then on, that was MY egg. Mom took the rest of the eggs and put them in little cups and when she took them out they were different colors. Crazy. I didn’t really care though. Mom and Dad were having more fun than I was. I just watched and smacked my egg around. So apparently we get to do that every year. Hopefully it will be more fun when I know what is going on.
I also got an Easter present from Gamma - it was a big red wagon. It has 2 seats with belts so I don't fall out and a holder for my milk cup. It's pretty cool since I like to be pushed/pulled around outside.
A week after that it was Easter! Mom said the Easter Bunny came and left me a present. She said that he didn’t hide it this year because I was too little to look for it. It was cool! It had a MagnaDoodle (because I love coloring), a fun spinny light thing, a MN Twins hat, and movie about happy penguins. It was great. Aunt Kristie also came over that morning and brought me a cool bucket that had fun rubber snakes in all different colors and eggs shaped like frogs and basketballs that had cookies in them. It also had a t-shirt and sunglasses. I loved it all! Mom is afraid she is going to step on one of the snakes in the dark and get scared. Silly mom - they're not real.
Later we went over to Great Aunt Pam's house for a big feast! I played with Anne for a long time and she even got down on the floor with me and played cars and colored pictures with me. It was so fun. Grandma came and gave me an Easter present - it was a huge chair shaped like a dump truck. I sat in it right away, then they flipped part of it and I could climb all over. Then Anne pushed me around in it and then I pushed it around. It was so fun - I can't wait to play with it at Grandma's house. Then for dinner I had a banana and fruit, I didn't want any ham or potatoes, why would I when I can have fruit? After dinner I went on along walk with a bunch of people. It was so fun - there was so much to see! As soon as were all piled in the car to go home, I fell asleep. I was tired from all of the fun!
How long is it until the next Easter?

Monday, March 26, 2007
I've had a pretty good week. It all started last Monday when Mom brought me to the zoo. We walked inside because the wind was so cold, I though it was biting my face! We saw lots of animals - birds, monkeys and FISH! It was really fun, I just sat back and relaxed.
A few days later we met Grandma and Grandpa at a restaurant because it was Grandma's birthday. I had rice, chicken, PB&J and fruit. I loved the rice, it was so much fun to eat! We all had lots of fun. After we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and played, then I got to sleep over!
On Saturday Mom and Dad took me to the shopping place to welcome the Easter Bunny. He was very big and wearing funny clothes. I got my picture taken with him and that was the last I saw of him. We saw some real live bunnies that we could touch. They were even softer than my kitty. We also got to color. They had a big table with pictures that we could color and they had out tons of crayons. It was fun. Mom and I stayed and colored for a while. I would draw a little, then watch the kids next to me. I love watching other kids play, it's my favorite.
Then on Sunday we went to the zoo again! This time Dad came too. It was really nice out so we decided to take the trail outside. It was beautiful and we were seeing lots of animals. Then when we got to the Wolves, it started raining. It wasn't bad at first, so Mom and Dad just put the roof on my stroller, but then it started pouring! We ran over to the tiger exhibit and hung out there for a few minutes. Then we decided to make a run for it. We were cruising, because it started raining even harder. We finally made it inside and we went to see the fish. I was up there looking at the fish and this girl came out of nowhere and started hugging me and kissing me. It scared me at first so I ran over to Mom and Dad. But then next time I went to see the fish she found me again! So I just let her hug and kiss me, it wasn't so bad.
So those are my many adventures - lots of fun!

Good Times in the Sun
I love being out in the sun and being with my Gamma. Luckily, Mom brought me to CA so I could enjoy both! Last week Dad dropped me, Mom, and Aunt Kristie off at the airport. Soon we were on a plane and heading for Gamma's in CA! I did not enjoy the ride very much. I just wanted to see Gamma so badly and they wouldn't let me run around. So when we got there I was very relieved. Mom let me out of the stroller when we were getting close to Gamma and Grandpa Q. I got to walk right up to her. She was so excited; it was the first time she got to see me walk in person! They gave me lots of hugs and kisses and let me run around a bit.
We were all pretty hungry and even though it was getting close to bedtime, we went for pizza at Shakeys. We had to because it's Grandpa Q's favorite. At the restaurant Gamma and me ran around and played with the rides and games. I had pizza and it was good! Everyone else must have like it too, because it was all gone when we left.
The next day we just kept it pretty relaxed. We hung out and played and went outside. We played in the BIG pool and I met a lot of new friends. We didn't stay too long though because I wanted to run as much as I could, and they didn't think that was very safe in the pool area. Gamma and Grandpa Q took me back to the house on the golf cart. It's like a little car where there are no doors! So fun.
The next day Mom and Gamma and I went to the Living Desert. It's kind of like the zoo, except it's all outside. I was kind of grumpy though because it was really hot out and not very many of the animals were out. I guess they were really hot too, so they were hiding. Gamma bought me a neat rubber snake that I can wave around; it likes to hang around my neck while I walk around the house. I also got a t-shirt and a book.
Even though they didn't think I should hang out at the big pool, Gamma had one in the backyard for me. It was really fun. I could sit in there by myself and play with cups and squeal; I loved it! After the first few days I started feeling kind of icky. It was sad, but I made the best of it when I could. I had a tummy ache, so I didn't eat as much as I normally would. I still had fun and went in my pool and went for golf cart rides. Gamma had lots of toys at her house, so we just hung around the house a lot.
The last day we were there we got to celebrate Gamma's birthday. It was supposed to be 4 days later on St. Patrick's day, but we just pretended. We went to lunch at a neat place called Tyler's Burgers in downtown Palm Springs. We had to sit outside and we could see birds on the ground and people and dogs walking by. We had a yummy dinner that night that I did not eat and then Gamma opened presents. I was having so much fun and was excited that I got a really bad tummy ache and almost ruined Gamma and Grandpa Q's bed and carpet. I was very sorry, but she didn't mind. She was sad that I didn't feel good.
The next day it was time to go home. I hadn't slept well and I felt pretty icky all day. Mom gave me some medicine when we got on the plane to help me relax so I could feel better. I woke up a little while before we landed and watched my movies and played with Mom and Aunt Kristie. It was a pretty good trip overall and I can't wait until I can see Gamma again. It should be warm and sunny here by then :)

Making My Move....
So I have some news, and it's kind of big. As some of you may know, I have been taking steps lately, but have not really felt like replacing crawling with walking yet. Well, this week I finally made my move! I had been walking around our living room for a while now, but now I can go everywhere. This is so great, I can go anywhere, reach more things and get my hands on more than ever before! Boy, Mom and Dad are going to stay very busy!
In other exciting news, Mom brought me to a bookstore the yesterday for a birthday party. It was ELMO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY! He was turning 4 and I was there to witness it! First there were some storytellers who were pretty fun to watch. I prefer watching and playing with other kids though. All of sudden the storytellers got very excited and out came Elmo! We all got line up and get our picture taken with him. I was kind of tired and ready to go home, so Mom had to be in the picture too. After that they gave us each a birthday cookie, some coloring pages and stickers and off we went. It was a pretty neat day.

Dancing Machine
Mom and Caroline brought me and Caitlin to a show the other day. We walked through a super long hallway and into a HUGE room. There were a whole bunch of chairs and a big stage. Mom let me pick something out from the little store, I picked a soccer ball with Elmo and Ernie and Oscar and everyone on it. I was throwing it around until Mom put it away because I kept throwing it at the lady's head in front of us.
Soon the show began. Loud music and lights! I could hardly contain myself! I had to DANCE! I surprised Mom so much when I started dancing like nobody's business! The music was in my bones! Elmo and Ernie and Bert were all out there singing and dancing. I had to join in the fun. Mom was laughing so hard, and I was have a great time! I got to sit next to Caitlin and she seemed to really like it too.
The show was great, but after a while I started watching all of the other kids that were everywhere around me. Talk about crazy. I thought I loved Elmo the most, but I'm pretty sure some of these kids live and breathe Elmo.
It was a fun night. I love seeing and doing new things. I think Mom was pretty worn out.

GGMa. Revisited
Mom, Aunt Kristie, Gamma and I went to visit Great Grandma Lynn (GGMa) way up north again. We stayed at her house this time and had lots of fun. We left Friday afternoon. We got in the car and it seemed like we drove forever! We got there around dinner time and I was ready to eat. Mom told me that the one thing about going to GGMa's is that we will never go hungry. She was right!
I really enjoyed getting to know GGMa and Aunt Nonnie. They are so nice and seem to think I can do no wrong. They gave me back scratches and laughed at everything I did. Could it be any more fun than that? They also have a dog named Maggie Leigh (Mom is not impressed) that wanted to be with me very where I went. Seriously, everywhere?!? She followed me around and licked my face and tried to get my toys…while I was playing with them. Silly dog. She is not at all like my cat, Cassie.
I slept pretty good the first night when Mom was in the room with me. The second night, not so much. I got a cough and Aunt Kristie was the lucky one bunking with me that night. I kept her up a lot, but I couldn't sleep! She didn't get too mad though, we just hung out in the big bed together a lot.
We had a really nice weekend there and I was sad to leave GGMa, she is so nice. But it was time to get in the stupid car again. I sure love seeing GGMa, but MAN, the ride is SOOOO long. We decided to make an extra stop. We went to visit Maddie, Kari and Ryan. Since they live SO far away, we only get to go there every once in a while.
Since it was Maddie's birthday pretty soon, we brought her presents. We also got to see Great Uncle Jim and Great Aunt Connie. We had lots of fun, I crawled around everywhere. Maddie and her friend played with me lots. Maddie was my favorite and I kept walking a couple of steps over to her and hugging her. That's a pretty big deal, because I don't walk so good yet. She's worth it though. I can tell she loves me a lot. I love her a lot too!
I got pretty tired, so we jumped in the car, again, and headed home. Dad was pretty excited to see me. He missed me a lot. I missed him too, but I had a great weekend!
