First Trip to the Zoo

Daddy and Mommy took me to the zoo last Sunday. Nana and Papa came too. Watch out Daddy! There's a big Polar Bear behind you!

Mommy carried me around the zoo. We saw a tiger, monkeys, wolves, sea otters, a reindeer, tapirs, a lot of sea creatures, and many more.

There were 2 big walruses. They are such great swimmers despite their size. They kept swimming by the observation area to say hi to me.

There were so many fun animals to look at and learn about. I had to take a quick nap to rest and recover from all of the excitement.

Do you see the elephant behind us? They are so big!

This is one of my favorites. This shark looks like it was resting while his friends were swimming around.

Happy 10 month B-Day

I am 10 months old now! We saw the doctor for a check up and he says I'm a bit underweight. Mommy promised the doctor to start feeding me more solids. So to celebrate my birthday, Mommy decided to introduce something sweet for desert...Apple baby food. She thought I would like it but......

Oh boy it was tart! Mommy tried some and said it was sweet but not to me. Maybe I'll develop a taste for it after a few more tries. Why can't I just have cake?

My new food for the week is carrot. It's not too bad. At least it's not spinach, yuk. I prefer Mommy's liquid gold please.

Help! Daddy come rescue me! Someone distract Mommy so I can spit this out and wipe it on my tray.

I love to try to feed myself. I have pretty good aim and most of the food will get in my mouth. Sometimes it falls onto my shirt or tray. And if I am being silly, it gets in my hair in ears. Thank goodness for bibs and wet wipes.

Happy 4th

Papa, Nana, Daddy, Mommy, Nike, and I took a small trip to Hoodsport Washington for 4th of July weekend.

We towed the family boat so Papa and Daddy could fish in Lake Cushman while us girls were shopping. Daddy and Papa are making sure everything is hooked up right so we don't lose the boat on the highway.

This is the view from the balcony of our room. We are looking at the Hood Canal. Across the water is a town named Union. People in that town were setting off fireworks at night and it was really cool to see from our room.

This is my Great-Great Aunt Mary. She and my Great-Great Uncle Lloyd drove to Hoodsport to see us. I don't get to see them often enough so I'm glad they came.

I'm glad we had a fun weekend. Us girls explored some local shops and I even had time to play with my toys and got to see lots of people. We also went to a small street fair and listened to a local rock band.

Having fun in the sun

It was so hot today. Daddy decided to let me play in my kiddie pool to stay cool because it was so uncomfortable inside our house.

I had a great time splashing and playing with my toys. I wish I could play in the water all the time. Maybe Daddy will joing me next time.

My puppies played in the yard and watched me splash. Nike, the lab, wanted to play in the pool too but Daddy said he was too big.

Isn't he a handsome puppy? This is a great picture of Nike. It was a miracle he stayed long enough to pose for a picture.

You can't really tell in this picture, but I got Mommy wet. Hehehe.

Catching up...

Mommy's been super busy so she hasn't updated my blog in awhile. I'm still eating cereal and trying different veggies. So far I've tried butternut squash, sweet potato, and spinich. My favorite so far is sweet potato. When do I get the good stuff?

I got to celebrate Father's Day with my Grandpa. Daddy was out of town so Mommy and I got to spend all weekend with Grandpa and Grandma.

Auntie Amanda's 21st birthday was last Sunday. Happy Birthday Auntie! Mommy and Daddy took her out on her 21 run last night. I wonder why Auntie would want to run for her birthday...but whatever they did, it sounded like they had a great time.

More cake! I think this is the 4th cake in the last 2 months. Why can't I have any yet? This is torture! I hope they let me have some cake when it's my birthday.

Happy 9 Month B-day!

I turned 9 months old yesterday. Mommy and Daddy tells me time flies. I wonder what that means. They also told me they are proud of me and wished I could stay a baby longer. Don't worry...I'll always be cute and sassy.

Jordan is so patient with me. She lets me chew on her big, floppy ears. Not only are they big and easy to grab, they are super soft. The big white blob at the bottom left corner of the picture is my other dog Nike. He's still a puppy so he doesn't have the attention span to model for pictures like us girls.

Did I already tell you how much I love her ears! Jordan is getting me back by licking my toes. It sure tickles.

Happy B-Day Daddy!

Daddy's birthday was on the 6th but we celebrated on the 7th with family and some of our closest friends. Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you!

Grandma Chau and cousin Patrick.

Daddy's cake looked so yummy. Hurry and open the presents so we can have some cake! Nana also made her famous cinnamon rolls for desert.
