Fun in the Sun!

We had a full weekend of gorgeous weather so we did lots of fun things outside! We went to the beach, went for a hike, visited a new park and played in the backyard. It was a great time!

Trying to bury myself


I sure hope you guys brought a towel!


Attempting to "rock climb" at the park


This sprinkler is fun!


But I prefer splashing in the pool!

This last week I visited Wiggle Worms for the first time (a "gymnastics" class for toddlers) where they have all sorts of fun things to climb and bounce on. Ever since I've been trying to figure out how to jump.


Learning to jump - I practice this a LOT!

I'm a Big Kid Now!

I'm such a big girl now! I'm learning some new words and body parts, helping with chores around the house and Mommy and Daddy even bought me my very own chair! I love jumping up on it and back down again!


Ball! Its my new favorite toy and word!


Learning to color...it sure is tricky keeping the pen on the paper!




Lounging in my new big girl chair


Earning my keep :)

Its Music Time!

This week I've learned how to play my harmonica!

Isn't it Spring?

Somebody told me Spring started in March....but based on our weather lately I'm not so sure. We got nearly 7 inches of snow so I think it may be Winter still. But last weekend it was almost 80 degrees which made me think it was Summer. These seasons sure are confusing!

Last Weekend

With the nice weather we did some yard work - I had fun helping Daddy with the wheelbarrow!


Then I helped him pick weeds


We then went to a park to enjoy the sunshine


It was a great time!


After the park we enjoyed our backyard for a while


Ahhhh....what a fun day! I miss the sun!

Par-Tay!

What a day! Today all of my friends came over to help me celebrate my first birthday. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone, opening gifts and trying cake for the first time. Man that stuff is tasty! Thank you again to everyone who came and generously donated to my toy, book and outfit collections! :)

First Aquarium Trip!

Today I took my first trip to the Seattle Aquarium with my friends Regen, Claire, Abi and Colby...our mommies came along too :) It was lots of fun checking out the different fish and sea life!


Peek a boo!

To begin with Claire and I just watched from our strollers...


But then we decided we'd check things out up close


Hey Claire - how cool is this?
