So Busy!

Here are some pictures of a busy ten or so minutes that I spent with mommy on Sunday. We had some great play time together.

Mommy says I learned lots of new things just while she was taking these pictures. She is fascinated and amazed by me.

I pull up to a standing position wherever I go. I don't even need a ledge or a table anymore. I just pop right up next to walls. Sometimes I only use one hand!

I've been using my signs too - MORE, BYE-BYE, clapping. It's neat to tell mommy when I want more yogurt or carrots.

I also figured out how to get Dakota's attention - feed him some of my dinner! He likes everything.

We're having a busy week, because on Saturday, mommy and I leave for Indianapolis again. But this time, we're going to stay for a whole month with daddy. That will be really nice - together as a family again.

There's lots to do to get ready! I, of course, am a big help.

Zoo

When we were in Indianapolis, we also went to the zoo. That was fun! It was a beautiful day, and I liked all of the animals. We saw a dolphin show and then we walked around the plains.

We saw giraffes, rhinos, baboons, elephants, kangaroos, and ostriches.

I had a few cheerios along the way!

The last thing we did was go into the marine building. They have seals, sea lions, sea horses, and penguins!! That was really neat.

Daddy held me up to the glass of all of the exhibits and I got a really good look. The penguins were really funny. I got to bring a stuffed penguin home as a souvenir.

The seals made me giggle. They kept swimming right past me. I got a good look!

I like the zoo! I'm looking forward to going back and visiting those animals again.

Easter in Indianapolis

This is me and daddy at the park! We had a great time in Indianapolis for the Easter weekend. It was fun to see daddy! And we also spent time with my cousins and aunt and uncle. A nice Easter tradition.



Here I am with my Aunt Kathy. She was tickling me and it really made me giggle!


This is the first time I have ever sat on the grass outside. Weird! I pulled my legs in the air and balanced on my bottom at first to avoid the prickly feeling.

But then I got used to it and decided to enjoy a little nature by eating some grass and a pinecone.








On Friday night, there was a big hail storm. Wow!!

Mouse and Papa Jon were very excited about it.

Ahhhhh.....spring

Spring is here!! We're all happy, and we've been spending lots of time outside. The daffodils are blooming, the grass is (a little) green, the sun is out, and so are lots of people. I like it! Everyone is so happy, and I love being outside. I'm looking forward to lots more pretty days.

We had a good weekend. Mouse was still here. Mommy worked on Friday night, but we had the rest of the weekend together. Lots of walks and playing! We went to the park, and I got to play on the swing. I think that's a lot of fun.

Mommy worked again last night, and then Mouse went back to Indianapolis this morning. Mommy is completely done with call at the hospital for April and May!! No more nights away from home (and me!!) until June. Yay!!

This is a short week. On Thursday evening, mommy, dakota, and I will drive to Indianapolis for a long weekend. We're going to see daddy! I can't wait!

Teeth!

Yesterday, mommy went to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned. It was a tooth kinda day, so we practiced brushing my teeth. I love my Winnie the Pooh tooth brush!

I'm getting really good at brushing all six of my teeth.

Mouse is here to help take care of me when mommy is on call. She got here on Saturday, and then mommy had to be at the hospital on Sunday. It was fun to spend time with Mouse. Mommy got to come home and feed me and put me to bed though. I liked that!

Yesterday, the three of us spent the day together. Dakota and Mouse's dog, Blue, were here too. It was a bit crowded when all four of them were gathered around my high chair during dinner! I'm so fun, though, that everyone wants to be near me. (Also I drop lots of yummy food!)

On Sunday, mommy thinks I made my first sign. I was eating cheerios (one of my favorites), and mommy asked (and signed) if I wanted more. I looked at her and I looked at the box, and I signed right back. More, More, More! I got more!! It's neat how that works.

Sometimes that tooth brushing really gets you!

Here I am playing with mommy on the floor. We were rolling around and giggling.

Then I decided to head out for some more fun.

Off I go to the stairs!
