Reunited!

I had a grand old time with my grandparents (Poppy & Grams), Aunt Courtney, Uncle Nathan & great-grandparents Grandma & Grandpa Presley-- slept all night every night, played hard, went potty like a big girl, ate all my food (and a LOT of it!) and didn't cry once for mom & dad... but I sure was happy when they told me "We're getting Mommy & Daddy tonight!"  I put down my fork and wanted to get my shoes on to go that very second.  When I saw Mommy, I could hardly believe it!  And Daddy.  (And Nina.  And GB.  And Tia Anna.)  I just kept saying Mommy & Daddy's names and my own the whole ride back from the airport, just because I could hardly believe we were all together again.

Happy Fourth!

Mom & Dad took me to an "Old Fashioned Fourth" at the Peterson-Dumesil house again.  I LOVED the inflatable slide (Daddy took me down), the watermelon, and some yummy roasted almonds.  Mommy even let me have some lemon ice cream!  It was nice and hot, like July the Fourth should be!

DONE with the carseat!

Glasses

I found these at my friends' house, and wore them all day.  Mom says she thinks I'll look cute in glasses some day.

Water Baby

Mom's been taking me to get wet almost every day-- at the zoo, at the waterfront, in our back yard, in friends' yards, and the park!  See more water pics here.

Signing Up

Thanks G-grands Presley for the pretty new dress!

Berries!

Mommy took me and some other friends to a farm to pick strawberries!  I had a yummy lunch of cheese and fruit and ate as many strawberries as I could pick!  Mom says she's making jam & pies, and she is freezing lots-- I just hope she leaves me some to eat now!
PS- in the picture you can see my newest favorite thing:  a necklace!  I once woke up crying for it in the night, and I just don't understand why being a 'strangulation hazard' means I can't sleep with one.  At least I get to pick one out first thing every morning.

Earrings

I LOVE holding Grandma Joanna's earrings (or, as I call her, "Doh").  They are so pretty.  I am very careful with them and I just hold them, admire them, show them to everyone, and then give them back.
