Laid Back Saturday

I think I woke Mom up this morning before she was ready. After she came and got me, we stayed in her bed and watched Sesame Street. Then I played while she worked on cakes. In between the two cakes she had to make, I needed a snack. I had a snack and then I took a nap while Mom did the second cake.

After my nap, Mom and I both got clean and dressed. Then we went to the place called WalMart.

I don't usually enjoy the place called WalMart, but today I got an Elmo remote control, so it was better. Mom said she was tired of me taking her remote and pushing all the buttons and messing with the tv. Whatever. I got a new toy! Hahahaha!!! I had a yummy lunch (apples and chicken and Hawaiian delight spoonable smoothie) and I took another nap. After my nap, I played and played. I went over to my toy box to play with all of the stuff up there.

I played with my zoo for a little while. Then I decided that everything that was on top of the toy box needed to be on the floor. I systematically removed everything from the top of the toy box and placed it on the floor. :)

It was a pretty good day. Just a lazy Saturday. I like staying at home and playing with Mom. :)

(I bet Mom is not going to have too much fun picking up all of my toys tonight!!)

Princesses and Tea

This morning, very early, I heard Mom rustling around. I tried to ignore her. Soon, she came in to get me. She was completely dressed and had dry hair and everything. Weird. She said it was time for me to come watch the wedding and get dressed. Oh right, that royal wedding thing. This is what I've learned about that:

Today, in the country called England, in a building called Westminster Abbey, a pretty lady named Catherine (or Kate) married a handsome young man named William. It just so happens that William is a prince. A real, live, gonna-be-a-king-someday prince. Mom says that she (along with a LOT of other people in America and around the world) were very interested in this wedding. She says that even though they are not from our country, the royal family of England is very interesting to us. Mom says that this wedding was particularly interesting because of William's mom. William's mom was a very beautiful princess named Diana and people all over the world loved her. Very tragically, the beautiful princess was in a car that got smashed and she was hurt very badly and died. Many people all over the world were sad. Anyway, her little boy got married today and it was a very big event. All of the people were wearing fancy clothes and the ladies were wearing fun hats!

I got to see the Catherine and William get married while I was getting ready for my day. I wore a fancy dress to celebrate the wedding. (Mom was extra bummed to have to leave for work because she missed some of the wedding stuff.)

We watched even more of the wedding and the other festivities at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. Then we had a tea party!! (Mom says that having tea is a very English thing to do.) I even wore my "fairytale princess" bib!

I tried to get my pinky up, but it was a little tricky.

Brenna was better at it! :)

It was a great day. Mom came and picked me up and brought me home. I took a nap and then I played. Mom talked to me some more about the royal wedding. First of all, she said that we don't have princes in America. Secondly, she said that there aren't very many princes in the whole world. She said that she was just telling me those things to remind me that most little girls don't grow up to be for real, gonna-be-a-queen-one-day princesses.

Then she said I would always be her princess. :)

No Big Deal

Well, the bad storms didn't carry us away last night. Mom was seriously upset about them coming. We slept downstairs. It was stormy, but it didn't tear anything up. Mom say we were lucky. She says that all across the Southern states, many people lost their homes, their cars, and even their loved ones in the storms. This is very sad.

When so many people are sad, I am lucky to have had such a good day! I had a good day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's and then I went to Grandmom and Granddad's. I stayed with them for a while because Mom was doing a lot of cake stuff. Then they brought me home!

I was glad to see Mom and Sadie. I played and watched the Backyardigans. (I watched my new Mission to Mars DVD!) Then I took a bath and had dinner. Now I'm ready for bed!

I have to get lots of rest tonight! I have a royal wedding to see tomorrow! I am excited for our royal tea!! (I don't know what any of it means, really, but I'll let you know tomorrow night!)

Hunkered Down

Hump day. I'm ready for my weekend!

I had a pretty good day today. I went to Mrs. Leigh Ann's and then to Grandmom and Granddad's. I waited for Mom to get out of little work. She finally came and she ate dinner with Grandmom, Granddad, Aunt Mere, Colin, and Brenna while I played. Then we came home and I had dinner.

Mom says there may be bad storms tonight. She said that we are going to sleep downstairs in case those bad storms come. I hope they go somewhere else.

I'm not sure that I like storms...

Shorts!

Hey, check out my shorts! Mom says that's what these pants are called. She says that when it gets really warm, lots of people wear shorts instead of pants because they're cooler. It's been really warm lately.

Grandmom came to get me this morning. I spent the day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. After school, I hung out at Grandmom and Granddad's while I waited for Mom to finish her long day at big work.

I was glad to see her when she finally came! She ate dinner (and shared her cake with me!!) and then we came home. I played for a little bit, took a bath, ate dinner, and now I'm ready for bed. It was a pretty normal day.

I hope everyone else had a pretty normal day, too!

Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho...Back to Work We Go

Well, phooey. Mom wasn't kidding. We really did have to go back to work today.

I was not the least bit impressed with Mom woke me up this morning. I liked sleeping in!!

Unfortunately, I had to get up and get ready for my day. Grandmom came and took me to Mrs. Leigh Ann's. I had a pretty good day. Mom had little work (only 3 more times now!), so I stayed with Grandmom and Granddad until she was through and could come get me. After Mom came and had dinner, we came home. I was SO tired that I fell asleep in the car. Mom woke me up for dinner and now I'm going back to sleep.

Getting back into routine can really wear a girl out!!

The Day Called Easter

Well, when I woke up this morning, it was the day called Easter! Mom took me downstairs and I immediately noticed that the Easter Bunny had come in the night!!

The EB brought a laptop, a book, some puffs, some peeps (they might be for Mom), and an Elmo! I was very excited about Elmo!

The EB is great!!! Woo hoo!!

After I checked out my new stuff and had some breakfast, I got ready for church. We had to go celebrate Jesus because He was dead, but now He's not. Some bad people killed Him, but He got up out of the grave. I didn't understand all that I heard about at church this morning, but Mom said it was okay because I could learn about it when I was older. She just said that it was important that I know that Easter is about Jesus, not the Easter Bunny. She also said it's okay to like the Easter Bunny, too.

After church, we went to Grandmother and Granddaddy's with Grandmom and Granddad. Aunt Mere, Uncle Corey, Colin, Brenna, Granny Kat, Uncle Hoppy, Katie, and Bobby were there too! We went for a walk to Grandmother and Granddaddy's church to take some pictures. I posed with Mom.

Then we took some big group pictures!

When we got back to the house, I got to ride on the swing with Colin and Brenna. That was pretty fun.

After the swing, we went back inside. Aunt Mere and the gang had gotten me an Easter present. It was a Backyardigans DVD! I was so excited!! They got a Sesame Street book for me, too!

After I got my presents, I had lunch. Mom said that because it was a special day, I got to have a special lunch. Today, I ate something called "turkey". Mom said it is a "meat", not a "fruit or a "vegetable". I wasn't sure about it. It felt funny in my mouth. I also had green beans and pudding. :)

After lunch, I watched the solid food eaters eat their lunch. Mom gave me a bite of her roll and a little bit of her cake. Yum! After their lunch, I played for a little while and then I took a long nap.

When I woke up, I had a snack and then I played some more. I played with Grandmother Auten. :) I like it when I get to play with her!

After a little bit of playing, we had to come home. I played for a little while Mom did a few things around the house to get ready for tomorrow. Then Mom made sure she had a good picture of me in my Easter Casual outfit. That's what she called it.

Now I've had dinner and I'm getting ready to head to bed. Unfortunately, Mom says that the thing called Spring Break is over and she has to go back to big AND little work tomorrow. But she says there is good news, too. She says that little work will be over for the summer next week and she only has to go to big work 29 more times before the summer. That sounds ok...

We had a great Spring Break and a wonderful day called Easter!!

Eggs For The Rabbit

Saturday. Usually I get excited about it, but this has been a great week without Saturday!

Mom and I woke up this morning and had breakfast and played. I took a long nap. I was tired from not taking much of a nap yesterday. I had lunch and a bath and played some more. Then I took another nap. While I took that nap, Mom made a bow for me that looks like a bunny! After my nap, Mom said we were going to dye Easter eggs. I didn't really know what that meant, but okay!

Mom put me in my Bumbo on the table and brought these cups in and put them on the table with me. They smelled horrible!

She said that was the vinegar in the dye. Anyway, she helped me put eggs into the cups and then we waited. I had a snack while we waited. At last, the first egg was ready. EW! Orange?!?! I was curious as to why we had an orange egg and why the first one had to be orange. Mom said it was because we took it out quickly before it got to be TOO orange. I wasn't impressed.

I liked the eggs better once there were more colors.

There are all my eggs. One has my name on it. One says "Mommy" for Mom. They're very colorful.

Mom said we dyed the eggs for the Easter Bunny. She said that the Easter Bunny will come while I am night night and he might leave me a present. She said I had to put out my Easter Basket for him to find. So I did.

I like my Easter basket and my pretty colored eggs. I hope the Easter Bunny likes it too!

Tomorrow is the day called Easter! I can't wait to see what kind of day it will be!!

Good Morning!

I don't know what's going on with my blog lately, but it needs to chill out. It was being grumpy with me again last night. Silly blog!

Anyway, yesterday was a weird day. First of all, it was rainy and cold. Not my kind of weather. What happened to the sunny and warm weather?!?

I slept in until almost 9:00. After breakfast, Mom and I had to go run an errand in the rain. Yuck. We had to go to Michael's to get a cake box. I was not impressed. It was cold and I got wet. When we got back, it was time for me to take a nap. I had a bottle and went to sleep. Mom thought she would be able to get her cake decorated while I was sleeping. Not!! I tricked her and woke up about 15 minutes later. I was a good girl, though, and played in my big toy while she finished.

My big toy is hilarious. I love the lion. Sometimes Mom makes him talk and it is SO funny!!

Grandmom came by to see us for just a minute. I was glad to see her. She left pretty fast. I went back to playing. I played and played. Mom interrupted my play for lunch. That was ok. I like lunch. Then it was back to playing!

I did this. Mom told me not to. She says it makes me look too big...

After a little while, I was super tired, so I went to sleep. Oddly enough, after just about 15 minutes, I woke up! My dog barked. Usually I ignore her, but this time she woke me up. Back to playing!!

I did this standing up thing some more. Mom said I should really stop it....

Grandmom came back later on. That was exciting! Twice in one day!! I played and played with Mom. Mom said I really should have taken a better nap, but I didn't want to. I got hungry and had dinner. After dinner, Mr. Glenn came by to bring me a movie. Mom said I could watch it later but it was time for bed. I did not want to sleep. I wanted to play!! So I played some more. Mom called me a "wild woman". I watched the Gamecocks beat Mississippi State on the baseball field. I tried to blog, but it wouldn't work. I finally gave up for the day at around 10:30. I was exhausted!!!

Lazy Day

(Blog is fixed. Mom helped me this morning (Friday).)

My blog is misbehaving. It won't let me upload my pictures from today. It's getting to be time for bed and it's still not working. So I'll just tell you about my day. Maybe Mom will help me with my pictures in the morning.

Mom and I had a lazy day today. This morning we played. Then I took a nap. A really long nap. While I took a nap, Mom cleaned out her closet. When I woke up, Mom and I went for a walk outside. It was nice. After that, I had lunch and we played some more. Then I took another nap. And then we played. Then I had dinner. Now I'm ready for bed. Definitely not an exciting day, but it was nice to hang out with Mom! I'm so glad we've gotten to share this thing called Spring Break together!

Before my blog lost its mind, I was able to upload some more pictures from my Spring shoot. Here ya go...

I hope I can add my funny face pictures from today sometime tomorrow!

(And here they are!)

Number Three

It's been another lovely day of Spring Break!!

Mom and I played this morning. We went to WalMart to get eggs for a cake and for the day called Easter. When we came home, I took a nap. After my nap, mom and I went to Glencairn Garden to meet Mrs. Erin because my pictures were ready!! (See end of post) When we got back, I had lunch and played.

I played and played and then I took a nap. After my nap, I was hungry, but I was very busy watching the Backyardigans. Since I was busy, I ate in my chair. :)

Mom and I played for the rest of the afternoon. While we were playing, Mom discovered that I have a tooth on the top now! Number Three! She said I was such a sweet baby for not being fussy when it was stabbing its way through my gums. After this discovery, I watched the Backyardigans and Baby Einstein. It was teaching me all about the instruments of the orchestra. While I was learning, Grandmom and Granddad came by to see me. I played with them for a few minutes and then it was time for dinner. Now that I've had my dinner, I'm ready for bed. A day full of playing will wear you out!!

Here are a couple of the pictures Mrs. Erin made of me. I'll post more later on.

Cheese!!!
