Playground

Today after work, mommy and daddy took me to the playground! I had so much fun! I want one in my backyard!

I love shoes...

just like my mommy!

Mohawk!

Daddy likes to give me a mohawk during bathtime!

Cute Shirt

and a cute me...

Boat Show

Today, we met Aunt Chris and Uncle Larry at the boat show. It was HOT but mommy did get a picture of me (and daddy) in front of Miss Geico (the boat).

Reading the Saturday Paper

Mommy, can't you see I'm busy!

Just me being cute...

Stacking Cups

For those of you who don't know, I LOVE to stack cups. Okay, I'll stack anything. Mommy and daddy have these GREAT plastic cups that are colorful and I love to play with them. Here you'll see me stacking them; I was able to go 10 cups high. WOW!

15 Month Appointment

Today I had my 15 month appointment. I wasn't very happy since I had to get TWO shots; one in each arm! My stats are 22.7 lbs and 31 inches long. As you can tell, I'm still a petite little girl.

As always, mommy documented the event.






In case you didn't know, we have this ritual that we have Mexican food after my appointments. Mommy took some pictures with her phone.

After dinner, we strolled around a local store. I particularly liked riding on the bicycle...

and the tricycle.

Reading

I love to read books. This morning, mommy caught me reading a book on the stairs. Like my outfit? My cousin, Cayleb, made this for me!

Leg Surgery

This afternoon I had surgery on my left leg (similar to what I had done on my right leg). Things seemed to go well and I have a follow-up appointment next week. I did take before pictures (not nearly as bad as the right leg) and will take some after pictures tomorrow when I'm able to take a shower and can remove this BEAUTIFUL white compression hose. NOT!!

I'm a monkey...

and I love to climb on anything. Yes, this is me climbing over the BACK of the couch.

Hanging out!

If you haven't noticed, I love to have my picture taken. Mommy snapped these pictures of me this morning.

You're 15 Months Old Today!

Wow! We can't believe that you're already 15 months old. Happy birthday! We love you!

MORE INFORMATION regarding milestones tonight (with daddy's help). :-)

Happy Birthday, Kennedy!

Today, we helped Kennedy celebrate her 1st birthday! Bad weather won't keep us away!

Handel's Icecream

After shopping and lunch, we stopped at Handel's for some chocolate ice cream. Here's me drinking daddy's chocolate milk shake; yummy!!

Dressed for Shopping

Today, we went shopping. I needed to get my dress for my Uncle Wormy's wedding (okay, that's not his real name). Mommy took a couple of pictures of me before we left.

Nick Names

Before I was born, a group of daddy's friends came up with some nicknames for me.

Mt. Dew
Dewdrop
Hot ROD
Lego Maniac
Prez
Decimal
"Nancy"
Baby Hewey
The "Poop"
Mini-Dad

Oh my! What have I done?

Yes, this is 3 cups of rice on the floor! I like to play in the pantry while mommy and daddy are in the kitchen. Tonight, I took the rice and "accidentally" dumped it on the floor.

Daddy's Wallet

For some reason, I love to play with daddy's wallet. I like to take all the items out of the pockets and try to put them back in. This particular time, I really enjoyed playing with the money. Another pair of shoes, perhaps?

Popsicle, yummy!

I love popsicles and here's a few pictures of me enjoying one on a hot afternoon.

Trip to the Zoo

Today, I went to the zoo with my daddy and grandpa (mommy was at the movies with Auntie Anne, Aunt Chris, and Aunt Chandy).

Here are some pictures of our adventure.

See any resemblance?

Pit Stop on the Way Home

For those of you who have kids, you know that traveling with kid (s) is much different. No more "we're only stopping to get gas and go to the bathroom and they better be done at the same time." Mommy and daddy stopped at McDonalds (it had a playpark) on the way home. They thought I should run around and tire myself out before the remainder of the trip.

This was my first meeting of Ronald and I wasn't sure what to make of him.

Dulles Town Center

Tonight, we headed to the Dulles Town Center. Mommy heard they had an Ann Taylor Loft. :-) We wanted to get out of the hotel so what better place to do it than a really big mall that we hadn't been to before.

As you can see in the pictures, I prefer the big people chair over the highchair. However, this one had a huge space in the back. So, I thought it'd be cool to get out of the chair using this big hole.

While waiting for daddy to put the stroller in the trunk, which is a huge task, I hung out in the front seat pushing and pulling all of the buttons and knobs.

Dinner with Mommy's Friends

Tonight we had dinner with mommy's friend, Tiffany. They used to work together but now Ms. Tiffany and Mr. Scott live in MD. Dinner was delicious and we enjoyed seeing your new home. I loved playing with Dixie!! Thanks for having us as your first dinner guests.
