My Big Botty

I Love My Mimi

Here is Mimi and Big Sis and me looking at a book by artist Walton Ford. Big Sis wasn't as interested as I was because she's not going to be an artist like I am. Thanks for showing me that great book Mimi, and I can't wait to spend more quality time with you. For now I'm just carrying around a pocket sized picture of you (truly).

Don't Mess With My Edamame

I am a girl with a very particular palette. The only vegetables I eat are corn, bell peppers, and edamame. If they are on my plate, they're MINE. Don't even think of touching them.

Halloween is Brilliant

Free candy? This is a holiday I can get into.

Carving a Jack-O-Lantern

I'm just like my gramps, I hate getting dirty and I dislike messes. Therefore I refuse to stick my hand in the pumpkin to pick out sticky seeds. NO WAY I say. That is just not my thing. I'll watch, but I refuse to help, thank you very much. Thank goodness for dad. He's immune to doing the yucky stuff.

Picking out Pumpkins

Pretending to be a Block

It's official. My sister is going to have to rename her blog. I'm totally the cutest girl in the whole world.

Big Hands

In Maine there are many artist studios that dot the roads and of course mommy wanted to stop in them all. This guy's studio was really neat because it had metal hands everywhere and everyone was able to draw their own self-portraits. I just rocked and watched.

Collecting Mussels

My first full day in Maine and I'm already collecting mussels. Henry and I found a whole bucket of them.

Out at the Ranch

I went with Mimi, Mommy, and Big Sis to a minature horse ranch. I didn't ride the horses, because even though they're minature, they're a heck of a lot bigger than me. I didn't want any part of it. I did like watching Big Sis take a ride. I also liked looking at the horses. I did take a ride on the minature truck, and I liked when it went really fast.

My New Ride

I visited my aunt at the Circus Club and I was able to ride the horses! And swim in the kiddie pool! And swing on the swings! YAY!

Little Miss Sunshine in Training

This girl can dance!

A Walk Down Columbus

I just keep getting cuter (and blonder), don't I? Mom bought me the same kicks as my big sister, so now we're twins. I can put on my socks and shoes all by myself, which is pretty impressive considering I'm only one and a half. I have to if I want to keep up with BS. Soon she'll have to keep up with me. I can already use a fork better than she can.

My Silly Sister

I love my Big Sister SOOO much and she thinks I'm "SOOO Cute". We draw together, eat together, play together, hide under the bed together, jump on the bed together, and get in trouble together. We even fight over clothes together. Big Sis notices that I wear a lot of her old clothing, and she doesn't always like it. She even tries to wear some of them. They don't always fit, but she doesn't care. I think it's funny. Our's is a match made in heaven.

Shaker Village

I haven't been posting recently because I've been too busy walking around. My family when up to the Berkshires for Memorial Day weekend and we had a great time in the big outdoors. I'm not thrilled of walking on grass, but other than that, I really liked being outside.

Easter Angel

The Easter Bunny came and visited us and brought me a basket of candy! Yum! I have peeps and chocolate all over my dress, but luckily you can't see it in this picture. Here I look like an angel. Happy Easter!

Havoc in a Highchair

This is me and that is my yogurt. Yes, everywhere. On the floors, the walls, my face, and the high chair. Someone should put an alert out. I've been slimed.

Chillin in a Chair

Just call me Goldilocks- I love chairs! Big and tall, soft and small, I will sit in them all. Or at least try them out. I don't like to sit in my high chair, I much prefer my sister's booster seat. And better yet, just a regular chair my size. I like to climb on and off chairs when I'm not sitting on them. It gets me into trouble because I'm small and I fall off. Poor me.

Singing my ABCs

I love to sing. My two favorite songs are the ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Sliding is my THING

I absolutely detest swinging. It makes me shake. But, put me at the top of a slide, any slide, and I'm ready to go. I love to slide. It is so much fun. I make mom pick me up over and over as I do laps on the slide. She actually wants me to climb up the stairs to the slide. How ridiculous is that? It wastes so much sliding time.

I like to Climb

Since I've started walking, I've also started climbing. I like to stand in my high chair, I like to stand on the couch, and I like to stand on my sister's bed. Once I'm standing, I usually like to jump (if I know it's going to be a semi-safe landing). I haven't gotten too maimed yet, but I'm working on it. My sense of fear is receding, and my sister is teaching me the art of being a daredevil (she climbs on top of her 4 foot kitchenette all the time when she isn't scaling the shelves of the bookcase).

Heinz Rocks!

My dad is a big Heinz fan and so am I. He loves Pittsburgh, so I love Pittsburgh. We also love the Steelers. This picture was taken a week before the Super Bowl and we were both gearing up by eating a little Heinz. It's over now, and the Steelers won (of course). It has been a great year so far.

My Reading Chair

I love to sit and enjoy a good book. Here I am in the green chair at Mimi's house. When I am not reading in it, I am usually standing and acting like a wild child in it. I don't really like to practice standing on the floor, I prefer to do it while in high places, like on my high-chair, on mommy's bed, on the couch. Once I'm standing I like to see how good my balance is by shaking and dancing. I haven't fallen yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Me and Lulu

Lulu is the first dog I've ever really been able to spend time with and I love her so much! I love to crawl around and play with her and many times you can catch me sneaking her hugs and kisses. Lulu is the best.
