First Wedding

I went to my first wedding on Saturday for one of Daddy's coworkers. There was so much new stuff to see! Here I am squirming in Dad's arms...

Clapping for the bride and groom...

And using my chopsticks as drumsticks.

The chopsticks were also used in my other favorite activity, which was shoving any utensils I could find in Dad's shirtpocket.

And here I am having my first champagne. Kidding, it's only apple cider, but don't I look fancy? I offered to give a toast, but Dad said no one there really wanted to hear about Chewy being a pooper dog and not a frog. Maybe next time.

Chewy's Birthday

Yesterday was Chewy's 5th birthday. He's now the same age as Mom (in dog years, but still...)

I got to have a cupcake to help Chewy celebrate...

I had a few birthday-related things to say until Mom's camera ran out of memory:

And I got to give Chewy some treats that were finger-licking good!

Happy Birthday, Chewy! You're my best friend!

Ride 'Em Chewy!

Hiking

We went for a family hike near our house this weekend. It was super windy, but still fun!

You can see the wetlands and then the beach in the background of this one, but Dad couldn't because I kept putting my hands over his eyes.

Screaming for Ice Cream

Yesterday Dad bought an ice cream cone. I think at first he thought it was for him. Originally I shared it with him...

But he soon realized it was really all mine.

Yay, ice cream!

At Least Mom's Pantyhose Are Good For Something...

I got Mom's pantyhose out of her sock drawer today, and then laughed maniacally at Chewy as he shredded them. The second video gets a little shaky, but it's worth it for my crazy cackle at the end.

Counting Peas

Dog But Not a Frog

Mom sings lots of stupid songs to me and the dog. My latest phrase of the day is a direct result of me paying close attention to one of these songs. These were the first words I called out from my crib this morning, and I generously repeated them for Mom while eating breakfast, since it's such important information.

Sick Baby

I am quarantined for the weekend. I have a virus a lot like roseola, which gave me a mean fever (which is now gone), and then a lovely red rash. It doesn't really itch, it just looks weird and Mom says it makes me "contagious". However, that doesn't mean she can't tickle me!

I think I'll survive.

So Grown-Up

I may be getting too big to keep lying on Chewy this way, but he doesn't seem to mind too much.

I'm also now big enough to like wearing my sunglasses, but only in 5 minute bursts. Here I am sliding in style.

Donuts = Gross

This weekend I went to my friend, Luke's, birthday party. He had a donut cake. I didn't want to touch the donut, so mom gave me a piece on this plastic knife. As you can see by my face, I still wasn't too thrilled about it. I think I'll stick with cupcakes.

Mother's Day at the Zoo

We went to the Santa Ana Zoo for Mother's Day. Here I am strolling with Nana...

And checking out the exhibits...

I took a picture in the safari cut-out, and Dad got in on the action:

Then I climbed on top of this lizard for a picture...

And Dad got in on that too. Giddyup!

I LOVED the train, and rode it around the petting zoo before we went in.

Here I am checking out the goats. You can hear me saying "Hi goats" at the beginning, and then "wash hands" at the end. Goats don't smell very good.

I also got to ride the Merry-Go-Round. Every time we would pass Daddy I would yell "Daddy, riding cheetah!" I was very proud of myself.

Moms and Mother's Day are pretty fun. Happy Mother's Day, Mama!

Water Baby

I love being in the pool! Here are some pictures of Mom and me having splashing fun...

And video of my swimming and water daredevil skills.

Standard Silliness

Just another normal day in our house; Dad shuttling me around in Chewy's toy basket...

Bursting bubbles with a stick in the backyard...

With Chewy's help, of course.

Just doing my part to make sure our household's goofiness standards are upheld.

New Productive Activities

Here are some of my very productive new activities: Rolling on the ground:

Sweeping:

And beating stuff with sticks:

Including Chewy:

BBQ

I went to a BBQ at my friend, Kara's, house yesterday. She showed me all her fun toys. She's a crack-up...

Then she leaned over to give me kisses while we played with CJ. I feel loved.

The three of us did a little digging in the sand box...

And then moved on to the slides. Here is the aftermath of CJ and I sliding down simultaneously. That's me at the end of the littler slide.

I think this is CJ's way of flirting with me, patting my hair. He's kind of a player though, I saw him doing it to Kara, too.

A fun day with friends for Mom, Dad and me!

Super Saturday

We had a very fun and busy day today. We put in some quality time at the duck park...

I love this park even more because it has a drinking fountain. Another chance for mess-making!

Then we went down to the pier to explore. By this point I only wanted to run around and was in full squirm mode, so Mom gave up taking family portraits after this one.

After that we stopped for dinner so Daddy could drink off the visions of me squirming my way off the pier.

I entertained Mom and Dad during dinner with my new routine of "I know what animal goes ____, a ____". When the video starts, I had just said "I know what animal goes vroom vroom, a car!" and Mom and Dad were giggling about that.

A long, fun day was followed by some much needed snuggle time on the couch.
