Silly Smiles for Your Wednesday

Discovery Science Center

Today Mom and I went to the Discovery Science Center. It's really meant for older kids but I still found some stuff that I liked, like this gravity well to spin ping pong balls in...

And this magnet wall where you could build your own track of pipes to put a ball through.

They also had a toddler area with fun stuff to spin and move, and a computer that lets you fingerpaint. I LOVED that. Mom sees fingerpaints (and big tarps for the floor) in our future.

After I'd mastered the toddler area, I was ready to bolder go where no two year old has gone before: the rocket lab! Here I am pressing the launch button. When it got to zero, the whole thing shook, alarms sounded, and mist came down! I had Mom pick me up, but I still thought it was pretty cool.

Then we went out to the dinosaur exhibit. I love dinosaur skeletons! Maybe I'll be a paleontologist...

Here I am inside and outside the big brontosaurus:

Then the real reason we came: the giant bug exhibit! Here I am with the fighting ants and the huge praying mantis!

Wait! Maybe I'll be an entomologist...

I love science!

BBQ Fun!

We had some friends over for a BBQ on Saturday. Here are Daddy and I being excited before everyone got here:

We had a great time outside, and our swingset got put to good use.

Even Chewy got in on the action. All the kids loved it when Daddy would lift him up to the fort, and then he'd run down the slide.

I made a new friend, Kennedy. She's 2 1/2, and loves the same things I do. Digging...

And eating!

I love being the hostess!

Recording Contract Imminent

Singing and learning the words to different songs is my new thing. Here I am singing the ABC song, which Mom hears about 400 times a day. Why she chose to film me doing it with my mouth full, I'm not sure...

And here I am singing my new favorite song from my music class:

In case you missed it, here are the lyrics:

I had a little froggy, his name was Tiny Tim

I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap

And then he burped last night from a bubble in his throat!

2 new tricks

I've learned to blow bubbles by myself. Now Chewy and I can entertain each other endlessly!

I also count from 1 to 10 in Spanish, but I refuse to do it on camera. Here's my sitter, Bernarda, trying to coax it out of me somewhat successfully:

Hanging Like a Monkey

Isabella took me as her guest to the Little Gym today, and taught me to hang like a monkey! So fun!

Cooling Off in the Pool

It was hot this weekend, so I had some much needed cool-off time in my pool in the backyard. I decided to treat the whale sprinkler as my own personal drinking fountain...

Then played a little fetch with Chewy and my bath toys.

This may have riled Chewy up a bit too much, as he had the following spaz afterwards. The heat must be getting to all of us!
