Two Little Monkeys...

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed....

No one fell off or bumped their head, but I did get tickled for a very long time.

Sunday Playtime

We had fun playing in my house this weekend. Daddy and Chewy even got in on it:

All this playtime tuckered Chewy out...

And I slept soundly in my super-relaxed position.

Spoon Feeding?

Today I insisted that Mom let me feed myself my dinner of mashed potatoes and gravy. There were carrots, too, but I buried most of them beneath the bits of chicken. Things got a wee bit messy...

And I don't think I quite got the whole "spoon feeding" concept. I ended up eating most of it with my hands.

Here's a little live action shot, so you get the idea of how good I am at using my spoon.

I did, however, have no problem finishing off this tub of watermelon with my hands...

And then my tongue. Yum!

Feeding Chewy

I'm tired of everyone always feeding me. I want to feed someone else for a change! Thanks for your help, Chewy!

Miles & Me

Miles came up to play with me today. This is the only picture our moms could get of us together because we are now both lightning fast!

Mommy and I both love when Miles and Auntie Kristine come to visit!

But I won't lie, he's a lot to keep up with, and I was pretty tired by the end of the day. No more pictures, please, Mom.

Grandma's Visit

Grandma came for a visit this week to see how much bigger I've gotten. We even color coordinated her first day here. Great minds think alike!

We had a great time together, and went to the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific to show off my fish-face making skills.

Grandma told me what some of the fish were...

And hugged me tight when some of them creeped me out.

Thanks, Grandma!

I Love you!

Watching Chewy Hunt

We actually took these videos a few weeks ago, but didn't get them posted until now. This is me watching Chewy hunt for his food as Daddy throws it. That crazy puppy cracks me up!

Oktoberfest!

Yesterday Nana and Uncle Stuart came down to go to my first Oktoberfest with us.

Here's me getting in the spirit...

And watching the weiner dog races with Nana. Those dogs can run!

I learned to polka with Daddy, though I'm not sure he knew how either.

Before the chicken dance, I got to meet a real chicken!

Then the whole time during the chicken dance, I was making the "bawk bawk" chicken sound, hoping he'd come back. You can see me doing it in this picture.

Then I did a little dancing on my own.

Yay, Oktoberfest!

Isabella's Birthday

Here I am getting ready for my friend Isabella's first birthday party:

Daddy had to stay and wait for the plumber (our washing machine broke). I didn't want to go without him...

But once I got there, there was much fun to be had. Here's me violently shaking the Elmo balloon. I may love Elmo a little too much...

They even had a bounce house! Here are Mommy and me playing inside:

Then we did some crazy bouncing, which made me giggle

And I was all tuckered out. Being a party baby is a lot of work!

Punk Rock Girl

Here I am rocking my new punk rock ponytail:

No autographs, please!

Naked Reading Time

It was pretty hot today, so I decided to combine my naked and reading time together.

I chose my favorite book, Pat the Bunny...

Here's the face I make when I smell the flowers in it:

The hotter it got, the sillier I got...

I love reading! And I love using my fangs on my books, too!

Cousin Amy

I got to hang out with my cousin Amy today. She's funny, and she's going to have a little baby for me to play with very soon!

Baby Footprints

The day started with me trying to bring Daddy his Homer Simpson slippers. Chewy kept intercepting.

Then I got to dump water out of my pails outside. Mom and Dad thought my foot prints were cute so they kept trying to take pictures while I kept trying to escape.

Afterwards I relaxed on the couch with Daddy for some much needed snuggle time. A good day.

Bath Time and Silliness

I went down to San Diego to play with Kara this weekend. We played out back in the little pool (I did an enormous amount of splashing), and then had some bath time. Kara's bath toys are more fun to eat than mine.
