Pelican Lake

May brought several trips to Pelican Lake. We have already spent numerous of hours on the pontoon, lots of time on the beach and playing in the yard! I really enjoy spending time with my cousins!

My newest cousin, Harper, and mommy Megan. This is from Harper's first cruise.

Eating sandwiches with the boys!

Watching the water pass by with Grant!

I love to drive with Grandpa!

Brrr... the water is cold!

Playing in the sand

Nice toss!

Playing pitcher in the baseball game

I am going to get you out Brooks!

Nothing like a little corn on the cob!

One warm Wednesday morning, we drove out to Pelican to enjoy our day off. It was nice to be out there in the middle of the week. Mommy and I picked dandelions and were blowing them. I got this one a little too close to my lips!

What a view...

More cottony stuff on my lips!

I walk around with my bucket, it's like an imaginary purse!

Picking flowers

Playing with the Noah's ark

I got you daddy!!

Daddy, I think you should put some sun block on your chest!

Mommy tells me to be "so soft" with Harper

As you have seen before, I like to ride the lawn mower... well, daddy found me on the push mower last weekend so he gave me a ride around the cabin...

Me and my new sailor hat... and new purple sandals that daddy bought me!

All tuckered out... real sailors don't take off there hats...

18 months!

I just turned 18 months last week, we went in for my check-up. Got some not so fun shots, but got to see mommy's friends at work. I weighed 23 # 7 oz. and was 32 inches long. I am in the 36th for weight percentile and almost 68th for height. I was very good for my visit!

I have been busy playing outside, going to the zoo, going for walks to the park, going to the lake and trying to keep up with mommy & daddy!

I am talking more... can say probably 50 or so words. I can say the sounds of several animals: cow, duck, puppy, sheep. I can name several body parts. I even know where to find mommy's baby! I am so smart! :) And the biggest news of all... I have went in the potty 4 times in the last couple days. Tonight, I even told mommy that I had to go potty and I did it. We were all so excited we laughed and sang a song! (I think mom and dad are excited to not pay for diapers!)

Trying gogurt for the first time... we kinda made a mess!

Talk about a mess...

I love my little trike... except I can only go backwards... uh-oh, don't tell mommy I backed into her car!

Jace, the neighbor boy, gave me a ride on his gator... not so impressed for some reason....

Cheese!!

One of my favorite things... riding the lawnmower with daddy!

Take 2 on the Gator...

I am not crying... that's a good sign

I took off on it when mom and dad weren't looking, I even figured out the gas pedal!

Swimming in my new pool (with my sundress), as daddy is filling it up... with ice cold water from the hose... it felt so good... it was so hot out!!

I am going to like this pool...

Playing with my new kick ball from Gogi!

Cool hair!!

Swim time again!!

It's a little cold...

Wedding weekend

This past weekend, we had Gabe and Betsy's wedding. Gabe is a good friend of daddy's; he even got to be in the wedding! I was luck enough to go to the rehearsal and dinner, but for some reason I didn't get to go to the wedding. Hmm... well, I got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa V instead...

Mason and I playing during the Groom's Dinner... we kinda did our own thing all night.. back and forth down this hall screaming and laughing!

Cheese!! Mason, Bethany and me!

I think he's trying to put the moves on me...

Piper and Mason sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G!

Cheese.. playing under the table

Mason, I am gonna play with the trains!!

Doing a little dancing in the back room....

Mommy with Bethany, looking like they are a little chilled...

Smiles

This is from a couple weeks ago... just playing at home-- the best!! :)

Mommy is so funny!!

Check out my two little piggies... my hair is finally long enough to do them in the back!

Rich & Amy's going away dinner... I am sure going to miss them!

Visiting Harper the other week... I just love her!!

Daddy finally got to hold her...

This is kinda blurry, but mom had to act fast... I really like to climb. My newest thing, is I take out the stuff out of my cubbies in my shelf and try to climb up it. However, this time I curled up into the cubbie and kind of got stuck...

Jumping on mommy's bed!

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
