Pool Open for the Season!

Well, summer season has hit in Toledo! I've been excited to wear my summer wardrobe and enjoy being outside with Mom and Dad...

Yup, Auntie Courtiepoo I love my bubbles!

Mom and Dad had their "Lost" party on Sunday and made a fire...this was before I had to go to bed.
Here's a pic for Grandma Hiatt. She's done lots of shopping for me and needed a picture of my cute overalls.
This pool was lovingly blown up by Mom and Dad. I hear they may be buying a foot pump soon.

Getting my toes wet.

Then I really got to splashing!

Trying to catch some water.

Thanks to the Roberts for my fantastic beach towel! I loved it! Looking forward to lots more pool time!!!

Beautiful Morning

Well, as promised I made it out for my morning walk. It was 70 at 8:30 this morning! It was me, Mom, Dad and Obi...all at Wildwood Park. A good time was had by all! Got some swinging in too, next time Mom and Dad will have to try and video tape that. Now time for my nap. Dad keeps talking about our Lost party, whatever that is. Sounds like we are going to cook hotdogs over the fire and watch a little TV!

Matt P. Visit Part Two!

Well, it's the weekend and our house is quiet. My buddy Matt headed out on Wednesday night and we all enjoyed his visit!

Matt was trying to teach me Mario on the Wii. I did a very good job of pounding the buttons for him!
Last Sunday I went to my first Mud Hens baseball game. It was a nice afternoon, although it could have been about ten degrees warmer. I watched some of the game in my seat with Mom and Dad. But then I was a little antsy and we did some walking around the park. The Hens won in the ninth!
I've been getting more adventurous with my stroller. Obi had better watch out! Here I am giving him instruction to kindly move, or else! Also, Mom and Dad think that I am starting to say his name. Although it comes out more like, "Bee!"

Tuesday Mom and Matt went to Cedar Point for the day. They had a good time although there was some rain and colder weather. Wednesday was beautiful and of course it was Matt's last day in town. We got a good group shot before our lunch at El Camino's. The week flew by and I can't wait to see Matt again in July!

I have a new habit when I go down for my naps/bedtime. I love my book and water and then usually I like to snuggle in for a bit with Mom or Dad. Dad caught us...Mom had disappeared for a long time. Turns out she let me sleep on her for quite a while, couldn't put me down!

Well, things are getting back to normal at home. I had a nice day with just Mom and Dad. We went up to Monroe for pizza at Nick and Nino's. Then we took a little drive because I fell asleep and made a run through Costco. It's one of my favorite places to shop. I even like going through the register line in my cart and making friends! Tomorrow is supposed to be HOT, so I hope to go on a walk at the park early..... Yeah for weekends!

Matt P. Visit

It's been busy at our house! Mom and Dad's friend Matt Persons flew in from Seattle on Thursday night and is visiting until next Thursday. I was asleep when he got to our house Thursday, but when I met him on Friday I was instantly in love! Spent lots of time smiling and looking at him...

Friday Mom was off work and the whole group went out for lunch and then around Toledo. Matt's sister had lived here a few years back so we even got to see her work and house. I did some napping in the car too.
It's been nice enough to BBQ. It was a late dinner and I hung out in my PJs while everyone finished up. I did get a little fussy at the end but Matt held me and I was happy as a clam. Then we took a ride up to Luna Pier to see Lake Erie and get ice cream at Handel's. It was a late night for me, a special treat.
This morning Mom and I got ready to go to the Humane Society Walk, called Bark in the Park. Well, we were ready early and got down there...only to discover it's on SUNDAY! That's what happens when Mom's off Friday and doesn't look at the calendar. Oh well, we went to the park for a long walk anyways. Better luck tomorrow :)
This was my nap hair today. I took a REALLY long afternoon nap, Mom woke me up!
Another view. Plus, I was playing with this box in the living room and pulled myself up to standing. For the first time!
Dinner was good. I like to eat a rainbow! I'm also getting Mom to eat more vegetables. I think our favorite right now is yams!

Well, it was a busy, busy day. I was ready to go to bed. After reading "Green Eggs and Ham" I rolled over and snuggled in with my blankie...

Week in Review

This is my azalea from Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt. They planted it last year when they came to visit me the first time. Lucky for me it sits right under my bedroom window and I can see it in bloom. It also has great timing, because it bloomed beautifully right at my birthday!
Dad took me on a little picnic last week. I had a good time and had lunch on the go. Dad thought that would be easy but I wanted to scoot around the blanket and explore.
This was one of my last bottles, EVER. I am a big girl now and drinking out of my straw cup full-time. Thanks to lots of work by my Dad over the last few months, I'm already a pro...
The weather hasn't been great, but I did get to take Obi for a walk with Mom. Okay, I went in my stroller and Obi came with. But I love to hold his leash!
My buddy Parker came to visit for the weekend. We had a fun time playing together and even went out for a mother's day brunch.

Just wait until we are both running around!

Some quiet time with Mom. I've been reading some new long books. Lots of Dr. Seuss!
Mom and Dad have instituted a new rule. If I get my first outfit of the day dirty I get to wear any kind of crazy getup I want. So today I wore my new PLU onesie, skirt, and 80s headband.

You can see I've been a busy girl! Thursday one of Mom and Dad's friends from Seattle is coming to visit for the week. Looking forward to having another visitor!!

Birthday Week in Pictures (Finally!)

Well, since I had a gazillion pictures of my birthday week it took a while to get organized! I hope that you have a snack, because it will take a few minutes to get through all of these. Here's the best of the best!

The night that Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt and Aunt Courtney flew in to Detroit.
I met them at the airport in my pj's but we made it all the way home before pictures!
Hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma. They were amazed at how well I can stand now.

Quiet time with Aunt Courtney.

Obi got some attention too!

Mom and Aunt Courtney, finally our yard is starting to get green!
Okay, so not every day is a good hair day!
I liked looking around outside, but what I really wanted to do was get down and explore!

Here was my birthday dress.

Gifts with the family. My wheelybug is from Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon...

Tissue rocks!

Birthday girl with Grandpa.

My birthday walk at Wildwood with the whole family. Also had a nice lunch at El Caminos.

We celebrated Mom's birthday too since everyone was in town.

Yup, even in April it can be cold in Ohio!

Party day! All ready for my guests!

The Hiatt side...

The Jackson side...

I had fun opening all of my goodies.

Cake #2. Also not very messy. I am a "picker."

As you can see, I had a week long party! It was a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for helping me celebrate!!!
