4th of July, I like it!

Last year on the 4th of July, I was in mom's tummy. I would have come out sooner if I knew how fun it could be! We had a party at Grandma and Grandpa Bridges' without them (they were travelling and I missed them!). It was a lot of fun. I had a bunch of friends over, crawled around the yard, played with the water table, and overall had a blast. Then, the best part of the day happened. After a nap, I went to a parade! Not only did a I get to hang out with cool people, but I got to see innumerable fire trucks and floats. What fun! Thanks to all who partied down with me, I even stole a kiss from Charlotte Foster!

The Zoo!

On Saturday I took my first trip to a zoo, although I was more interested in looking at the people than the animals. I went with mom, dad, and their friends Hunter and Christen. I had to pretend to be their child so the family could get in for free, but that wasn't so bad, because they are nice. After the zoo, we went to their house to play for a bit. I had a really fun time playing with the ValPak coupons. Mom and Dad didn't get any pictures of me, but I had all the coupons spread out in a nice even layer on the floor!

Big day in the City

So, Monday was a big day of Firsts for me.

My first el ride, which was pretty fun, although waiting on the Jeff Park Platform in between the Kennedy is pretty scary. Here I am chilling out once we got on the El.

Then I went to my very first Indian restaurant and hung out with mom's friends from work. They were saying goodbye to some of her co-workers and I had a blast playing with them, especially Manu!

I like getting out and about and hope mom and dad take me more places soon.

Father's Day

This year for Father's day, we went to Grammy Barb's and Grandpa Bill's. I spent a lot of time playing around in the yard while the grownups made lunch and generally adored me. At one point, I discovered a long green rope-looking thing. See at right.








However, after a while, my leg started to get wet. I was wondering what was going on and got quite upset. I decided to let all the grownups know my displeasure. It will be a while before I play with that toy again!

Mama too busy

My mama has been so busy lately, I am starting to run amok!
