Last Wednesday, we went to the riverfront to listen to some drums. It was sooo fun. I drummed along on my stroller. I tried to sing too, but Mommy said it wasn't the type of music you sing too. Oh well. 

There's Daddy playing his drum. 

I found the doingy thing behind the door today. How fun is that toy?! And built right into the wall? I tell ya, you grown-ups think of everything! 

Football season is in the air. I can smell it! I can hardly wait to go to my first game!
 

I'll just kick back with a tall cold one and wait for the big day. 

I had so much fun playing this morning, I really didn't want to stop. Unfortunately, the sand man caught up with me somewhere between the Cheerios and "Pop Goes the Weasel." 

Alphabet Soup

This morning, I was trying to climb the refrigerator, when I found something quite delightful--and as it turns out, delicious. Mommy says alphabet magnents are not for eating, but she has to be wrong! When she found me, I had the E and the T in my mouth, and I was trying to get the A in there too. The darn thing just wouldn't fit. She just doesn't understand how badly I want to communicate! E-A-T

Aunt Snook took this picture of me at her house. She sent it to me because she thought I needed a new picture on my blog. She's very right! 

I just love black beand and corn! I look pretty good in it too. 

Last weekend, we went to the lake with Nels and Maura. I'm all suited up and ready to go on the water. Gavin's driving, so I'm sure we'll have lots of fun.  

Daddy and Nels went on the tube.  

There's Daddy getting all wet. I was a little worried about him, but he did OK. 

Then I helped Daddy drive us home.  

Gone fishing. I was walking around my crib and saw this other great stuff on the wall I could grab onto. I was stuck before I figured out what happened. Apparently there is a difference between two and three dementional things... 

Last week, I went swimming with my friend Gavin. Check out my fancy floatie! I am so independant! 

Tired of the same old blog pictures? Well, here is a picture of me being attacked by my toys. Mommy came to get me up from my nap and found me like this. She took a picture before she rescued me.

Joscelyn

My cousin Joscelyn is getting her tonsils out in a few hours. I'm praying for her that she will be brave and strong and that everything will go smoothly. Would you pray for her too? And if you want, drop by her blog and wish her a speedy recovery. I'll let you know in the next couple of days how she's doing. Thanks!

Mommy and Aunt Snook to Emmaleigh and me up to Black Lake last week. We thought we were just going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Little did we know our mommies planned to throw us in the lake!!  

The water was cold... 

...but refreshing. 

"Auntie Snook, I'm a little embarrassed to be out here in just my swim diaper. Look at all these people starring at me!" 

At the end of it all, Aunt Snook wrapped us up in our towels and sent us off for our naps.
