My afternoon at the park

Mom and I went to Westside Park to play this afternoon because it was such a beautiful day out. We had lots of fun and Daddy met us there. Here are some pictures of what we did.
First, we went on the swings. Yippee!


Then I played in the dirt and the sand.


After that, I climbed up on to this great jungle gym thing.


I was up there all by myself, Mom's too big to get in with me!


The very best part was going down the slide! What fun! Oh, and eating bark too, that's also great.


I had so much fun I didn't want to leave. I wanted to go back up the slide (but didn't get very far). 

Where's Resli? Peek-a-boo! Here I am! 

This is just a silly picture of Mojo's new favorite spot to sit - perched on top of the back of the couch. What a crazy dog! 

Se busca niñera...

We're still trying to figure out the perfect daycare solution for me while mom and dad are at work. Mom put a classified ad in the Spanish newspaper, La Voz Latina, looking for a babysitter to speak Spanish to me. She thought it was going to be a little tiny normal classified, but they made it all fancy! We've met a couple people so far, but nobody yet is the latina version of Ern. We'll keep you posted... 

Can you believe my parents went out AGAIN last night? Another party! Thank goodness I have my Grandma and Granddaddy Ward to play with me when they're out! 

I'm growing so much more hair, I can even put little bows in it.  

I'm walking!

I took my first solo steps on Saturday, February 25th. To celebrate, we went and got me my first real pair of shoes at Stride Rite.They look HUGE, don't they?

But the nice lady that helped us promised they were the right size, and they seem to fit well enough. 

I got a new bib the other day, since I'm such a messy eater now that I feed myself most of the time. As you can see, I'm not so thrilled with the whole bib thing...

I'd much rather eat naked - No muss, no fuss! 

Mornings are such a happy time for me. After I get dressed (and isn't this a cute outfit? Thanks Grandpa Lord and Miss Eleanor!), I play in my room a little while.

Then we go in to the living room and I play some more while dad gets our breakfast ready.

After I eat, I read books while mom and dad eat. What fun! (I have a little bit of a cold, sorry I didn't blow my nose before this picture was taken.) 

My parents said it was about time I started earning my keep around the house. So I cleaned the kitchen, starting with the oven. 

Mom and Dad got dressed up and went out on a date the other night. Yes, they left me at home.

I know you're wondering why I wasn't in that last picture - this is why! 

We went over to my friend Alison's house for a playgroup birthday party on February 11th. She has the coolest toys!

We all sat down to eat birthday cupcakes.

It was a little chaotic at times!

I drank real (cow's) milk for the first time.

But the very best part was that I got my own cupcake!

Mom was trying to stay clean so she stopped trying to feed me after a while and just gave in to the inevitable mess.

See what I mean?

Mmm, buttercream icing is so delicious!

What a great birthday party! 

If you ask me where my eye is (well, mom asks donde esta mi ojo), this is what I do. Aren't I a clever little thing? [OK, fine, I do this same thing if you ask where my nose or mouth are too, but it's a start!] 

My playgroup friends and I went to lunch the other day at Macaroni Grill, and the nice waiter gave me some raw pizza dough to play with. I was trying to make my own pizza crust, see? 

When I got my pictures taken at Sears last week they had this great toy for me to play with while we waited.  

When I'm playing in the bath, I sometimes like to drink the bathwater. Is that gross?
