To Salina

Mom & I went to Salina for the weekend to see Grandma and Grandpa Lovett, my cousins, and a bunch of other family too. We had so much fun! We went swimming, played at the park, fed the ducks, played at my cousins house, visited family we hadn't seen in a long time, and just hung out at Grandmas house.



I'm showing Grandma my swimming skills


Grandma & I are feeding the ducks


My cousins and I after feeding the ducks- it was super hot so you'll have to excuse my red face


Going down the slide- I like to go down on my tummy (I think I go faster :)


I'm so strong- I'm pushing Grandma on the merry go round


I discovered the "other" Camden. I was in love with this little boy- he was doing everything I was doing- Mom kept saying the "other" little boy was Camden too- I don't know what she was talking about, but that other Camden was high fivin me and kissing me back- so I think he's pretty cool

Mowing the Lawn

I got a lawn mower from my Grandma Weigel so I can help out my Daddy in the yard. Mine really doesn't cut the lawn, but it does blow bubbles :)
Then I decided to help Mom with some decorating- I colored the driveway with sidewalk chalk. It was a lot of fun, but I managed to have chalk everywhere by the time we were done. Thank goodness for baths ;)

My new mower


This mowing bizness isn't so bad.


Checking out my mower, making sure everything is working right.


Let's get started drawing


My masterpiece!

Oh Wow!

Camden is coming along on talking..... slowly but we'll take anything we can get. So here's his new word of the week.



He says "Oh Wow" to EVERYTHING

Swim lessons

I started swimming lessons again this year and I already love it! Who wouldn't love to be in the water playing and getting to splash your Mommy and Daddy in the face for 30 minutes straight :)
So far I'm doing very well, except that I don't like to float on my back and I don't like to blow bubbles in the water- to me it's more fun to drink it (we are working on these things). Here's some pics from my 2nd day!


I mean really- do they get cuter than this???


This is my friend Carson King(and his Mommy Jen)- he's in my class with me :)


I love to jump in off the side and make a big splash!


Practicing swimming


More practicing- I see toys ahead- I'm on a mission


I wanted to show everyone how much I like to drink the water.


A tuckered little guy after lessons. If you're wondering about the big strawberry on my forehead- well I was walking out of the pool with Dad holding onto his hand and I let go for a second to grab a goldfish and I tripped on my own sandal and face dived into the cement- NO FUN. So you'll have to excuse some of the next pictures Mom takes of me- I think this one will be here for a while.

The Swimming Pool

Mom and Dad took me to the outdoor pool for the first time this year- I loved it! As I've always said- I'm a water baby. I played my little heart out and didn't want to get out of the pool when it was time to go- I was kicking and screaming with purple lips and all, but I wanted to stay:) Enjoy the Pics

WOW!





Drinking the water


And me trying to drink the water....again

Just checking out the view

Omaha

I got to Omaha this weekend to go to the zoo. The road trip wasn't to bad- I got to watch some Handy Manny and take a little nap. Then when we got to the hotel we got to go swimming! I love love love the water. I swam right up until my bedtime and then threw a fit b/c it was time to go to bed. Then next morning I woke up on the wrong side of my pack n play (I was grumpy). I didn't even want to eat breakfast- that says a lot when I turn down food. So I took a little nap and off to the zoo we went. I got to see so many animals- It was cool.
My favs were the tigers (it scared me a little bit, but Dad was holding me so I was ok), and the elephant- she reached her long trunk over near me to pick up a branch to eat- I thought it was cool. As you can imagine Mom took tons of pictures, but b/c I wasn't my happy little self- a lot of them are of the animals. So here's some from the trip- Enjoy!

On the way to Omaha- here's my hair! (I'm learning body parts ok)


I'm so excited to go swimming! Mom loves this pics- look at her boys


I also love to splash (Mom doesn't appreciate when I do it in the tub)


Practicng swimming






Collecting sticks to feed the animals




Moms favorite- The Polar Bear




The Pretty Tiger


She's big! You can kind of see it here, but she only had 3 legs- her left front one is gone


On our way home- practicing body parts again- here's my cheeks

My Pillow and Blanket

Mom has started letting me sleep with a pillow and blanket at naptime and now it has transitioned to bedtime. I don't get to sleep with the pillow the whole night b/c Mom worries to much- she takes it out of my bed before she goes to bed. Anyway I wanted to share some funny/cute pics that Mom has taken of me while I'm enjoying pillow/blanket time.

And she thinks I don't know what to do with a pillow




See I'm getting the hang of it ;)
