WHAT?!?

Arboretum During the Fall

A few weeks ago, we went to the Minnesota arboretum. The leaves had not yet changed colors, but it was still really pretty. Lots of flowers were in bloom. I smelled so many different kinds of flowers. The dahlias looked the prettiest. I also ate an apple that is grown right at the arboretum. It was a really good day. Mommy and daddy brought the stroller, but I enjoyed walking around the gardens by myself.

Auntie Katie Came to Visit!

I know that it has been a long time since I have blogged, but my social life has been booming these days. I can hardly find the time to write! Two weekends ago, Auntie Katie came to visit me all of the way from Chicago. We had such a wonderful time together. Even though Katie lives far away and I do not get to see her as much as I like, I instantly wanted to play and snuggle with her. She played a really fun game with me where we would bury our faces in a bunch of blankets and laugh and laugh. I love Auntie Katie!

One of the highlights of her visit was going to the Minnesota zoo. It was an eventful day at the zoo. First, the tigers were particularly active and one paced back and forth right up against the glass enclosure. When the crowd said "Ouhhhhhhh," I did too. Then, we made it just in time for the outdoor bird show at the zoo. We were standing high up on the bleachers and one of the hawks was trained to fly and perch right next to us! We were so fortunate to have picked that seating location. Finally, we went to the petting zoo. Daddy gave me little pellets of food to feed the goats. The goats went nuts over the food. When the food would run out, I pointed to the food machine and I made daddy put more quarters into it to get me more food for the goats. After the zoo, we ended the day by going to a really fun Greek restaurant and sitting out on the terrace.

I posted some pictures of the weekend with Katie. There are a few pictures of me feeding the goats and a few pictures of Katie and me. In one picture, I am showing Katie how I wash my hands.

I promise to be better about writing on the blog. I have so many more stories to tell, but they will have to wait until tomorrow.

A Story In Pictures

"I am just an innocent little girl, playing in my yard."

"Oh, Look! Flowers! I think I will smell one of the flowers, just like how mommy taught me. They sure do smell nice."

"If the flowers smell good, they might taste good, too."

"One little taste of a black-eyed susan never hurt anyone."

"Yucky..bleechy..blah...gag....blecky..."

"The moral of the story is: flowers are good for smelling, but not good for eating."

My New Awesome Sippy Cup

So, my mommy decided to do the unthinkable and finally wean me from breastfeeding for good. It has not been easy....until mommy gave me this new super-duper totally awesome sippy cup! I can just suck down the milk out of the cup's little straw. I love the color, shape, size, and I look super cool when I am drinking it. In fact, in these pictures it looks like the cup is permanently attached to my face. Every morning I look forward to marching around the house drinking my organic whole milk from my sippy cup.
