Rainbows

My first rainbow! and a DOUBLE rainbow at that! Mom says I must be really lucky to see one of those, if only I could talk she'd have me pick out some lotto numbers!

Take me out to the ball game...

My first baseball game, and what a perfect game it was! It was the Cubs vs. the Reds, which made my dad really happy. I got all dressed up in my pretty red dress and headed to the game with mom and dad and their friends Dana & Luke. Dana & Luke were super nice and kept taking turns holding me so I could get a better view of the field. We had great seats, we were so close to the field it was crazy.

It was, however, super hot! Mom and Dad kept getting worried about me so they took turns taking me to the first aid room of the stadium where it was air conditioned. I actually had a lot of fun in there because I met so many kids my age in there too! I guess all their mom's and dad's wanted to get them out of the heat too. I didn't really mind the heat though, and by the 5th inning we were in the shade, so it ended up not being a big deal. What I did not like was that lady that went around misting water on everyone. That was weird. Anyway, the Reds won and we all had a great time! Daddy said I was a good luck charm and should start watching all the games with him from now on! I wouldn't mind that at all!

Another Dog!

Today I went over to my mom's friend Kelli's house. She has a super cool apartment with super cool stuff in it that she let me play with - including her dog, Rudy! Rudy was so much fun, not as cool as Jake, but I still liked him a lot. And I really liked this hat... what do you think? How do I look? It might have been a little big, but I'm still growing so eventually it will be perfect!

Michigan Vacation - Part 4: Jake & Kate

Jake, Jake, Jake. I. seriously. love. Jake!

Did you know how amazing dogs are? They are so soft and cuddly. And seriously, Jake is the best dog ever. He was so nice to me all week long. Even though I was scared of him at first, he didn't hold it against me. And even though I would get so excited about seeing him that I would scream as loud as I could, he didn't mind. And even though I loved him so much I basically ripped chunks of his fur out, he still loved me back. I know it. I miss him the most of all from our vacation days. Jake, where ever you are... I miss you! and I will always love you! You'll always be my first love!!!!

Michigan Vacation - Part 3: Family Photo Shoot

I am quickly learning that no family vacation is complete without an absolutely ridiculously long family photo shoot. You wouldn't believe how long Will and I had to hang out with these people and act happy. Without any food, water or toys! They are lucky we are so well behaved. As soon as I can talk I'm going to tell them to relax a little, I'll always remember this vacation - even without the photos!

Although I have to admit, Will and I look pretty darn cute in all of these...

Michigan Vacation - Part 2: The Lake

The lake was beautiful! It was so pretty to look out on all that water. However, the waves crashing onto the beach were really loud and kind of scary. I didn't mind being taken out into the water and playing, but I did not want to be anywhere near those waves. Well, not at first anyway. By our last day I finally got up the courage to get close, I even let one of the waves crash up on my feet. The sand felt so squishy in my toes and it was kind of weird how you sink into the ground once it gets all soft from the water. I guess it's really not scary. My only regret now it that I put so much darn sunscreen on I didn't get even a hint of a tan!

Michigan Vacation - Part 1: Chillaxing

Vacations are awesome!!! Mom & Dad took me on this long car ride up to a cute little town in Michigan. My Uncle Billy's family has a cottage up on the lake - the big one, Lake Michigan! Aunt Julie, Uncle Billy & Will were there, along with Billy's parent's Mimi & Papa and my Grandparents - Nancy & John. Oh and Mimi & Papa's dog, Jake, was there there too. I LOVED Jake. We spent a week together just hanging out by the lake, going on walks, and chillaxing on the giant screened in porch. Here are the pictures of the house and the beautiful lake and some our my favorite chillaxing moments.

Can you believe it was right on the water like that!  I want to go back already!!!! Thanks for inviting us up for a fabulous time!
