Getting a Haircut

Thanks Grandma Judy for giving me a great haircut yesterday. Like Grandma Judy says "I didn't get a haircut, I got them all cut!"
Papa and I had a great time playing out in the barn checking out all of the animals. Papa even let me lower the back hoe on the big tractor. I love tractors so much, they are so cool! Amelia had a nice time having some girl talk with Mommy and Grandma Judy while we were outside. After lunch Papa and I took a nap. Thanks for having us over for the day! We love you!

Chef BoyaJAMES

James was a great assistant while preparing tonight's dinner. He helped stir the stuffing and then he stirred the soup mixture for our chicken bake dinner. James loves to lend a hand when it comes to cooking. He is a pro at stirring and dumping things in a bowl!
Mommy is thrilled to have such a great little helper in the kitchen. She can't wait until James and I will help bake some yummy cakes! If you were wondering where I (Amelia) was when James was cooking, I was sitting in the big high chair waiting for my dinner! I can't wait until I can eat what my big brother James and my Mommy and Daddy eat. Their food always smells so good!

Let it NOT Snow!!!

While Amelia was taking a nap, James and I watched the snow fall from the sky. We stuck our hands out the door and then we ventured out on the deck for a quick minute to try to catch some snowflakes in our mouths.
These pictures are the greatest, but we did have quite a snowfall for a short time. It must have warmed up a degree, because shortly after that the snow turned back to sleet and then to rain.
Just another day with Chicago weather!

Night, Night Amelia!

A Picnic in the Park


Today we decided to have a little picnic in the park with our friends Heather and Baby Josh. I met a little girl named Maddie. Maddie and I ran all over the castle park together. We had a lot of fun!
Yummy PB&J for lunch! Heather was so nice to share some of her fishy crackers with me. Thanks Heather!
Look at me! Whee!!!


This was Josh's first time on a swing. I think he enjoyed it, or at least didn't mind it! I hope Josh and Heather join us again for another picnic in the park.

I'm a Big Boy Now!

I have been practicing pedaling a lot lately. Tonight, my family and I went for a nice ride/walk around the neighborhood. We are really enjoying these amazing spring days.
Ding, Ding! Here I come! Don't I look so cute with my big boy helmet on?

Papa to the Rescue!!

This is our Papa. He is so much fun to be with. Today, Papa stopped by to bring James a pretty butterfly cookie. James sure loves his special cookies from Grandpa. As you can see above, Papa rescued me from a nap that I really didn't want to take. He just scooped me up and put me on his shoulders for a ride around the livingroom. Thanks Papa for getting me out of my confined crib. I just didn't want to miss a thing while you were visiting.
Papa loves to tickle us! He was making me laugh so hard by giving me the raspberries on my neck. That gets me everytime!!! It looks like Papa is thinking of tickling my feet next!! Hee, Hee!!!
