Trip to Rhode Island

We went to Rhode Island August 10-13th for Grammy's birthday (who from this point on would like to be referred to as Nana), so yes, it was Nana's birthday. Fun times with the RI fam! :)

Right before this trip my bottom two front teeth starting coming in. Amazingly they came in at exactly the same time. My first ones! Now my smiles are even cuter!!

Uncle Billy

after Grandma & Grandpa bought me this cool chair, Mom & Dad went out and bought it too! it's great for travel, as you can see here ;)

big smiles with cousin Robin

even though it was Nana's birthday, she gave me a present (lucky me!) this really cool partial-car. now I can help Daddy with the driving!

Catskill Visit

On Monday we went down to Catskill to visit with Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Jenny and Great Grandma Oma! It was a wonderful get-together and we even celebrated GG Oma's birthday (91 years!!) and Aunt Jenny's birthday (who is an actress and therefore doesn't reveal her age ;) 

I'm enjoying all of the new baby foods I've already tried. Of course I still LOVE my Mommy feeding time, but the new tastes and textures of bananas, peaches, peas and more are great as a pre-feeding snack ;)

They couldn't believe how much I had changed since we last saw each other. Grandma & Grandpa just returned from a vacation in Hawaii and Arizona, where Grandpa not only DID NOT USE HIS CANE, but he walked the rim of the Grand Canyon. I'm so proud! It was a very exciting visit filled with puppy bonding and play time. I loved my brand new "special Tyler chair" from Grandma & Grandpa to use at their house when I come to visit. I look forward to the next time we visit again!

Grandpa is getting so strong now he can lift me and keep me from squiggling away.

I bonded with Spencer :)

oh Grandma, you make me blush...

funny fish faces...

and here I am trying to catch the fish!

Great Grandma is so much fun to play with :)

playing with my barn (check out the action shot of this photo below!)

I LOVE bath time

how cool is my barn :)

Mom & Dad's 5 Year Wedding Anniversary!

July 27th Mom & Dad celebrated their 5 year wedding anniversary! They took a much needed 4 day vacation from the world for some good quality family time :)

We watched movies, went swimming, took naps, played with my toys and relaxed... it was wonderful.

the happy couple :)

I was being very considerate. Mid-play time I realized I was tired but didn't want to bother Mom or Dad, so I decided to take a nap right where I was. About 20 minutes later I woke up and resumed jumping as if I hadn't even stopped....

we were about to go into the pool

how cute is my Little Swimmers diaper? 

I loved the float that Aunt Barbara lent me. Splishin and Splashin...

trying peas for the first time - YUCK!

hanging out in the park

the next day peas were now delicious :)

yup I realize this looks dangerous (kids, don't try this at home) but I was sitting up between Mommy & Daddy then decided to reach for the remote, one thing lead to another and I ended up rolling around on the bed and realized.... 'wow, it's pretty comfy lying on my belly....zzzzzzzz'
