ice cream social!
mommy's girls!
jet came and sat on my lap...so nev got jealous and had to come join in the excitement!
look at my cute new dress!
i got my dress from poshprincipessa.com. mommy has a friend who makes children's clothes and they are so cute!
being silly!
i am silly most of the time...but i can be especially silly when i am eating!
pondering thoughts...
having a "nack" (aka snack)
each morning before my swim lesson i have a small snack so that i have energy to swim, float, and swim!
at the phoenix zoo...
the zoo has two different water play areas! so, mommy, grandma marsha and grandpa cal took me there to keep cool in the 115 degree weather! it was fun!
boo!
snack time!
i am very proud!
mommy thinks i look proud in this photo because i have my shoulders pulled back! and...she mentioned they looked like good swimming shoulders too! :)
partners in crime
jet and i were having fun pulling the stuffing out of her pillow! sisters are supposed to get into trouble together, right?
so close!
what? look at the camera?
fun times on all the rides at the putt putt park!
cookie monster!
like mother like daughter!
what's for dinner dad?
floating in my clothes
this week i had to do my swim lessons in my clothes. i did excellent! we simulated me falling off the side, getting thrown in, and having something cover my face while in the pool! i was able to problem solve! i even attempted to do the series...swim, float, swim but was unable to pull myself up at the side because it was too tall...so i just kept floating just like i should! then i just happened to float to a step and was able to pull myself to safety! yippee...i did it! mommy and dad are so proud!
wet kisses!
i was cuddling with jet and she gave me a bunch of sloppy, wet kisses! i was giggling!
don't i look sweet?
this is one of my professional photos that was taken to document being 18 months old! i was a pistol during the photo shoot and kept running around the room!
