i was in show low, arizona for labor day weekend! i had a great time! our friends, the nieto's, came to stay with us too!

naked babies at dinner!
we had a great time entertaining each other during meals! and, after dinner all three of us girls got to take a bath together! that was even more fun!
horsies!
we went on a run one morning and mommy and daddy took me to the equestrian center at torreon! i saw over 10 horses! i got to pet the mane of a few horses and one of the horses tried to eat my stroller! i now like to imitate the "neigh" sound a horse makes too! and, i caught jet nuzzling with one of them! shh...don't tell!
girl talk!
come and get me sofia!!!!
BUS!
i LOVE buses! whenever i see one i shout out..."BUS" and start laughing! so, after going out for breakfast this past weekend with mommy and daddy we happened to see a bus nearby with the driver on break. daddy asked the driver if we could tour the bus! it was so much fun! the driver even let me press the button to open the doors!
what a happy bus driver!
noodle exhibit
we walked through lots of noodles! i wasn't quite sure what to think at first but eventually i thought it was fun!

happy "neh neh"!
i call myself "neh neh" (2 syllable words are easier the one syllable words) and boy did i have a good time today! it started with breakfast, then a bus tour, and finally the museum! later in the day i got to have my babysitting clan (claudia, danielle, and maddie) come over to play and put me to bed! what a great day! oh by the way, can you see the paint in my hair?

the elmo ride!
i'm becoming a fan of elmo! mommy isn't sure how i know who he is but i say his name a lot!
my first stair climb
i went to cheer on aunt "she she" at the stair climb benefiting cystic fibrosis. i ended up climbing myself and did one round which consisted of 332 steps! next year i plan to do it again because i had so much fun! i wasn't even tired after climbing all 16 flights of stairs!

freedom!
my sister, jet, has been "in training" the last three months and she was finally free up in show low, arizona! she did a very nice job and knows to come back when called! i think she enjoyed her new freedom to explore!
running!
i went on runs every day! i loved it and would laugh the entire time! i even fell down a few times and it didn't even phase me!
spaghetti and meatballs...i'm in heaven!
i was a mess after this meal but it sure tasted good!

attacking the stuffed bear!
actually, i was cuddling with the bear...
whee!
after going to swim at the torreon pool i got to ride back on daddy's shoulders! what a fun day!!
puddles
one afternoon after a thunderstorm we took a walk...mommy and daddy let me run through lots of puddles and make big splashes! i thought i was so cool! my shoes got all wet and i got my pretty little tutu skirt dirty...it was so much fun!
testing out the bus seats!
i can do it by myself!
mommy and daddy took me to the children's museum on the 12th of september. this was the first time that i could do the slide all by myself!

i got everything on my list!
copying daddy!
i am very good at imitating actions and words! i was able to make music just like daddy!
painting in the art room
i love art so i had a great time painting the house at the museum. i was a big fan of double dipping my paint brush so i had TONS of paint to use! i wanted to make sure i had the most paint on my brush compared to the other kids. i did a great job but did manage to get paint all over my legs, arms, face, hair, shoes, and clothes despite wearing an apron! oh well...i like the color green!
go wabash!
we call these my sexy pj's because they hang off my shoulder. they are actually a little big but they are some of my favorites. they were passed down from my cousin elle...maybe that is why i like them so much! by the way, i can now say "sexy."
"brusha brusha brusha..."
we sing a song when i brush my teeth. the opening lines are above!
miss independent
i like to do everything myself. i love to keep running the toothbrush under the water in between brushing my teeth! i'm really good at brushing my tongue too!
i'm getting taller!
playing skee ball with courtney berman
courtney (to my left) showed me how to play skee ball! i was able to roll/throw the ball halfway down the alley! yippee! courtney kept saying "this is my nev!" i liked it!
girlfriends in the convertible!
maya and i got to ride together! maybe someday when i am older the two of us can drive in a real convertible together!?!
"shades"
i'm getting better at keeping my sunglasses on! i call them "shades." it makes me laugh when i put them on!

aunt she she needed my help since she had already been climbing the stairs for 30 minutes before i got there! good thing i came along to help! :)
fire fighter challenge!
part of the stair climb event is a fire fighter challenge! they compete against each other doing an obstacle course. here is a fire fighter pulling the dummy close to the finish line! i enjoyed watching the festivities!
a real fireman!
daddy is hiding from me!
i am really good at being silly! i love it when we play hide and seek! daddy made this one easy on me because i see him laying on the couch a lot! :)
hiking season begins!
i went hiking with aunt abby, luci (abby's doggy), erik and his two dogs, oberon and miller! it was fun! i ate my snack while mommy carried me on her back...the perfect setup!
taking a walk after the hike!
i wasn't tired after our hike so i had aunt abby and luci go for a short walk at the mountain preserve with me!
