Picnic with Grandma & Grandpa

I spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. They took me to the park in Tarrytown. Some sort of festival. The clown sort of freaked me out. But I'm a big girl - so I could handle it.

We also went to the hospital to see my new baby cousin. He's so freakin' small. I'm a big mama next to him. Oh I cant wait to boss him around :)

Meet Michael Joseph...

I have a new cousin! His name is Michael Joseph and he weighed 6 pounds and 15 ounces. I got to meet him this weekend when Grandma and Grandpa were babysitting me. Then Mommy and Daddy came and met him too. Congratulations to Aunt Beth-Anne and Uncle Dan. Aunt Beth-Anne looks great by the way. I hope their first night home was good. Uncle Dan looks pretty tired. Cousin Michael farts a lot.

Daddy's Girl

Here's me with my papa on vacation. We rented a huge beach house with a pool. We got up early every morning and walked to the marina to look at the boats and the ducks. We watched the sun come up over the ocean. And we went to the playground. We walked on the boardwalk in Atlantic City and Daddy thought about getting a deep fried oreo. Yuck. I cant wait to go again next year. I hope there are some kids for me to play with next time. Maybe some cousins? My Uncle Dan and Aunt Beth-Anne should have a baby any second now.

I am sleeping over Grandma and Grandpa Kiernan's on Saturday. Mommy is going to D.C. to see Michelle and Jardena. Apparently they wanted to get together without us kids.

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

First word? We're not really sure. Back in May I said "Bye" to Uncle Mike. So I think that was my first word. But then I didnt talk again for a long time.

Then last week I started yelling "Bag dad Bag dad Bag dad". I am either up in arms over the war in Iraq or I am kindly demanding a prada purse from my father. But mostly I just babble DADDADADADADADADADADADA and then I blow a big raspberry. Oh I learned that it's really fun to blow raspberries right after Mom puts food in my mouth. My art work is on display all over the house.

This weekend was great. Mommy was home from California and I decided to take residence up her ass. I freaked whenever she left the room. I also decided we needed to play in the middle of the night - both Friday night and Saturday night. Mom got no sleep at all. She got me back last night though. She turned the monitor off. Daddy slept upstairs with me and Mom got 8 hours sleep.

Rubber Duckie

I splash so much. I've been taking my baths outside lately. I guess I have to move into the big people's tub soon because I'm outgrowing this thing.

Look - I actually have some hair!!

I went to the beach twice this weekend. We also went to an auction. I loved listening to the guy talk. He talks faster than Mommy.

Mommy's going to California today. Daddy's got to take care of me all on his own. I hope I survive.

You Give Me Fever

Ah - my first fever. Daycare called Mom on Friday to come get me. I was on FIRE. Mom gave me Tylenol (which Cousin Richter calls "Grape Flavored Sleeping Juice") and that helped.

You'd think Mom would be all concerned about me...but no...she went to a wedding on Saturday night. I had a date with Daddy. We couldnt find a babysitter - so Dad quickly volunteered to skip wedding and take care of me.

And last night, I slept at Grandma and Grandpa's. Mom and Dad went to see The Police. I didnt sleep very well. I'm pretty congested. It's been one cold after another since I started Daycare.

But I am a happy baby. Here's video to prove it: http://picasaweb.google.com/kgabay/Video/photo#5094182465614401746
