Queen of the Dance Floor


Oops - I'm wearing the same dress that I wore in the last post - what a Faux Pas. Sorry - as a 17 month old, I have a very limited wardrobe. So - last weekend was fabulous! We went to Camryn's communion and saw a whole lot of Gabays (Yes - Jews at a Catholic affair - go figure). Anyway - after minutes of shyness - I lost control and decided that I must own the dance floor. Here's me on said dance floor with my grandfather (Papoo) and my Aunt Jacqui and my cousin Nicole.

It's now Thursday and last weekend is a distant memory - I have moved on. I am at Grandma and Grandpa Kiernan's house for two nights while Mommy & Daddy lose their shirt in Atlantic City. And on Sunday - I am going to my first Yankee game.

Uh-Oh!

Many new words this week: Uh-Oh (my favorite), Thank You, Bless You (only if you sneeze), Ball. That's in addition to my usual vocab of: Dog, Elmo, Not Nice, and of course, Ralph.

I saw so many people this weekend. First - I met baby Annabelle. That's Caden's new baby sister and she lives right next door to me. I also saw the Gabay clan and all my cousins. Nicole and Matthew chased me around the house. Until I fell from the stairs and landed on my nose. Uh-Oh!

And I saw the Kiernan clan yesterday - including my cousin Mickey. He's so cute. He's very happy and smiley. And - once again - I fell and landed on my nose. And I have a big bruise on my face. We have no idea how that got there. I also have three big bruises on my legs. Hopefully I'll have access to a computer when I'm in foster care.

Mommy leaves for California tomorrow. And Daddy has to take care of me all on his own. Want to bet that he calls Grandma and Grandpa to take me for the week??

Giddy-Up

What a crazy weekend. I am all about riding my elephant. See video in this post. This was a gift from Aunt Beth-Anne and Uncle Dan and I was terrified of it for the last few months. But now, you cant get me off of it! I did lots of new stuff this week. I dance now. I have zero rhythm but I make everyone laugh. Also - out of nowhere I am talking up a storm. Nobody understands a word. But I do not shut up.

We went to visit Mark and Kolleen on Saturday. Kolleen has a little baby girl in her belly. Mark gave me all the strawberries I wanted and chased me around their house. When we left, I ran up to Kolleen and gave her a hug. Then I ran up to Mark and gave him a hug. Those were my very first unsolicited hugs.

More Gelfite Fish Please!

Much to my mother's horror, I finished an entire serving of Gelfite Fish - with NO horseradish on the first night of passover. Mom has to bury hers in horseradish to take even one bite. Not this jew - I say bring it on. We had a lot of fun at Cousin Richard's house. The house is gi-normous and I loved running all over the place. Why couldnt Daddy be a doctor like every other Gabay? Very important advertising executives just dont make enough money.

I got to see my cousins this weekend! Alex, who I absolutely adore, played piano for me. He was so good and everybody was very impressed. He also got to ask the five questions this year and he did soooooooo well. I hope I can read as good as him some day. And of course I got to see the twins - Matthew and Nicole. They wore little sailor outfits and looked so cute. And cousin Deborah took good care of me so that Mom could have five minutes of rest. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uSoctwFjNg

This week is "bring your daughter to work day". And we have class photos this week too. So we're very busy. Welcome back Artie!

Springtime at Last

I finally got to go outside on Saturday. Beers on the deck! I also went for a walk around the lake with Tara & Milo. And I wore my pretty pink shirt from Doug & Carla.

Yesterday, we went to Grandma & Grandpa Kiernan's. They are finally home from Florida - Mom & Dad are already planning their first overnight trip without me. I saw cousin Micky and I showed him my old toys. Then I hit him and told him "Not Nice". He needs to learn sometime, right?

Baby On Fire.

Well I totally put the kibosh on Mommy's birthday this weekend. First Mommy and Daddy were supposed to go to Atlantic City for a Birthday Bonanaza Weekend. But babysitting fell through. Then Daddy made reservations at the Culinary Institute of America and I ruined that too. I had a 104ish fever on Saturday. Baby On Fire. Uncle Dan and Aunt Beth-Anne were supposed to watch me that night - but Mommy didnt want to leave me (and she didnt want cousin Mickey getting sick). So they stayed home and ate bad Chinese food instead. Daddy made up for it with presents though. And I gave Mommy really fun pink & orange slippers. She loved them. And Tara & Jason took us to brunch yesterday.

So I call Daddy "Ralph" now. When he leaves the room, you can hear me yell for him "RALph!!!"
