Mommy & Daddy wanted everyone to know:

I really wanted a hippo… Instead I get to be a big brother!

I would have settled for a bear or giraffe…

*sigh*

Here are some more pictures of me at the park (Miss Jamie took these ones). I am AWESOME at bubble blowing now! 🙂

Just me…


Mommy sharing a fruitstrip with my pal Ethan!

Miss Jamie took great pictures of me!

HAHA. Bubbles! Gotta love my concentrating face! Bubbles require squinting!

Today I went in the pool with Mommy & Daddy up at Grandpa Howie’s house. It is Howie’s 65th Birthday today! His twin Harry too! 🙂 I had a nice lunch and played a bit too. I will see everyone tomorrow for Mother’s Day! 🙂

I did AWESOME at swimming today. I didn’t fuss as much and only threw up a LITTLE on Mommy. I listen well and do what the teacher asks me to do. Hopefully I will be done with my lessons next week.

After swimming I went to the park with the momsgroup. Ethan was there and we had a WONDERFUL time.

Racing Cars

Ethan going UP the slide… I won’t even go DOWN…let alone UP!

We hunted bears and hippos.

I found buttons to press.

I found a HOLE to look in!

We had a snack of raisins.

I even learned how to blow bubbles. Mommy couldn’t get a picture of it… but maybe Miss Jamie did?!

I was so tuckered out afterwards that I tried to fall asleep in the car. Mommy then said we could go out to Honeymoon Island and see the new nature center. Sadly, it wasn’t open just yet. We got stuck on the draw bridge on the way back. I thought that was REALLY neat to watch the bridge go up and down.

I was in bed and asleep for my nap by noon!

Today I woke up and did my normal self play until Mommy & Daddy booted-up enough to come get me out of my room. Mommy opened my door and the first thing I said while looking around frantically was “Rina!??” Mommy was sad. Karina watched me last night when Mommy & Daddy went to play putt-putt. I has so much fun that I wanted her to play again today! But today she is getting MARRIED!

Off to swim and nature park!

Yesterday (Saturday) I spent the morning with Mommy , Daddy and Grandma Susie. We went to Wall Springs Park again for a nature hike. I tried to show Daddy where all the hippos were but once again they were hiding. I learned how to play shadow tag with Grandma Susie. I even almost caught my OWN shadow!

Let’s go THAT way…

Tree Hugger!!!!!!


We ran a few errands and then I came home for a nap. After my nap Mommy & Daddy put me in the car and we went to Phillipe Park. Wow, another chance to look for hippos!!! Miss Sage was down for the weekend from Ocala with her parents. So we all met at the park and we had a wonderful time. Daddy enjoyed “grown-up” talk with some of the other dads. Daddy needs more other dad time… maybe I will try to network a social structure for him. Hmmm.

We played on the playground and munched watermelon.

I was exhausted from all the fresh air and went right to sleep at bedtime. Mommy was surprised with that because she THINKS three of my eye-teeth have popped through and I have been cranky because of that.

I got up this morning and did my normal Sunday cartoon ritual while Daddy read the paper and Mommy picked up the house a bit. Then, I looked out the window and who was there?? SAGE!!! Yeah, Sage and her parents came over to play.

Sage and I went on an African safari, played in the sandbox, poured water on each other and did lots more fun things! 🙂 It was nice for Mommy & Daddy to have their friends over. We sure do miss them since they moved to Ocala. After all our outside fun Sage and I got cleaned off with the hose and then each got dunked in the tub. Then I INSISTEd that Sage watch Curious George with me. Guess what?? Sage LOVES George too! I really miss Sage! *sigh* We played for a bit and then everyone went bye-bye.

Watering Sage…it helps her grow!

Our Safari

George Time…

I am really into my George…
