July 2009

This month I … took my very first plane ride and my very first boat ride. It was pretty exciting stuff! We went all the way up to where Mama and Daddy use to live in a place called Cape Cod. It is a really really long way away so we got on a plane with a bunch of other people and it jumped up into the sky! I saw clouds and everything! I also made lots and lots of new friends in the airport and on the planes. I like to say hello to everybody.
The first thing we did when we got there was to go see my new friends Abby and Leighton. Their daddy and my daddy use to live together in the same house before our daddies found our mamas. Then we went to the house where we were staying and too see my Patti cause she needed me to snuggle with her.

The next day we all went out on a boat for a birthday party. It was really fun except for the life-jacket I had to wear. I was stuck and could hardly move my head! I had fun on the boat but didn’t go in the water cause I don’t like cold and the water way up there is brrrrrr cold! If you try to put me in there I am smart now and I just lift my feet up as high as I can so they don’t touch. After the birthday party we went to another kind of party, but it was sadder. My Deano has gone away and now I can’t see him anymore. So all sorts of people who knew him all got together to remember him and to give his family lots of hugs. That’s where I got to help cause I gave lots of hugs cause I am really good at hugs. So many people came that we watched them all stand in line all afternoon. The next day we all got together outside and said goodbye one more time. Daddy got up with Brittany, Sam and Corey and talked about how much we all loved Dean. Then we all went back to the golf course and I spent the rest of the day giving out hugs to everybody.

On our last day we went to play with some more of my new friends, Owen and CeCe. Owen tried to teach my Daddy about transformers, cause he’s bigger than me and has cooler toys. Mama and Daddy hung out with the other Mamas and Daddies and everyone had a good time. Then it was time to pack up and say goodbye.

Once we got back home I started really practicing my crawling. Now I can crawl on all fours, and boy can I motor! I can get where ever I want to go now and I can stand up on everything!! I also have my two bottom teeth and I’m working on my top teeth. I can say Mama, Dada, up and awdon (all done). Now I’m learning to say dog. I even got to show off all my new skills to Gigi and Poppy, to my Mimi, and to my Grandpa David, cause they all came to visit me!

I really love… getting to play outside on the deck. My Daddy put up a special railing so I can play outside and not fall in the creek. It’s so fun cause I can use it to stand up! I also love my superman smoothie. I drink one every morning and I get so excited when I see it I almost wiggle right out of my chair! My favorite books right now are Hello Farm Babies and Goodnight Moon. My favorite toys are my wooden safari animal puzzle and my stand up lunch table.

I don’t like … putting on my pj’s. I just don’t want to be still for that long!
