No Smiles for Mommy

Tickle

Man, I had a good tickle session this evening.
Grandma apparently doesn't know what "stop" means...

Wait... I don't even know how to say "stop."

That's probably why it was so good... what fun is tickling if someone stops when you say so?

Outdoor Girl

We went for a hike out to our land today. I like it out here.

Little hiker girl. (Mommy finally trained me to smile on cue for the camera)

Diaper

I think my new Bum Genius diaper makes a nifty shower cap. I assure you it was clean when I did this.

Visitor

This very brave Red Squirrel has been eating out of our window feeder for two days now. I thought it was pretty neat to see this guy so close up. What this squirrel doesn't know is that Grandpa doesn't like red squirrels, and this squirrel's days are numbered.

tire swing

This was fun until I got a bit top heavy and fell head first through the tire. Don't worry I wasn't injured, just a bit muddy.

Funny Little Story

Last night I was getting ready for my bath. Mommy had taken everything off except my diaper. (Because I have a tendency to pee when it's off.) Mommy was out of the room and I was left with Grandpa and my cousins. I pulled my Fuzzi Bunz diaper down all by myself and sat down in my plastic booster seat and peed. Mommy was summoned by yells from the living room. "I think Helena is ready for the potty!" Mommy was ridiculously proud of me. I mean I just peed on a chair... So anyhow today we are going shopping for my very own little potty.

Vroom

I got this little car at a garage sale while we were in New York last week. I love it. I love riding in it, climbing on and off of it, and I especially love being pushed around in it. The weather was very mild last week so we spent lots of time out of doors enjoying the fresh air.

Playing with my Baby

Mema and Papa

This weekend we visited Mema and Papa in New York. I did awesome in the car, both ways. I slept a little, ate a little, watched a little Elmo. Mommy and Daddy didn't even have to drug me... Anyhow, we had a very nice weekend, and here are a couple of pictures to prove it.

My new car. I am falling asleep at the wheel.

I love to draw! Here I am waiting for our breakfast to be served.

I am 18 months old. The doctor said I look good. I now weigh 20.1 pounds (8th percentile) and I am 32 inches tall (55th percentile) I am saying lot of words, and I am even making some 2 word sentences. And even though I do tantrum every once in a while life is good...
