A Day at the Zoo

 

I've decided to like zoos.

We visited Nashville this week and one day, we decided to go to the zoo. I enjoyed the meerkats and zebras, but turtles and fish got my attention. Dora and Diego love fish and turtles, so I'm going to love them too. But I couldn't give them hugs because they were behind glass -- no fun!

Charlie is gone

I was named after a nice man named Charlie, who loved me very much, and loved my Mommy and Daddy. I'm told he went to heaven, so after they put him up in a nice place in a garden, I stood there and sang him "twinkle twinkle little star." I think he would have liked it.

This is the flag in his front yard. My daddy planted all those plants and trees and they'll last a really long time, so perhaps he'll be remembered for a very long time too. 8-)

 

Keeping Daddy Cool!

 

Texas is hot. Hot hot hot. It's so hot somedays you can't go outside, because if you do, you'll melt. But my Daddy and I decided to run through sprinklers last weekend, which was fun for a while. But when I took over the hose, Daddy really got to stay cool! (so did his camera)

Little Sister Jane Anders

 

I took Mommy and Daddy to the doctor the other day to see if we could get some nice pictures of little sister Jane in Mommy's belly. They're not very colorful, but we could see Jane doing all kinds of things in Mommy's belly. She was kicking, she waved at us, she sucked her thumb, she tried to talk -- she was very busy.

Can you see what little sister's doing in the second photo? She's waving!

Flipping over with Aunt Lisa

 

If you saw my Aunt Lori photo, you'd see that I like flipping over. Well, at the 4th of July Parade, I flipped over my with Aunt Lisa. It's so nice that everyone likes flipping me over just as much as I like to flip. Flip flip flip. Hooray!

I Love a Parade!

 

I got to enjoy my first 4th of July parade! There were funny people on bikes, and bands, and candy flying everywhere, and beads, and cars, and all kinds of things. I'm learning that the world makes me happy -- isn't that nice for the world to do?

Fun with Aunt Lori

 

 

This past weekend my Aunt Lori came over to play for a bit. Here we are having fun as she flips me over. It was great! I couldn't stop laughing.

Me Me Me

 

 

I've had some requests to update my blog, so here are some new photos. I think I'm pretty darn cute, what do you think?

And if this still isn't enough, check out my web albums on the right hand side, I put tons of fun pictures of me there.

Cinderella's Pumpkin

 

While in Lisbon, mom and dad went to the Royal Coach Museum and this coach was Walt Disney's inspiration for the pumpkin coach he used in Cinderella.

Going to Portugal

 

My Mommy and Daddy went to a place called Portugal last week. I know it's very far away, but they said it's more like Austin than they expected. Here's a picture from Portugal that shows how interesting it is -- a monument next to a colorful fiberglass mushroom. I don't know what it's all about, but it's pretty.

Mom and dad also added some more of their Lisbon pictures to a web album on teh right hand side so check them out.

My New Hobby

 

For those equistrians out there, I have bad news. I've given up on horsies for now. Instead, I'm becomming a professional slider. It's easy and fun, and in this photos I'm getting ready to go down a slide that's THREE FEET TALL! That's taller than me!

I love Bubbles!

 

There's nothing better than playing bubbles with Mommy. She gets a little tired of being covered with bubble soap, but I don't care -- bubbles are the best kind of fun.

I wonder if you could play bubbles while riding horsies? Now that would be bestest fun!

Filling my Daddy's Shoes

 

I love shoes, just like my Mommy. But since I run the place, Daddy said I had to fill his shoes. So I tried -- and didn't do so well. Maybe I can fill them with something that usually comes in diapers?

J.J Says I need Curls

 

I don't know where she gets her ideas. For some reason, Grandmom J.J. thought I needed curls. Now, I admit my hair is pretty straight. But when she put these round things in my hair, for some reason I felt old. I shouldn't feel old -- I'm a baby. So I'll stick with straight hair, though J.J. says I need something called a "permanent". I don't like the sound of that!

Let's Go Ride a Horse!

 

Daddy and I went riding horsies the other day. As you can see, Daddy, 'Lightning' and I had a wonderful ride around and around in the middle of the mall. I've never had such fun -- and I screamed bloody murder when Daddy took me away. But he and I made up -- because riding horsies was the best fun ever.
