july

nana went home on tuesday... i miss her so much! but grandpa is coming on saturday. i haven't seen him since i was a little girl. this is my room. still a mess, but mommy will get to it soon. the house looks like it is finally getting finished. the contractors have been working on it for over 3 months and i still haven't seen that housewarming party that was also supposed to be my birthday party that they promised.

bubbles!

saving for college, i think. all i know is that it's fun to drop these things into the gourd bank that nana got me.

having some lunch at the chicken pie shop before going to the zoo

these things were scary! i don't think i liked the zoo very much

new house

what a hectic month it has been!
so much new stuff to get into, so many new places to explore and so many new ways to get in trouble, i can't keep up. i've hardly even had time to update my blog!
nana came to visit and help us with getting situated in our new house. her main job was to keep me out of trouble while mom and dad worked on stuff around the house. nana bought me so many toys and books since she has been here. i hope she never leaves!
these cabinets are much easier to open than our old ones!
so far, this is the only room that is really clean and unpacked.
i hang out here a lot

this is my favorite part of my room. it's like having two rooms!
i furnished it myself.

i also help with the unpacking.
i need to make sure my things don't get lost!

weeks of birthdays!

it's my birthday today! i don't get a party until we move into our new house, and mom and dad feel guilty about it, but the truth is, i'll get to make my birthday last for weeks. it started out with a happy birthday song from grandpa and a pile of pancakes!

daddy left for china last week, so he missed my birthday- that means i get more birthday reparations when he comes home!

and then the mailman brought a present from cousin francis!

then auntie mae and kimlan took me to a chinese buffet for lunch.
i got to eat everything!

then i got to drive a trolley and play till i was pooped at the mall.

dancing machine

check out my new ride. we cruise around the block and i blast the tunes every day. thanks nana and grandpa!!

June

i had a bit of a growth spurt last month.
most of my clothes don't fit me anymore!

I'm dancing on our new toilets. can't wait to get into our new house.
just a few more weeks!

there are lemons at our new house. they taste kind of funny

i went to lots of new places.
daddy showed me how to use the computer at the library...

...mommy and i picked flowers at the park...

...we watched pelicans eat fish at the wild animal park......i found a balloon at the chocolate street fair. then it flew away...

...i drove daddy in a firetruck at the mall...

...and had a blast at chuck e cheese!

Mid May

I love my after dinner walks,
especially when daddy gets home in time to come with us.

Pointing at things will have to do until i get my words dialed.
it seems to work fairly well.

mommy and daddy took me to the chicken pie shop in san diego. yum!

i've graduated to the big people tub.
although mommy still washes me in the sink sometimes.

hanging out with mom before she had to go to work on mother's day.
i got to spend the whole day with daddy.

we went to the park and daddy took lots of pictures.
i got in trouble for eating these.

this photo was taken when we played giant. i was the giant.

feeding myself

mom and dad don't think so, but i've gotten really good at this.

sink tub

i'm waiting my turn for a washing. the dishes were here first

good ol' parker

It's not that i don't like watermelon, it was just too darn cold!
and why the heck is dad trying to give it to me again?!!!

parker and i had lots of fun today. we pigged out at the chinese buffet...

...went for a drive in the rubber car...

...and crawled through some tree trunks at the mall

may day

May 2008. it's going to be a fun spring!

being goofy with daddy

finally, a family picture courtesy of mike fitz

with daddy's peanut head, and my gigantic head, i can almost wear his hats!

my bar

...throwing one back at the Flying Elephant. I'm a local here. They know me, they know my drink.

Emmy's got Tricks!

Ten months old and having a world of fun! look at all my mad skills!

April news

grandpa got me a wagon and it's not even my birthday!
Dolly and i love going for wagon rides.

i make daddy take us round and round the block. he needs the excercise.

Evie and John came to see me. They are on my A-list because they brought me a puppy dog. They talk funny.
i hate these dinky little things...
i can get so much more in my mouth with these spoons!

meet Dolly. she's my best doll

check out these chompers. that's four of them!

ripping paper is one of my favorite past times.
