St. Patrick's Day Parade!

These guys came from Canada to march. It must have been a pain for them to get here too, cuz now all travel requires a passport to get in. UGH! No more random trips "abroad" for us. (I've never been to Canada before)
This was my first time hearing a bagpipe. I liked it very much. I think they are funny instruments and the outfits are really brightly colored so they are lots of fun to look at!

Check out this guy's shoes! I have never seen anything like them! I can't believe how much he looks like a leprechaun!
The beard and hair are REAL! This guy should have been marching in Chicago!
One of the bagpipe corps that marched.
Behind me is the other bagpipe corps. I wanted to sing along with them! "When Irish eyes are smiling..."
Someone captured Lucky!

Me & Daddy

Me and Daddy on the front porch
Let me check out this camera thing...What happens if I get really close????
Daddy makes me feel safe!
Mine and Daddy's hands

Me & my cousins

Me and Jacob. He's almost 4!
Me and Jacob and his brother Noah. They are my cousins.

Me and Mommy

I love to snuggle my mommy. She's soft and smells nice.
Look at me!!! I am SO BIG!
My very first parade...Lookout though...my pants are falling down.
Me and mommy wore matching shirts to the hockey game.
On the front porch on the first nice day since last fall.

Learning a ton

Look at me! I am learning to hold myself up so I can see my toys while on my belly. I still really dislike playing on my belly though. Maybe soon I can figure out how to roll over so mommy and daddy can't leave me like this to play.
I love my mommy. We snuggle together every day! You should try to snuggle your mommy whenever you can! Trust me, as Martha would say, it's a good thing!

Rudolf the Red Nosed Ainsley...Had a very shiney nose...mommy and daddy think its funny to play silly games...In this one they put a present bow on my nose. Grampa and Maui gave me this cool new bathtub toy. If you pull the string in the back it zooms through the water! Also good for tasting.
Every night I take a bath. It's important to be squeaky clean...especially when you spit up as much as me! :D

This is my valentine from Mommy and Daddy. I enjoy holding it and chewing on it.

Maui's special hat

This is my new Valentine's Day dress. My cousin Emma's Grandma Ann gave it to me. Isn't it a beautiful dress??? :) I love it because it is so soft to wear!
Friends like Piglet make great chew toys! I'm just learning to explore using my mouth.

My Maui made this hat for me on the airplane on her way home from Emma's house.

My Nana crocheted this cape for me. My daddy says I look so beautiful in lilac!
My Papa got caught holding me. He is a silly Papa!
Mommy and Daddy enjoy making treats. This is what they made with Brian and Shannon for Valentine's weekend. They said it was so yummy...all I got was milk! :(

Wow! The world looks even bigger from up here!!!!

I'm just learning to play with toys. They fall out of my hands a lot but they are still fun. :)

Me and Daddy like to hang out together. This was just before bedtime.
Look, Mommy even attached some rattles to my ankles so I make sounds when I kick. I like that part!!!

Shake, RATTLE & Roll

My "Grandma Laura" (from Daddy's work) gave me this silver rattle. It makes fun noises and I like to play with it.

My Papa said he would like to eat chocolate covered bugs someday. Well Papa shouldn't speak without thinking cuz Mommy and Daddy bought him some! :) It was so funny to watch him eat bugs ON PURPOSE! My cousin Jacob would never eat a bug! But Noah would! I don't know about Malachi...he's pretty quiet. I've never seen him eat a bug. My Papa is silly!

This is my new jumparoo. It is supposed to make noises but Mommy hasn't put any batteries in it yet. I'm really still too short but sometimes I like to play in it anyway. :D



This is my friend Pooh Bear. I like to wear him on my shirt. Isn't he cute? My whole room is deocrated with him.

Lots has been going on!

Me and my Nana at Daddy's big fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Nana took me around to see all the auction items.

Me and my daddy! I love my daddy very much!

"No no, not the tickle bugs!!!"

I love to get squirted with my bath toys!

I'm supposed to be napping but I'll just lie here quietly instead! See how I put my hands behind my head??? Just like Daddy when he's on the couch.

Just hangin' out!
