For my grandpa's birthday, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Toni, Uncle Eric and I gave him a gift card to Joe's Crab Shack. They didn't get to go until February though, because I was supposed to arrive right around Grandpa's birthday. So...Here's our pictures of our really fun trip!
Everyone who was there. How come I'm the baby and I'm the ONLY one not in a bib????
I got this shirt for free from the manager of the restaurant because it took them SO long to seat our party.
"Ok, Maui! I got my mallet, now where's my crab???"
Daddy has to wear a bib because he's as messy as me!

Me and Granpa are having some good times!

Grandpa is so silly! He thinks he's a pirate...everyone knows that pirates don't wear sweaters, Grandpa!

Daddy, those are for smacking your crab, not for wearing on your head! Didn't anyone ever teach you about eating crabs???

No, no, no...you're NOT the crab! It's on your plate...smack the crab on your plate, Daddy! Didn't your mommy ever tell you that if you make faces like that it will freeze that way???

Ok, Granpa...just hold still and I'll grab the crab out of your hair...Ooops, that WAS your hair... :-) Sorry, Grandpa.

My First Hockey Game

Daddy took me and Mommy to see the Saginaw Spirit on the 16th. It was really cool to see those guys zooming around on the big white ice rink. Daddy's work gave him the tickets and we got these t-shirts free with them. :) Mine is so big that it is like a dress but I wanted to fit in with all the other fans so no one would know that I'm a first timer. :-D Mommy and Daddy even got to park for free cuz they shared their fries with the parking attendant and he gave them a PRIMO spot...so while everyone else was waiting to get out of the garage we were already on our way home and I was sleeping snuggly in my carseat. Daddy says we should bring fries to all events...
Because the score of the two teams totaled 7 after the game, we got vouchers for free slurpees at 7 Eleven. They are the major sponsors of the Saginaw Spirit. In the end, our team beat the Sarnia, Ontario, Canada team in an overtime shootout. I'm sad in this picture because Mommy says I'm too little to eat my free slurpee so she's going to let Daddy eat it for me! NO FAIR!

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 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!!!
