Pinkletoes...

Hmm, what are these things?
Ahh, the sun feels delicious on my newborn skin...
I might want to roll around a little...
Maybe not!
Really??? Really???

Okay, mommy has tears in her eyes from viewing sweet bluebonnet pictures of a little girl on the blog of an Austin photographer. Check it out~you might just want to jet on over to Central Texas right now to take pics of your babe in the wildflowers. Here are pics of me last year in the bluebonnets...stay tuned for my pics from this year! P.S. Thanks Eliza's mommy for letting us know about Pinkletoes!!!

Fleurs...

As I have mentioned before, my mommy loves pretty things. Here are a few pretties at our home right now...the colors of the flowers are so yummy! Spring flowers are one of my new favorite things~I even enjoy smelling them! Happy Friday! Happy Life!

Bonne Nuit...

Chillin' with Uncle Armani...
Ready for bed...

Mommy and daddy kept me up past my bedtime...but, I had to get in one more cuddle with Ya and Papa Terry's cat Armani~because as you all know I am obsessed with cats! Meow!

My day continued with many more adventures as you can see. I pray you all had a joyous day with family and friends as I did.

My Easter Adventures...

Easter breakfast...
All done daddy!
What's this, a new purse???
I love it!
Books, too!

Have begun! I awoke this morning feeling refreshed after a solid nights rest...mommy, daddy, Ya, and Papa think something has changed in me over night. Have I become a toddler overnight??? If you asked any of them, they would say "yes!" I guess this is my Easter present to them! Here are some photos of me this sunny Easter morn...

On the road again...

Givin' some lovin' to my Easter bunny...
With mommy's giraffe toy!
Eating my new fav- Ritz Crackers...

while pushing the Ragedy Ann on the giraffe!

Mid March finds me back in sunny California. Mommy and I traveled here this week to bring some Texas sized loving to our family~especially my great-grandpa Neal. I think he is feeling better after all the wet kisses I have showered on him. I know he has enjoyed my sharing of Ritz crackers, too! Here I am at Nanie and Papa Neal's house playing with my mommy's giraffe toy she received on her 1st birthday oh so many years ago! It is still a fab toy...

My mommy is obsessed with...

Happy Easter...

A painting by Liza Hirst as seen on Abolutely Beautiful Things!

other people's blogs! She can't get off the computer...and I need her to play with ME!!! Well, she felt she must share 2 blogs that she adores for all those crafty, creative types like her. She really loves beautiful things- she can't help herself! So, the blog http://www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com/is a new fav.

She also enjoys Amanda Soule's soul mama blog!

I sure hope y'all have your priorities in line (unlike my mom!)

A tree grows in Austin...

Take a look at this whimsical creation...

Our bubble tree
Otto and I walking in the laundry room...

Playing with my new Leap Frog toy...
How the laundry room really looks!

I now have a tree growing in my laundry room!

My pal Eliza's mommy came up to Austin last week to paint it for us.

It truly is spectacular to see my mommy's idea come to life.

Thank goodness she has a friend who can interpret for her.

I would be scared to see my mommy's version.

Personally, I could probably paint better!

Eliza's mommy, Jen, is sooooooo talented~

I can't wait for her to come back and paint some more!

Paisley's world, party time, excellent...

My pals Mills, the birthday Prince...

Isn't he precious?
Webb and Aidan enjoying birthday sweets...

Hmm...not so sure about all these people!
My inquisitive look...

One of my obsessions...

playing with balls!

Colin likes soccer balls...
Hannah likes playing with balls too!

(is this a 1 year old thing or what?)

The birthday princess~Ava Strutting her stuff in her tutu!

This weekend was packed with parties. My pals Ava and Mills both turned 1! Welcome to the club friends! Here are some of my favorite pics from both parties...

Music Together...

Roll that little ball 'round the room...roll that little ball roll!
Our Class

Here are 2 pictures from my last day of music class. This week I brought my pal Eliza with me! Mommy got to experience what her world would be like with 2 kiddos...I don't think she is ready if you want my opinion (and that has nothing to do with my not wanting to share her!) I have truly enjoyed music class as I have already mentioned in previous posts. Right now I am obsessed with making water noises which I learned from a song in class- it is so much fun!

Saturday...

Grabbing my musical instruments out of my basket

(one of my favorite things to do!)

I am having a lovely day with mommy and daddy. Today both of them came to music class with me, we grabbed a bite to eat, mommy took me for a wagon ride, and daddy pushed my in my new swing...This afternoon I get to go to my pal Ava's 1st birthday party. I am so excited!!! I will post pictures of the party later. I am off to take a nap and so is mommy!!!

Bathtime with Otto...

All smiles...
Playing with my duck...
Hmm, not so sure about sharing...
Okay, you can play with my toys if you want to!

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is taking a bath.

Mommy thinks I inherited this love of warm water and bubbles from her!

This week I experienced a first- sharing a bath with my pup Otto. I think I will stick

to soaking solo but it was fun!
