Happy Birthday to...

Papa Terry and Grandma Judy! Can you believe it? Mommy's daddy and Daddy's mommy share the same birthday! So cool! Sending you both lots of hugs and kisses from Texas!
I posted a video today as my present to you both! Enjoy...

Q and A With Me...

Saturday on Lady Bird Lake with Sno Cups....

Today we played in the water fountains and had a yummy sno cup treat from Molly's. We had a combo of coconut and watermelon! This is the perfect way to keep cool in the Austin heat. We plan on making it our summer tradition!

In Living Color...

Okay, so this is the last post mommy and I will make of my photos Dore took...
We promise!!!

(We love the color ones, too! Don't you???)

Lilah...

Cheese...or should we say fromage?

Watch out Madonna...

We can "vogue" too!

"Lilah" giving me kisses!

My pal Eliza (Lilah) is so fun! I love when she comes to Austin to stay the night with me. I always love following her around, playing with her at the park, in my backyard, with my pup Otto, and at Barton Springs...the list goes on and on! It's also a great time at her pad, too! She has a fab pool and spa that I love to swim, swim, swim in. I can't wait for our Fourth of July party at her house!

Happy 16th Month Birthday to Me...

And...happy birthday to my fabulous Aunt Summer in NYC!
I sure hope Uncle David buys you something pretty!

These are some more of the beautiful pictures Dore took of me a few weeks ago. Mommy has more to post, but today we decided to go for the black and white look...

Tea Collection...

So serious...

Strike a pose and hold it...

Playing bashful...

Now I am playing silly!

Mommy and I absolutely love this dress by Tea Collection.
Ya Ya got it for me last month at our fav store Kissui in Redlands (mommy's hometown!)

My Papa Neal Was a Baker...

Baker's Burgers and Tacos

San Bernardino.CA

~1952~

There have been many articles in local California papers about my papa but this one is special...

Mommy wanted me to share it with our readers.

We think the writer really captured a slice of who my papa was...

An Inland Empire icon, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur, and most of all a devoted family man!

I am blowing you kisses toward heaven Papa.

I love you.

Sink Bath...

This is silly...
Oh, a bowl to play with...
Fill 'er up...
It's almost like a shower...
Happy girl (for the moment!)

This week has been hectic...phew! We got back to Austin Sunday afternoon and by Sunday night I came down with a fever. I have been little miss fussy pants all week (poor mommy)! One of the few things that have made me happy this week has been taking sink baths...great idea mommy! I love it!

Finger Puppets...

Who knew that olives and airplane ice would make such entertaining finger puppets?

Well, I figured this out all by myself. It probably helped that mommy showed me how to use my Manhatten Toy and Ikea finger puppets last week!

My personal favorite is the brunette mermaid puppet. My cousin Katelyn aka "Ttt" gave it to me on the day I was born. It has been a favorite toy of mine as well as my pal Eliza's when she visits. Mommy and daddy like to sing the Flight of the Concords "Mermaids" song when they play with it...

and they think I'm silly?

Misha Lulu and Stinky Pants

Mommy is in love with Misha Lulu and Stinky Pants!

Check out this blog and website for possibly the cutest girl clothes of the season!

Très jolie!

15 months part deux!

Acting silly...one of my favorite things to do!
Reading one of my favorites by Eric Carle!

Our pal Dore jut started her own blog and some of my pictures are featured on it! She is such a talented photographer...after a little break (she had baby Adalyn this fall) from snapping shots of weddings, pregnant ladies, and babies she is back!

If you are in need of capturing some memories, give her a buzz~

In Loving Memory Of My Papa Neal...

Carmel, California

December 2007

Papa Neal~I miss you so very much.

To me you were such a great pal...

the best great grandpa a little girl could ask for!

I loved playing the "thank you" game with you, visiting you and Nanie at your house (I loved all the attention you gave me), playing your piano, watching the birds and squirrels in your backyard, eating Ritz Crackers in the family room with you, pushing mommy's giraffe toy around the room while you watched, eating watermelon and Baker's quesadilla's and french fries with you in your kitchen, sitting on your lap, kissing your hand, and sharing in lots of quality time together this spring. Mommy enjoyed it too! We know you loved having us close by!

Papa Neal~ you will always be apart of me. Your spirit rests peacefully in my heart.

I love you...

xoxo,
