I've just been hanging out lately, not much to report, but here are some pictures and videos.
This is my telescope-
And here I am with my cool computer from Great-Aunt Debi. I'm finally starting to figure out how to use it. I can play the alphabet game where it asks me to find a letter on the keyboard. I'm pretty good at that one.
Here's a video of me using one of my bubble toys as a magnifying glass:
Here's my buddy Owen.
Today we went to the playground-
I liked finding all the o's and e's on the sign. I know most of my letters now, but usually only in uppercase. They get a little tricky in lowercase!
Last week, Mommy and I drove to Virginia to visit with Grandpa George. They say Atlanta is hot, but boy, was Hamilton hotter! It didn't bother me much because I had so many things places to explore at Grandpa's house. Here we are in the garden...
Grandpa had a tent for me to play with. It was awesome.
I liked visiting with the fish in the fish pond. And I never even fell in.
One day, we went to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum.
They had a ton of planes. I call planes "tee," because they look like the letter t.
I liked checking out the computer stations where you could see the cockpits of different planes.
Sometimes when Mommy and Grandpa weren't doing what I wanted, I had to put my foot down. And the rest of my body. Usually accompanied by a few "no's!"
We went up in the observation tower where you could see planes coming in to land at Dulles Airport. I was more interested in my cars.
Later that day, I went to the playground with Grandpa
And I ate some delicious spaghetti. I find the fork is more for decoration, really
On Friday, Mommy and I met up with Ms. Keri and her kids in D.C.
We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. There were lots of exhibits, but mostly I ran around.
Here I am with Baby Roxie and Ian around a Neanderthal campfire exhibit.
And here I am tickling Baby Roxie.
Ian and I were checking out an exhibit with fossils.
We found a discovery room for kids just my age. They had all sorts of science tools we could use.
My favorite were the binoculars.
Here's our attempt at a group shot:
We had a great time in Virginia and I loved visiting with everyone. I didn't even mind the drive back (much) and I was happy to get home to see Daddy, the cats, and my toys.
Keep cool!
Q
We haven't been up to anything very exciting lately, so there haven't been many pictures to share. Just a lot of playgrounds, trucks, and trains. Today we went blueberry picking with my friend Art and his mommy. I didn't get into the picking much, but I did a lot of eating! Mommy forgot her camera, so we took pictures of today's bath instead so we'd have something to share.
I gave my farm animals a bath, too. Here's the pig-
And here's the donkey-
Daddy came home during my bath, here's how happy I was to see him!
Happy 4th of July, everyone!!
We've been pretty busy celebrating this week-
On Thursday, Mommy and I did some patriotic sponge painting. I did the stripes, Mommy did the stars.
On Friday, we had a barbecue with our friends, the Burns, at their neighborhood pool. I had fun swimming, but I really had fun playing with the big kids in the sand volleyball pit. I helped by carrying buckets of water back and forth.
On Saturday, we went hiking at Stone Mountain.
I started out walking, but I ended up riding in Daddy's backpack. He needed help reading the map.
I liked finding the white trail markers on the trees and the rocks.
And of course, we found a playground. Whenever I see one, I say, "park!" until I convince Mommy and Daddy to let me play on it.
Today my friend Art came over to play and we went out to lunch.
This evening we went downtown for a picnic. They had a concert of patriotic music. I danced a little and wandered around.
We didn't quite make it to the fireworks- it's still a little past my bedtime. Maybe next year I'll see what all the fuss is about!
Happy 4th of July!!
Today while Mommy was getting dressed, I found her camera. I thought I would spend some time getting some good pictures of the stairs. They really are an interesting subject. I'm thinking of becoming a photographer. Here are some of my best shots:
