Snacktime

This week I mastered crawling!  Life is so much more amazing when you can move on your own.  This morning I was getting a little hungry, so I decided to crawl over to the cabinet and see what I could have for a snack.

First, I checked out the Puffs...but them remembered that I think they are gross.

Next, I thought maybe I was in the mood for a bottle of formula, but I couldn't figure out how to open the bin.



Finally, I remembered that we went to the store this week & got apples.  They are one of my favorite foods, so I thought they would make a great snack.


Mom put a little cinnamon on the apples today.  They were so yummy!!  I wonder where I will crawl to tomorrow??

Cabin

This weekend Mom, Dad & I took our first trip this year to Oma & Grandpa's cabin!  I've only been there on other time when I was itty bitty, so I don't remember much of it.  But I can tell you this...it's such a fun place!

I rode in my 'Big Girl' car seat in Daddy's car on the way there.  It is so comfy & I also had my Monkeys to keep me company.

We got there pretty late on Friday & I had to get ready for bed right away.  Though I did have a few spare moment to practice my crawling skills.  I still only go backwards.

Saturday was full of fun.  I decided I would celebrate the fabulous time I was having by showing of something new...clapping!

That afternoon, Oma & Daddy went to lunch, so Grandpa & Mommy thought we should go outside for a walk.  I was so excited when i saw that I didn't have to ride in a stroller, but in a wagon instead!  Grandpa said he bought it a few years ago just waiting for a moment like this...



I loved the wagon!  Even though it's May and was pretty hot last week (in the 80s!) it was very cold outside.  Grandpa was nice enough to let me borrow a hat.  Of course it was Hunter Orange...we were in Wisconsin after all!

Saturday night was bath night, but Mom & Dad didn't bring my duck tub.  I thought maybe they wanted me to be smelly...until Oma showed me that her sink made a perfect tub!

I loved splashing in the bubble & playing with the water from the faucet.

Almost as much as I loved the hairdo that Oma gave me after I was done!

I had such a fun time at the cabin in Cumberland.  I'm so excited to go back again & see what else there is to do!

Art

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  To celebrate, my school is having "Spirit Week."  Each day we have a different theme to dress like & a different present to bring to our teachers to tell them how much we appreciate them.
Tomorrow, we are supposed to bring in a picture that we made, so tonight Mom & Dad helped me paint a picture for each of my 2 teachers!




Painting was amazing.  Mom put some paint on the paper & put them in a plastic bag so I was able to finger paint without making a mess...how cool is that??


I'm pretty sure these works of art will be worth a lot of money some day when I become a famous artist.

Zoo

Friday was a beautiful day, so my friend Liam & I decided that it would be a perfect day to go to the Zoo with our Moms.  It is probably my new favorite place...I even convinced Mom to get a membership so we can go back as much as we want!

I saw a lot of new animals.  Here are a few of my favorites:
Sea Otter
Watching the Sea Otter do summersaults in the water
Piglets 
Watching the Dolphin
And of course...MONKEYS!
While we were there we saw some of my other friends (Reese, Graham & Hugh) & their Moms.  It was so fun to introduce Liam to them.  Here we all are hanging out in the sun. 

I can't wait to go back to the Zoo soon.  Maybe next time I will wear my new outfit & hang out in the Monkey exhibit...
