Fun at the Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum for the first time a couple months ago and it was so fun. They have a grocery store, doctor's office, bus, and all kinds of things that are just my size. There was also a special Bob the Builder exhibit so I got to see all my favorite characters. We got a pass for the year so I can go back and play as much as I want. Yeah!

Mmm...Cookies!

Mommy and I made cookies awhile ago and I was such a good helper. I put every ingredient in the bowl (well except the eggs) and stirred them up. I also did an excellent job of taste testing the dough and resulting cookies. The gooey melted chocolate chips were the yummiest thing ever!

Here's some video of me helping:

Beach Trip with Nana

On the first nice weekend of the year we went on a quick day trip to the beach with Aunt Stacie, Uncle Steve, Aunt Alyssa, and Nana. We went to Seaside and played on the beach. I loved the sand and Nana loved the water. I thought the water was nice too, but I wasn't going to lay down in it like Nana; she's crazy! Daddy built a big tunnel for me in the sand, but I was too scared to go in it.

Finally we drove to Cannon Beach for dinner and ice cream. It was my first time eating ice cream and it was great. I got my own spoon and stole bites from everyone so I could try all the different flavors. I think chocolate was my favorite.

Happy Easter

Easter was so much fun this year. Finding eggs is my favorite game and I still play it months later. I was really sick the week before Easter with pneumonia and ear infection, but thankfully I got better just in time for the weekend. On Saturday, we went to the Sturm family Easter and Aunt Betty had an Easter basket with my name on it filled with goodies from the Easter bunny. I got my first taste of chocolate and it was so yummy! I had so much fun playing with my cousins and riding the 4-wheeler and mule.

Easter morning I woke up and found an Elmo basket from the Easter bunny and then looked for the eggs that he hid around the house. Then we went to Gammy and Paba's for Easter breakfast. We came home so I could take a nap, and then we had more Easter fun with Caden and Nana at our house in the afternoon. Caden had special eggs that were hid just for him in harder spots, but I found them anyway. I was an egg-finding pro by this point.

Family Vacation in San Diego

This is old news now, but in March we went on a family vacation to San Diego. It was so much fun. I got to spend a whole week with mama, dada, Uncle Trav, Gammy, Paba, GG, and Pa. We stayed in condos in Oceanside right next to the harbor and I loved going for walks to see the boats. We went to the Wild Animal Park, San Diego Zoo, and Sea World.

My favorite parts of the trip were the carousel at Wild Animal Park, the penguins at Sea World, berries for breakfast, and of course playing with everyone. Mommy's favorite part of the trip was taking me to Paba every morning when I woke up at 6:00 and then going back to bed. This trip was also the beginning of my wonderful talking skills, I learned lots of new words and started saying more and more everyday.

Here's some pictures and video of our fun times:
