So, my mom was so excited to start this, but she's not doing a very good job at keeping it updated!  I guess that's partially my fault... I am a handful :)

I've been enjoying my summer.  We play outside almost everyday. I love my swing & my slide.  I'm finally getting the hang of the steps - although I did take a little fall a few weeks ago that scared my mommy & daddy a lot!  I got to use my sprinkler last week - that was a blast!  Even mommy & daddy ran through few times.

My cousin Tyler is turning 2 in a little over a week - mommy & Aunt Becky can't believe how fast we're growing up!  I heard he's having a Blue's Clue party, so I'm pretty stoked about that!  Hopefully mommy won't be such a slacker & will post some pictures of that shortly after it happens!

Mommy's going to add some pictures so everyone can see how much I'm growing :)

Recently I went to the beach with my mommy & daddy for the weekend.  We did all kinds of fun things.  I loved playing in the sand.  My daddy built lots of sandcastles & I liked to on stomp them.  Mommy started calling me "The Destroyer."  We went swimming in the pool & my favorite thing to do was ride on the golf cart. 

After the weekend was over, Mommy & I went back to the beach with Nana for the rest of the week.  We also had a blast.  We did some more playing in the sand.  We went to the pool & mommy put me under water.  Guess what..... I loved it!  One night we were out riding in the golf cart & it started to rain.... hard!  Mommy & Nana were screaming, but not me.... I thought it was so much fun.  I laughed & laughed!

We took lots of pictures!  Check them out....

I'm finally back from a nice long vacation at the beach & getting back into my normal routine!  I went to the beach for a weekend with Mommy & Daddy.  We had a great time playing in the sand & also in the pool.  Daddy was so proud of me for going under the water!

After we got back, Mommy & I went back to the beach a few days later with Nana.  We got to stay for 6 days!  I learned to blow bubbles at the pool, showed Mommy & Nana how fearless I was in the ocean & even got to play in the rain.  I loved riding around in the golf cart & playing songs & dancing with the "ya ya" (a Wiggles guitar) Nana brought.  We went to a park & I got to slide down a big swirly slide, swing on the swings, & see some guys playing the steel drums (although I wasn't very interested in them!).

I started daycare when I got back.... it's been a long week, I think I need another vacation :)
