May 2010

It's May and I'm now over a year and a half--19 months to be exact. We thought Spring would have sprung, but we still were getting snow in New Mexico when we visited my Grandma Laura earlier this month! Talk about "In-law Weather"--one minute it was nice and sunny, then the wind would pick up, then it would rain, then it would hail, then it would snow, and THEN the sun would come out and melt all the snow to make mud. Ahhh, New Mexico. :)
Before we left, my dad wanted to make sure I had some fun, so we went bike riding and went to see some trains at Griffith Park. Afterwords, my mom and I were off to New Mexico to see my Grandma Laura, my uncles, aunties, and cousins. I kept in touch with my dad by phone and even got to play with a Blackberry.
I'm learning more words and have grown some as well. My dad can attest to these changes since he didn't see me for a couple of weeks. I can say two word sentences like: "More, please." "No more." "All done." and "Bye, Gamda (Grandma)." I'm pretty much a 19 month old human parrot. I mimic what my mom and dad say all the time, so there are a lot of English, Swiss German and some Navajo words flying around our household. Mom is amused by this and dad is just plain fascinated by my eagerness to try to say new things.
Anywho, have a good May...and before I forget, here are some pictures of our latest adventures:

That's me enjoying a bike ride with my dad.

I got to see all kinds of trains. I wasn't sure if this was moving yet, so I was standing very still.

Chatting away with my daddy while at Grandma's house. And, yes, that is barbecue sauce on my shirt.

It was all fun and games until I started calling strangers on the phone.
