Merry Christmas from our crazy house!

I haven't updated the blog in awhile because I've been really busy! I love to play with my toys and find new things to entertain myself. Especially, dressing Kona up! This was all my idea and my good puppy just sat there and took it! I hope Santa brings her a big bone for Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday too! (and so do my parents ;) )

So, lately I've loved to hang upside down, swing on my parents' legs, etc. I'm really an all-around acrobat. The more flips, swings and other crazy stuff my dad does to me, the happier I am! Mom has a hard time flinging me up into the air now that she has a baby in her belly.

Happy Halloween!

Hello again! I had a wonderful and busy Halloween. I had so much fun passing out candy or "mee mee" as I like to call it. I passed out almost all the candy to about 150 trick-or-treaters! Whew, was I ready for bed after that. But Halloween was fun for me. Even though I don't eat candy, I loved passing it out and seeing all the pumpkins. I even started saying "pumpkin" in my sleep! How silly is that! I hope you had a fun and safe Halloweeen too!

Happy Halloween everyone. I LOVE pumpkins. Can you tell by my facial expression? Mommy, Daddy and I went to the pumpkin patch and picked out some pumpkins. I saw the field of them and screamed with joy! Daddy pushed me in the wheelbarrow the whole way around the field. That was a lot of fun. I got to see elk, water buffalo, goats, and of course..... Pumpkins! It was a blast.

I like to help Mommy and Daddy carve them too! I'm becoming a wonderful helper these days! Just in time to help with my little brother or sister!

Hello, I cannot believe how long it has been since I was on here last. My how time flies, especially when my mommy starts working again. We've been so busy around here. Our basement is getting finished right now, so our house is a big mess, but it will be really cool to have more room to run around! This is a picture of me and my daddy (and Kona too) at the park. I wanted to go on the biggest and steepest slides... I like adventure! I am talking more and more each day and my mommy and daddy think I am so much fun right now. But, you should
probably come
and visit and find out for yourself! ;)












I also love being silly. Here I am at Deanna's Playhouse with my cousins. I got to play with Parker, Macabe and Bennett that morning, it was so much fun. I love funny noises and faces and a whole lot more! I am learning how to jump on a trampoline, and by my face I think you can tell how silly it feels!

Step by Step

Well, well, what can I say? You just have to concentrate really hard, put one foot in front of the other, and hope you don't fall. It helps if you hold your hands in fists too. I just started walking and I am liking it more and more as the days go on. I have just started to venture off on my own with no particular destination in mind. Do you like my fine piece of jewelry? My Mommy and Daddy think I am going to be a girly girl! I walk around all day with my rings as bracelets! Oh, the dresses and dolls to come!

I have had lots of time at the beach lately too. I went to Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah's cottage and we played in the sand. I love the sand and the water. I think I could sit all day long on a beach chair... just like the grown-ups! I am growing up so fast and I have 5 teeth already with 5 more working there way through!

It's Party Time!!!!

Well, do I look any different????.... I am one!!!!!!!

I'm Crawling!

Wow! It has been awhile since I saw you last. Life has been pretty busy around here. Or should I say, I have been pretty busy. I am now officially crawling and I go everywhere. I love to crawl to the door and look outside, just like my doggy, Kona, taught me!










Here I am at the Kite Festival at the beach in Grand Haven. It was a really cold May day so Grandpa had me wrapped up like a burrito. Oh look, Grandma is the little lady standing on my shoulder! The kites were so fun to watch, they even danced to music!

South Carolina or Bust!

I got to go on my first week long vacation. My family and I visited Isle of Palms in South Carolina. We met up with Grandma and Grandpa Lepard, Uncle Matt and family, Aunt Sarah and family, and Aunt Whitney and family. We all rented a house on the isle called the Casa Banana. We all had a great time together and relaxed on the beach and around the pool. If you want to see more about my adventure, follow the link below to see a picture slideshow.

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring to you all! I had a wonderful and low-key Easter. I am really glad that it is getting nicer outside so that I can go for more walks and maybe even play outside soon. Here is a picture of me in my Easter dress. Who knew that there would be snow on the ground on Easter morning?

It's that time of year. I am ready to go on vacation. I'm headed to South Carolina with my Lepard fam. You always have to practice your shade wearing abilities before you go! I borrowed daddy's sunglasses to see if I have "the look".

I also wanted you to see my new trick. Scooting! I can get to my belly and push myself around in a circle and go backwards, but I'm not so sure about going forward yet. I can go really fast on the tile floor though! I am getting better every day at pulling myself up onto mom and dad and shorter things around the house. You should come and visit me some time soon.... I'm a whole lot of fun!

"Sunshine On My Shoulders Makes Me Happy"

Wow... It has been so long since I've been on here. Over a month! Time is really flying and I am getting bigger and cuter (if I may say so myself) by the day. I have really been liking all the sunshine that I've been seeing. Mom and I have started to get back into our daily walks now that it isn't so snowy and quite as cold. As you can see I'm basking in the sun and just taking it all in. I hope you're enjoying it too!


















The other day cousin Mac came to play for a little while. Seeing him army crawl makes me want to crawl that much more. I am starting to pull myself up and as you can see, sitting up really well. Sometimes I get a little upset when I want to crawl, but can't get any further than my tummy.

Cousin Mac will be one year old! Wow! Happy Birthday Macabe, I love you and am so glad that we get to play together.

"Will Bill"

Hi again! I'm so excited to be with my friend Will. We had another play-date. Boy does he make me giggle. He likes to show me how to do the "superman" and we teach eachother new things all the time. I'm so lucky; he just lives across the street from me! Thanks for all the fun, Will!

Close Encounters of the Furry Kind

Woa Kona! That is awfully close. I love my puppy Kona. She always makes me laugh when she runs to fetch her ball or licks my entire face all in one wet slobbery kiss. I am starting to really notice her more. I like to pet her and try to grab quick handfulls of her hair! Thanks for putting up with me Kona!

So, do you think I am getting too big for this bouncy seat? My mom and dad looked over and I was sitting up in it watching my movie. I'm getting quite good at sitting up on my own. I tip over less and less these days. I'm almost six months old and growing so fast!

"O Little Town of Bethlehem"

I wish you and your family many smiles, moments of laughter and much joy this new year. May it be a year for many wonderful moments spent with family and friends. Happy New Year!

Well, it is not very often that you get to spend your first Christmas ever playing the role of baby Jesus in the Christmas pageant at church. But, your looking at my mommy playing Mary, daddy as Joseph and me as baby Jesus. It was fun but I certainly didn't want to be put in the manger.
