Butterfly preserve

We went on little hike today at the butterfly preserve

Older and wiser Jane gave me advice on toddlerhood

Oh the mischief we two will make - as soon as I can walk

 Earlier today...

I pulled out the storage bin and found some toys

Injury reports

Vivi has come home from daycare with injury reports everyday this week. Little bumps and bruises from her attempts to walk.

Tunnels, Ovens, and Firetrucks

Three posts in one day! It's too much I know, but Vivi's been busy...

now I have a tunnel to push my cart through

I have to duck as I go under.

And then I scooted my cart over to the oven and climbed up - I can push the buttons!

Looks like Mommy and Daddy need to up their child-proofing game.

Then I went to a birthday party - they had a REAL fire truck.

I sat in the front seat.

Vivi's bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down

I like to crawl under things these days so Mommy built a bridge for me to crawl under.

I think I improved it.

This week Vivi saw her first movie - The Muppets - at the drive-in.

Look at me go!

Climbing the walls

When I went to visit Vivi at lunch today, she was literally climbing the walls (windows) at daycare. Here are some photos. They were taken with my phone, so the quality isn't very good.

Look what I did.

Look what I did.

I got myself into my push toy. I'm supposed to push it around to practice walking - but if I'm in it, Mommy pushes me around. Wheee.

Playing at the zoo.

Who needs a jungle gym when I've got Daddy?

Happy 2012!

More pics from trip to Arizona

We went out to a beautiful lake and took pictures of the bike daddy made for my uncle.

I climbed on rocks in the snow

My cousins Ewan and Allie played on the swings with me.

Shh... don't tell Summer I'm going to get her headband.

Got it!

Let's check that I.D.

All this effort to get dad's beer - and it's empty!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's

Christmas at Granny's

Inspecting my uncle's bike (my cousin Summer is hiding behind me)

My new kitchen!

Summer and I made soup.

I think the soup needs a Christmas ornament. Yummy.

Mirror mirror on the wall

Vivi is interacting with herself at a full length mirror.

Videos

Two videos - the first one is of Vivi giggling. 

This one is of Vivi "helping" with the Laundry.

Presents - round 1

Can I open this one ... pleeeeaaaasssee?

 It's a box. Yay! I love boxes.

What about these big socks? Is there stuff in there too?

I got a puzzle.
