Sitting

I found a new way to sit in my chair

Vivi at school

I play outside

I carry my own lunch and sweater to my classroom

I pick leaves from the garden to eat

Things you can do with blocks...

There are so many things you can do with blocks...

Look at the pictures - this one has a frog on it

lay on them

put them in a box

walk on them

Stack them

Cari's wedding - Vivi's point of view

We went to Cari's wedding. Cari and my mommy have known each other since 7th grade!

These girls threw flower petals on the ground. I like to tear petals off of flowers and throw them on the ground, too. They probably got the idea from watching me do it.

Carlos sat nicely with his Daddy and watched the ceremony.

Calvin also sat nicely with his Mommy and Daddy and watched the ceremony.

Not me. I went running about.

Maybe I need to tear off some more flower petals to put in the girls' baskets.

That lady has a scarf over her head but doesn't appear to be playing peek-a-boo. Is this a new game?

Carson with his Mommy and Daddy.

Darlene (baby) is Carson's new little sister - but she's already almost as tall as me. She's hanging out with Wendy.

This lady in the white dress seems to be in charge. I think I'll stay close to her.

Mommy and her friends. They've known each other a LONG time - since 1987.

A Picnic

We went to a picnic. There were ducks,

and a doggy.

Forget tricycles - I'm ready for a scooter

I ran away with Carson's monkey

Stacking rings, cups, and dust

Now that Vivi has mastered putting rings on the post, she is improvising.

And she is dusting! (not sure where she learned that skill - I'm sure she's never seen us dust anything).

To the pool

This way to the pool.

I've got my duck in hand and my duck robe. I am ready.

We'll let the duck test the waters first.

At the zoo

Look Sara, a duck!

Vivi's "duck"

Bye bye duck!

Little helper

Vivi snagged the dish towels right off the towel rack...

..and started cleaning the floor!

14 (and a half) months

 We were in Canada when Vivi turned 14 months and have been very busy since then. So we are finally getting 14 month photos. Vivi is a busy little toddler these days.

Blowing kisses

Happy Birthday Owen!

At another birthday party - Owen turned 1. I got a balloon.

Look how close the train is!

We got to play in the sand.

This is Owen and me one year ago - he was just a few days old. I was 8 weeks old.

Earth Day Festival

I played in the dirt

Played with blocks made out of a tree

Played the drums

Talked to a big doggy

A close look at my upper teeth coming in.
