Rock 'n' ROLL

I've been away from the computer for some time due to the fact that I have been busy learning a new trick -- how to roll over from my back to my belly. I still can't do belly to back -- that one incident a few weeks ago was purely an accident -- but MAN have I got back to front down pat.I also turned 4 months old yesterday! Here's my "birthday" pic.I spent a lot of time with my CT family this week -- I spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa's house with Mommy on Wednesday, and they also visited us on Saturday to help power wash the house -- it is gleaming, baby! Sam, Brady, Uncle Mike and Aunty Kerry also came up to see us in their new car, but we didn't take any pics.

Today I went to my first parade, in downtown Simsbury. We followed that up with an exciting barbecue at Mommy's friend's house.

I'm Back!

Whew! We made it back home to CT, but you try sitting in a car seat for 730 miles and see how much you want to cry. Especially when you're facing the back seat and aren't tall enough to look out the window! But I did get to visit my first foreign country (Canada counts, right?) and use my brand new passport!

I also got to meet LOTS and LOTS of relatives. Here's me with Uncle Andy:

And Cio Cia Pat:

And Aunty Leah:

I met Uncle Joey, Uncle Jim and Aunt Marcella, too! And TONS of cousins, including Therese, Cindy, Jimmy, Andy, Kelly, my future Godmother Anne, Alek, and Annika! Alek didn't want to have too much to do with me (those are his pouty folded arms in the background of the first pic), but Annika LOVED posing for pictures with me:We went to Annika's pre-school graduation breakfast:While we were in MI, Aunty Leah and Uncle Joey got Annika and Alek a puppy named Pepper! He's so cute, and he kept on licking me and laying on me. But Mommy didn't get any pictures of us.

We did get some pics of me with Mommy's good good friend Bevin (aka Benniva):Mommy and Bevin are a little crazy when they're together. They thought it would be fun to dress me up like a member of the T-birds (or like Schneider). But oh baby oh, did we have fun with that girl!

On Vacation!

Sorry there won't be any pics this week, I'm on vacation visiting my family in Michigan. See you next week!

I rolled over!

Sorry, no pic of the actual front to back act of rolling over, but I did it this morning for the first time ever! Mommy was screaming and cheering so loudly -- I had no idea she could get so excited about a little position change. And I don't remember how I did it so I haven't been able to do it again. But I will!

Basket Case

There's nothing like the smell of fresh, clean laundry -- especially diapers!

Sunny Sunday

Mommy and Daddy took me to a Spring Sheep Shearing/Fiber Arts Festival at Holcomb Farm yesterday. We saw medieval weavers and spinners, a sheep shearer, ducks, snakes, spiders, turtles...and more!

Then we went to Grandma & Grandpa's house. The flowers on the trees in their yard are beautiful!Gigi was there, and so were my cousins, Sam and Brady. We all hung out on Grandpa's lap.

I think I scared Mommy last week. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning on Tuesday and just felt like it would be fun to cry. Really loudly. And not stop. For 7 hours. When I finally stopped crying, Mommy wasn't smiling as much as she usually does. Come on, I was just having some fun!

Day of the cousins

Hi everyone! I was pretty happy today, yay! This morning I went to visit Sam, Brady and Aunty Kerry. Did you know that they gave me their Jump-a-Roo to use? I just started playing with it this week, and I LOVE it!!!
Then my cousin Lauren came to visit me -- she was FUN! Even though I took a big nap shortly after she arrived, we still had a good time playing together.
