Presidents' Day Tourist

We decided to play tourist in our own back yard this beautifully sunny Presidents' Day.  Our first stop on the tour was the Olympic Sculpture Park in downtown Seattle.  There is an open trail that zig zags gradually up a hillside between downtown Seattle and the waterfront.  What a wonderful view of Puget Sound!  Sprinkled along that trail are lots of large sculptures that are part of the permanent exhibit.  Click here to see all of the sculptures that are on display.  

Next we walked to Seattle Center for lunch.  They were having a music festival there and I got to watch lots of kids running and playing while we ate lunch.  On our way out we stopped at the amusement park that is on the grounds.  Boy, I can't wait until I am old enough to ride the rides.  There is a ferris wheel, a merry-go-round and even a little roller coaster among other rides.  I was mesmerized by all movement and noise from the rides and all the kids.

Daddy and Me Weekend

This was a Daddy and Me weekend.  We ran errands and went to the beach while Mommy worked on her portfolio.  We saw boats, dogs and lots of water.  I was sleepy when daddy took this picture.  I fell asleep as soon as we got back to the car.

Super Bowl Play Date

This is my friend Willie.  He is showing me how to play music with his toy.  Daddy, Mommy and I went to his house on Super Bowl Sunday.  Willie and I played while our parents watched the game and visited.  We had a lot of fun.  Willie has two older sisters who played with us.  All four of us crawled around on the floor and chased each other.  They made me giggle.
Not so sure that I wanted to crawl through.  So I didn't.

See what a big girl I am?

See what a big girl I am?  I can pull up to standing all by myself.  I don't even hardly put out any effort any more.  I stand, I sit, I stand, I fall, I crawl, I stand, I sit, I roll, I stand.  Sometimes I even forget to hold on when I am standing, but I don't fall.  Miss Meg across the street says that I will be walking before Easter.  The very day that she said that, Aunt Lila made the same comment and added that maybe I will be able to hunt Easter eggs too.  Ooooooh, how fun!
