playing in the backyard...

Swim lessons are back in session...

I had a few weeks off but now we are back in business. I have been pretty excited about starting swim lessons at a new YMCA with new instructors. I am the oldest one in my new class so I really have to have my "A" game on, the babies are looking to learn a few things from me.:)

I knew Daddy would love this place!

So as I expected, Daddy really enjoyed Lake Mohegan. We had so much fun running in the sprinkler, playing on the slide and swimming in the lake. I love this place!

Lake Mohegan

Mommy has hooked us up for the summer! This place has a playground, really big sprinkler system, lots of sand to dig in, and a huge lake to play in. Today me and Portia (and mommys too) had a great time. I can't wait to take Daddy, he will love it.

Happy Birthday to Ella, Aidan, Scarlett & Kate!

Today was such a big day for many of my friends... everybody is turning 2 so quickly. As you can see we enjoyed a great party complete with lots of play, lunch, arts & crafts and CAKE! Thanks to Ella and her Mommy for hosting and Happy Birthday to all my friends.

2 year old update...

for those interested, I had my 24 month appointment w/ Dr. Lori Friday and all is great. I weighed in at 28 lbs-8.5 oz and I am 35 1/2 inches tall. I passed my developmental quizes with no problem, thank goodness Dr. Lori had on a "GAREEEN" shirt.:) Those that know me, know I call everything green first. I did run into a problem, the nurse came in yet once again with needles! I was not even phased by the fingerstick but the shots in the leg simply made me MAD. Oh well, I recovered quickly and all was good in about 45 seconds.

A party to remember...

I had such a great time today with all my friends. Charlotte, Mia, Portia, Alex, Owen, Olivia, Ella, Aidan, Emma and Scarlett all came over today to party. We played, ate lunch and enjoyed a Blue's Clues cake. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful friends in my life and thank each and every one for taking time to celebrate my 2nd birthday with me.

Who's 2 today???

ME!!!! The festivities will begin a little later and you know Mommy will be sharing the fun w/a post later this afternoon.

Part II of Katelyn, Nana & Uncle Joseph...

The fun has continued all weekend! We had our pictures made together, played in the pool and the sprinkler, read many stories in my room etc... I have had such a great time wrestling in the floor w/ Uncle Joseph and my Nana is the best story reader ever!!!

Look who is visiting ME(part I)

My Nana, Uncle Joseph and cousin Katelyn are here in CT visiting. We are having a fabulous time. Katelyn and Nana joined me and Mommy on our playdate Friday at the playground. Katelyn is a bit younger than my group but she had a great time, especially on the swings.

A really fun playdate with Portia...

What fun we had playing in the sprinkler, painting on the rocks, running with the pool noodles and eating pizza!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

We have had alot of fun with the holiday festivities! Last night we enjoyed a great fireworks show where I narrated the entire time with "BOOM" and "POW, POW". I got to stay up extra late but was not about to sleep in this morning, oh no, I was ready to play. Today we played in my new pool, ran through the sprinkler, had some BBQ ribs and hotdogs. Okay, so I really had tater tots, fish sticks and LOTS of watermelon but whatever. :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

A stroll around Yale campus...

Me and Mommy have struggled to find things to do lately on days with no playdates etc... The weather is lousy in CT and if the sun shows up you better look quickly because it is gone in a few hours. Anyway, we took in a change of scenery and strolled around Yale, what a beautiful place to hang.
