Catching up after too long

It's been too long since Daddy posted to the blog, so get ready for a lot of new pictures.

Meet my new rocking horse, Neigh! It was supposed to be a Christmas prestent, but I didn't get it until February. I think it was a lot more work than Daddy expected.

Mommy and Daddy finally bought me a potty after I asked and asked. I don't use it all that often, but I'm starting to use it more. It plays music when I do my business!

Easter Egg hunts ROCK!! I got all kinds of goodies. I've decided that I don't like chocolate all that much, but opening plastic eggs full of gold fish crackers is one of my favorite things.

Daddy made the mistake of showing me how to blow dandilions. Now the yard is full of them and there will be even more to blow next year!









































Even though I filled the yard with dandilions, I have started helping Mommy and Daddy with yard work. Putting mulch in the flowerbeds is lots of fun but mulch doesn't taste too good.

Being in the doghouse isn't a bad thing for me. It's actually a lot of fun to hang out there even though Ranger and Ruger don't usually use it.

Ruger is my best buddy! He even lets me sit on him to watch TV.

I love walking in Daddy's shoes. It doesn't matter if he's wearing them or not.

I went to Carolina Beach, NC with Mommy, Daddy, Gran, Papa, and Grandma James. I had a great time!

I got to touch a horseshoe crab at the NC Aquarium.

One day while I took a nap, it rained a LOT. Afterwards, Mommy, Daddy and I went walking through puddles. What fun!

Look Grammy, I like crabs!

Chasing seagulls and building sand castles were soooo much fun. I never got a seagull, but I sure tried.

After we got back from the beach, I got to help Daddy wash Ranger! I loved it, but Ranger wasn't really in to it.

I liked the ocean so much, I decided to have one put in our front yard. It's not quite as bit, but we don't have to drive for hours and hours to get to it.

Over the 4th of July weekend, the DC James gang came to visit. We took them to the zoo and had lots of fun.

I got to play vet at the Wee Play area, aren't you proud Aunt Terri-Lee?

Cousin Bayla and I also spent a lot of time in the sand box at Kids Cove. It was fun to spend time with them. I kept asking where they went after they went back to DC.

Another day of FIRSTS!!

Today was a VERY big day. Andie got to sled for the first time! She loved sledding in our front yard, to the point of not wanting to get in the truck to go to the park to really sled.

When we finally made it to the park, Mommy and Daddy made the mistake of pulling the sled past the playground. Needless to say, we only did a couple of runs before someone decided that we needed to play on the slides and swing.

When we left the park, we went to buy the big girl potty that Andie has been talking about for a couple of weeks now.

As soon as Andie saw the potty, she sat down on it. Daddy ask if she wanted to use the potty and Andie said, "Potty!" With a little help from Mommy and a bit of time, Andie used the big girl potty for the first time!! After that, Andie asked to potty over and over again.

The 3rd first of the night was eating Chinese food for dinner. She's been a fan of Mexican food for a long time, but tonight was the first time for Chinese and she really liked it.

As per Miss Amy's instructions, I'm updating the blog.

Just having some fun with Mommy, Daddy, and the dogs. Grammy and Pop Pop, use the other one.
