Baby Update

Today, I got to go to the doctor with Mom to listen to my baby's heartbeat for the first time. My baby and me are already trying our best to give Mom a hard time together. When the doctor was trying to find the baby, I wanted to sit with Mom on the table, then of course I wanted to get back down. So, Mom was trying to hold on to me and then the doctor said the baby squirmed away when Mom had flexed her muscles trying to hold me. So, I had set a good example for the baby and stand and wait patiently so that the baby could scoot back up for Mom to hear his or her heartbeat. My baby is about 12 1/2 weeks old now and everything is going good.

Summer Fun

I thought I'd share pictures of some fun things I've done the past couple of weeks.

First, Mom loves gardens so she decided to take me to visit the gardens at the Tryon Palace. And guess what? It wasn't even half-bad looking at flowers for a couple of hours. It's true. I had fun exploring all the fun paths throughout the gardens, and Mom still got her fill of looking at flowers.

Do I look like I'm up to something? Mom thought this was a cute picture until I decided I'd had enough of the gardens and thought there were some flowers that needed a good smashing. So, that was it for our morning at the gardens. Overall, I think I did a pretty good job.
I've tried out a couple of new activities that I think are pretty fun. I love collecting pine cones, and so now we've been turning my pinecones into bird feeders. This was my first pine cone bird feeder and I was awfully proud of it. Also, do you like my outfit? I've been working on getting myself dressed and I think I look wonderful in my Happy Camper t-shirt and Lightning McQueen pajama pants that I picked out :)

I've also discovered that making sidewalk paint is pretty cool.

I actually enjoy making the paint just as much as painting with it.

I find Dad's morning routine before he goes to work to be one of the most interesting times of the day. I especially like watching him shave. So, now I've been practicing. (Don't worry, the razor isn't on the handle. I didn't notice Mom sneak it off).

After I get my fill of fun stuff in the morning, I am always ready for a good nap for the afternoon. Yesterday, I was so sleepy I climbed up in bed with my tractor and tried my best to play with it, but I was just too sleepy.

4th of July Weekend

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. The weather was great so one of our first stops for the weekend was the BEACH!

Since I had so much fun playing in my trench at the Outer Banks, Dad built me another one at Emerald Isle! My trench was fun for splashing,

Climbing,

Sliding,

And watching for cool shells that the waves brought in. I can't wait to bring Aunt Carissa to the beach next month and show her how much fun sand trenches are!

Mom and me all dressed up for a night out on the town.

Checking out some of the New Bern Air Show before the fireworks.

Working on the Babe to pass some time before the fireworks started.

I had a nice fun and relaxing 4th of July, hope you all did as well :)
