GOOD CATHOLIC GIRL

This wasn't my favorite part of the ceremony

Another photo op

I love ice cream!

Well, I was just baptized a couple of weeks ago. I was baptized at St. Cecelia Church located in Bainbridge Island. Nana and Grandpa are also my godparents. I really didn't enjoy getting my head poured with the Holy water. It startled me and I started to cry a little. After the ceremony was over we bbq at our house.

PLAYING WITH THE ANIMALS

The bisons are so big and smelly

We're feeding a deer

That's the deer we just fed

I was a little intimidated by the brown bear

This elk kept coming back for more food

This is at an animal farm about 60 miles from Bainbridge Island. You drive your car around and you're able to feed and touch these animals. It was very intimidating at first because these animals are practically in your car. I was able to feed, yaks, bears, elks, deer and bisons. The bisons were my least favorite because they were enormous and smelled pretty bad.

HEY I'M WALKING NOW

My parents are in for it, now that I'm walking. I took my first steps on Aug. 5th and now I'm completely walking. I started crawling when I was 10 months old and I didn't like getting my hands and clothes dirty so I thought I would just skip the crawling stage and start walking. I'm having so much fun exploring my new skill and I know my parents love chasing me around, especially when we are on the fairy going into Seattle.

SEA FAIR

We're watching the Blue Angel show

Those are the Blue Angels

Sea Fair is a big hydro boat race in Seattle. It's actually just another excuse to party and bbq with friends and family on Lake Washington. It's a big scene in Seattle. My favorite thing was watching the Blue Angel show. I love the airplanes flying around.

BEACH TIME!

I think that's a crab??

Yes, it is a crab shell. Let me grab it.

This summer we've been exploring all these amazing beaches. This secluded beach has been my favorite so far. There were a couple of bald eagles flying around us, a deer came running out and I touched my first crab. My parents couldn't believe how daring I was touching the crab. They were afraid the crab would pinch me. They also couldn't take me out of the water. As you can see from these pictures, they weren't intending for me to get in the water so they didn't bring my swimsuit. But once I saw the water, I instantly gravitated towards it. When we were done for the day, I crashed out on our way home.

THE PLAYGROUND

Now that I'm older and almost walking, I enjoy playing at our local park's playground! My favorite activity were the swings but I now love the slide. I'm also in awe of all the older kids playing. My mom says that I stare at them and occasionally try to walk to them.

RADING THE CUPBOARDS

I have a lot of fun toys to play with but right now I love playing with anything in the cupboard. Well, my parents baby proofed a lot of the kitchen drawers but I've managed to rade a couple of them.
