Swinging

So today we went to the park. It was such a nice sunny day. Rather than spend another day inside, we ventured over to see if I could give you a little fun. 


There weren't many people there. Just a few kids. We still did wait for the swings a bit. Once you were on there, you did enjoy it.

It looks like you were just basking in the sun.

When Papa got home, he brought you a gift from one of his friends. It was such a thoughtful idea. 

Next you opened a gift that you were given over the weekend. 

I know that you just can't wait to use it or maybe eat it.

She is the first Disney princess to me. She is after all Mickey Mouse's girlfriend. I think she is so cute with her squeaky voice. She call's out "yoo-hoo".

Going to Disney is something I am looking forward to doing one day with you. We can join the family down there and just have a blast. It may be scary for you to meet the characters though. Many kids cry when they are face to face with them. 

You were given a gift from Uncle Dan, Auntie Carolyn and your cousin Danielle. It is a Minnie Mouse dress. And it looks so cute on you.

But I had to hurry and put the dress on you so that you can wear it. You are growing so fast. I have to make sure that you at least get one use of it. This is the first time I didn't have to force you to look at the camera. You will be crawling soon and then pictures will be a challenge.

I remembered that Auntie Carolyn had bought me my own Minnie ears. And of course the ears just add to your cuteness. 

Mookie in the background of course.

2011 Family Reunion

It is very rare that we all have a chance to get together with all of Papa's family because they are all over the place. You have relatives that live in Washington state, California, Florida, Massachusetts and even Japan to name some of the places.

This year the family reunion was held in Niles, Michigan at Auntie Therese and Uncle Ray's house which gave us an opportunity to go. It turned out to be a very nice day. We had a few showers before and after we arrived to the reunion but while we were there the sun shined brightly and the heat was sweltering. 


You got to meet a lot of the family members that you still haven't met. It was funny to see people by pass me and go straight to you. You were the center of attention. Seeing you being showered with so much love just fills my heart. All I ask is that you be surrounded by the love of your family because as you grow they are will be an important part of who you are. 


It's a good thing that you don't mind the camera anymore because everyone was taking your picture. We are supposed to be getting more pictures that were taken but here are a few. Hopefully I can one day update the slide.

Tutu Cute

Your nina was thrilled when she found out you were coming. But, the thought of you being a girl was kind of scary to her. She grew up a tom boy. She loved to play the rough and tumble way but that is due to your two uncles. 

The Christmas before you came was full of gifts for you. And it was a total surprise when the gift from your nina was a pink ballerina onsie with a gold tutu. It was the cutest thing ever and the excitement to see you in it was filling my heart with hope.

So the day is here for the photo shoot with you and the tutu. Mind you mommy is doing the photo shoot.

But you know you can't have a shoot without your friend Mookie making an appearance. You two have hit it off. 

She loves torture and you give it to her unknowingly.

But here is the favorite of them all.

You are just Tutu cute.
