Visit with Aunt Sara

Aunt Sara is finally back home! Well, sort of. She's at least closer, so we'll see her more. She came to visit us for the weekend. At first, I wasn't sure who she was, but I quickly remembered and we became good friends. It's easy to be friends with someone who operates on the same level as you! We did enjoy some nice weather this weekend and together, with Daddy & Mommy, took a walk around the neighborhood.

I waved bye-bye to church friends on Sunday -- which pleased everyone. And I'm saying some words but not with regularity. (Nor do I realize what I'm saying.) They keep asking me about this yellow animal that says, "quack." Course, "da,da" or "dadee" are still my favorite sayings.

A new friend was born on Saturday. Trevor Lane Bailey was born at 3:02 p.m. He weighed slightly more than when I was born at 9.2. He's the new son of friends of Mommy & Daddy. Jaiden said she is excited about having a baby brother. We'll find out in a couple of weeks whether I'm getting a brother or sister later this year.

Standing

Every day I practice standing on my own. Granny, Pawpaw, Daddy and Mommy try to distract me so I'll try to walk. I'm stumbling some, but not quite walking. As you can see, it's easier for me to stand when we're outside or on the carpet at Granny's house. I've been playing in the back yard with Daddy a lot lately. He's excited about the warm weather and getting his garden planted. I just like the breeze on my face!

Crafty

It was such a nice day on Sunday that Daddy decided to finally mow our lawn. Then we all worked on a craft together. We created a stepping stone for the garden with my name on it. It was supposed to have my handprints on it, but I didn't like the feel of the concrete on my hands.

Visit to Morgantown

Daddy had to go to Morgantown on Saturday for football practice. Since it was raining and Mommy couldn't do much around the house, we decided to drive up with Daddy and visit Grandpa & Grandma. Daddy turned my car seat around so I face forward now. What a difference! I sure like looking out the window and being able to talk to Mommy & Daddy. We had a short but nice visit with Grandpa & Grandma and, of course, Penelope!

Emmaus #2

After the Emmaus people had their party, a nice man named Dan gave me all the balloons to play with. As you can see the string always fascinates me.

Clowns, balloons & fun

I met some clowns today. We helped out at Rippling Waters for the Men's Walk to Emmaus. Daddy spent the weekend out there working on the team. I thought the clowns were funny and liked to watch their show.
