Our playgroup met at Ms. Karin's house and kiddie pool today. Mom was late so we didn't get many pictures of everyone in the pool. I had my toes gnawed on today.

My uncle Kevin is visiting this weekend, isn't he adorable? Daddy calls him by his sur name, 'Crabtree', I think that is funny. He is how mommy and daddy met.

This is where daddy practice playing the piano when he was my age. I really like pressing on all these keys. When grandma retires, maybe she can teach me how to play.    

This morning dad took me to the local bakery for breakfast. I tried some of mom’s croissant before heading to the beach. The sun was warm today and there were a lot of people at the beach. I played in the sand with mom and had my feet briefly in the water. The ocean water was a little too cold so after playing with my pail, we went to lunch. Many of the kids at the restaurant came by the table to say hi. Some of them came by a bunch of times; I had a lot of fun with all the bigger kids. That afternoon Aunt Julie came to swim with us and babysit while mom and dad go to dinner. It’s their 5th Wedding Anniversary.

My first experience with a Monarch butterfly was interesting; mom thought I had really hurt it.

Babies, for those who are learning to eat, this is how to eat an apricot or any stone fruit.

I rode in my daddy’s car today down to the St. Regis in Laguna Niguel to vacation for the 4th of July. I really like the St. Regis, there are many other babies like me there. I was dressed in red, white, and blue to celebrate the big day. All the big people were really nice, and everyone was smiling. At check-in, a nice lady gave me my very own beach pail with my name on it. I watched from the room balcony all the balloons they were blowing up to prepare for the big buffet banquet. I can’t wait to go down there and see all the treats they have in stored for me. Before the festival started, we went and swam in the pool. It was a fun day! I swam, danced, people watched, and even brought some balloons back to the room. I can’t wait to see what we’ll be doing tomorrow.
