Cruisin for a Bruisin

Last weekend was a blast! We started off with a picnic at Metro Beach with Papa's work buddies. I played and played with Kayden and Jack for almost 4 hours!!!! I was so good and played well with the boys.


Mama even read some of my Maisy books to us when we sat down for a very brief rest.


We didn't get home till 4pm, so the whole family took a much needed nap. Thankfully I woke everyone up at 6 because we had tickets to the annual Huntington Woods Cruise Party! On the Eve of the famous Woodward Dream Cruise, this party lets us eat, drink, play and watch cool cars with our neighbors.

Mama let me have a bite of her ice cream (egg free of course). It took me 10 minutes to eat/lick it so I was a bit of a mess.


My good friend Colin and his parents came as our guests. He and I danced to music together and Colin got a tatoo of a snake on his leg...Wow!!!!


I am not interested in tatoos yet, but of course I found some boys to play with.


The next day, we decided to check out the cruise as a family. I got to ride in a backpack on Papa's back! It was sooooo cool!!!!. Who wants to be in a stroller when you can see so much at 6 feet!


Charlie got to ride in a Baby Bjorn - he fell asleep after a while.



I love all the cool cars, but was most fascinated with the helicopter that flew up and down Woodward.





What a wild weekend...and boy was I up late too! Ahhhh....summer!

Charlie's First Laugh

Out and About

We are having a great summer, but with the high heat and humidity, we are inside more than we had hoped. But once in a while we get to the zoo. Here I am checking out the fountain.



Charlie wasn't as impressed with all the animals as I was.


I get awfully goofy at home! Here I am practicing my rap pose. Whaaaaazzzzuuuup?


Charlie is getting bigger every day. At 3 months, he weights 16 pounds 5 ounces!!!!




Charlie has a pretty good routine going. He LOVES bathtime, but then he is ready to crash for the night.


Last week, my Godmother came to visit us! She helped Mama out so much and it was fun to have someone else to play with me. Charlie really loved Aunt Jennifer too! We miss her and hope she comes back soon.


Mama and I hanging out...


Last weekend, we went to the Birmingham Farmers Market and Booth Park. It was soooooo hot and humid so we didn't stay long. Charlie zonked out so I reminded Mama: "shhhhhhh"


This evening, we went to the Kids Cruise in Royal Oak!!! There were soooo many cool things to do but we got there kinda late, so the lines were long.


But Papa and I did ride the super bouncy slide! I climbed up mostly by myself....


and then Papa and I came bouncing down! I CRIED cuz I wanted to go again, but the lines were soooo long. Next year we'll be back!

Happy Birthday Papy!

Fun Weekend!

We started the weekend off at a birthday party for my friend Ani who turned 3!!!! There were lots of kids to play with and we ran around everywhere. What a great afternoon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANI!!!!

Here is Ani playing limbo. She made it pretty far...she is such a big girl.


Papa and Charlie did what they do best....chill!


After the party, we just hung out for a while. Is my little brother a cutie pie or what?


Today, we enjoyed an afternoon in downtown Birmingham. We played at my favorite playground and Papa remembered to bring my soccer ball!


Then we grabbed lunch and had a picnic on the grass. Mama and I were acting silly!


We'll have to do this again - we had so much fun!


Charlie wasn't impressed.


Charlie has been practicing his tummy time.


After naps, we went to the pool and I did what tiggers do best...jump!


Swim lessons start tomorrow...happy swimming!
