Happy 4th of July!!!!

I LOVE Independence Day! In Huntington Woods, it is a fun-filled day. We started the day eating a delicious breakfast at our neighbor's house. All my favorite friends on our block were there! Charlie spent a lot of time flirting with the pretty big girls.


After playing with my friends for a while, and eating of course, we found a nice shady spot to watch the parade. It was super hot - what a difference from last year when we needed light jackets!




The parade was super fun and I loved all the music, cars, floats, and horses.


Charlie slept through most of the parade, but he didn't like when drums played so Papa snuggled with him.




After the parade, we went for a swim, then napped. We headed up north (Rochester Hills) afterwards to hang out with more friends. We ate great food, played with tons of kids, and even sat in a hammock. It was a super fun busy day!!!!

HAPPY PAPA'S DAY!

Happy PAPA'S DAY to my Papa! I love you soooo much! We make quite a pair: we both love anything with an engine, we love the pool, and chasing after balls.



And now Papa is a father of two! Charlie loves him just as much as I do!


And Papa loves us...I mean, who wouldn't?


Though we aren't always so easy to handle, but we're awfully cute!


And a big HAPPY PAPY'S DAY to my Papy! Papy is the only adult who has as much energy as I do! So as you can imagine, we have a blast together!



Charlie doesn't quite appreciate Papy's energy yet. But Papy, as an honorary Corsican, can appreciate a baby who loves to eat and sleep!


HAPPY PAPA'S DAY TO PAPA AND PAPY...Charlie and I love you so much!

Gros bisous XOXOXO

Charles Kellett Andriani

Charles Kellett is here!

After 9 long months in Mama's belly, my little brother was finally born on May 5th! Mama and Papa named him Charles Kellett after their respective fathers.



All bundled up...he is a very healthy boy at 8 lbs 5 ounces.


Papa is so proud of his little son.


Charlie is soooo cute and we are all in love with him.


Grandma took care of me while Mama and Papa were at the hospital and boy did we have fun! Grandma adores Charlie too - he loves the sound of her voice.


Both me and Charlie were born with a full head of hair!


Charlie brought me a present...lots of neat books!


Is this an adorable face or what?


Charlie sleeps a lot and boy does that make Mama happy! He is such a good baby!

Bike Nite 2010

Last week, we enjoyed our first Bike Nite in Royal Oak of the year! It was in the 70's and everyone was hanging out, showing off their motorcycles and hot cars. I LOVED it! Tons of people, car and dog watching - what more could a 2-year old need? Oh yeah, greasy food at Comet Burger. Yum!

The rumbling of the motorcycles and cars didn't scare me one bit....well, as long as Papa was holding me anyway. I thought it was cool!


Mama and I people watching at Comet Burger.


As you know, I prefer cats to dogs and usually don't pay attention to even the cutest doggies. But I LOVED this dog - he was so soft and was scared...of little ole me!


I loved our evening out so much that I kept kissing Papa - over and over again. Am I Papa's girl or what?


Papa melted when I gave him kisses too. Hmmm....maybe I can use kisses to my advantage.


Earlier that day, Mama and I went to the park and played. Check me out on the swing!


And on the big girl swing!!!!!


All the trees are in bloom, flowers are everywhere....ahhhhh I love spring!

It's All About Playing!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to play. Play outside, inside. With friends or by myself. With toys or without. I just wanna play!!!!

I go to the park whenever I can... sometimes twice a day! I love the slide, the swing, climbing up steps, and even the baby climbing wall and tire.




Inside, my new favorite thing is playing in the "sand". Okay, it's really cornmeal, but I love it! My farm animals like to jump and play in the sandbox, and I like to scoop up the sand in cups and spoons and then dump...usually on the floor or on my pants.


Oh, and here is my baby brother....and Mama too! Only 3 more weeks till Mama goes to the hospital and the baby comes out. I'm not sure exactly what Mama means by that, but I'm sure gonna find out!

Happy EASTER!!!!!

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter. Being a toddler, Easter for me is all about bunnies and eggs! I got to meet the Easter Bunny! At first I was pretty scared.....


but then I warmed up to him thanks to Mama singing my favorite song. Did you know that the Easter bunny came to my house this morning and left a basket of goodies and hid eggs filled with M&M's for me to find? I found them all too!! So yeah, Easter Bunny is pretty cool!


I got to play at Somerset's Easter Village and had a blast running through the "forest".


Is my Easter dress pretty or what?


Vroooom.....Can you see how fast I run now? Mama has a tough time catching up with me these days...hee! hee! hee!


There were even hula hoops, music and bubbles for us kids. Here I am watching the bubbles drift up in the air.


Papa and I had a great time as always.


I had no choice but to give Papa lots of kisses after such a fun morning. Mwah!


It was so warm last week...it was 80 two days in a row! And Papa had Friday off of work, so of course we were outside A LOT and visited parks like twice a day. This is one of my favorite parks in Birmingham. I ran around so fast that Mama couldn't keep up with the camera, but trust me, I had a BLAST!


Happy spring!!!!
