Eating My Yogurt

Here I am eating my yogurt all by myself. I did a great job and didn't even make of a mess! What a big girl!

Pony Show

This past Sunday, I went to a pony show at the park. It was a beautiful day and lots of people were out to enjoy the sunshine. I saw a pony dressed up like Minnie Mouse and one dressed up like Merlin. I even got to see some Clydesdales and one man even let me sit on his pony named Mollie! I had a great time!

14 Months

Today, Adalyn is 14 months. Wow!! Where is the time going? She is cutting her bottom molars and looks like the top ones won't be far behind. We are still going to sign class as she has really taken off with her signing. She does the signs for "more", "flower", "eat", "thank-you", "please", "all done" and is working on "banana". She is saying "sit", "this", "ice", and a few others that we are still trying to decipher. She can also "moo" when you ask what the cow says and "quack-quack" for the duck. We are SO PROUD!! Sorry, no new pictures to post. Hope to have some new ones up in the next week or two. Untill next time....

Berry Picking

Last Friday we went with our Mom and Tots group to a farm to pick strawberries and rasberries. We had a lot of fun picking our own fruit. Mommy and I even snuck in a few bites while we picked our fruit. We even got to see some ponies, cows, rabbits, and sheep! It was a great way to spend a Friday morning!

Okay....here's my bucket. Let's go!

Here I am with my friends from our group.

Look at all these strawberries!

Going back to give the pony a kiss!

Sheep Dog Trials

A week ago we went to the sheep dog trials held in a nearby village. It was a little cool outside, but it was still fun to actually see the Border Collies in action, and Adalyn enjoyed watching the dogs run away to the end of the pasture to bring the sheep back to the course. The "shepherds" were just like the man in the movie "Babe"....most of them were equipped with their derby hats, wellies (rubber boots for us Texans), and a cane. The men in these pictures don't have all of the gear on, but these were the best shots we could get from where we were standing.

One of the competitors takes a break.

Almost got 'em in...
Oh no...looks like the sheep have other plans today.

Just some fun pics...

Come on Hayden, you bend your legs, hold on, and jump up and down!

Merle LOVES it when we come for a visit...we always bring him a carrot or two.
This empty bag is so much fun to carry around!
I'm ready for our next trip!

1st Birthday

We went to the Astros game to celebrate my and Daddy's birthday. We had a good time even though the Astros lost. It was my 1st baseball game.

Here we are in front of my birthday cake that everyone got to eat at my party. Mommy got me my own special cake...

that I wasn't real sure what to do with. I don't get to play with my food at home so why was I encouraged to dig into this cake? I ended up picking up a few bits and pieces and poking my fingers around in it.

I got some really cool things for my birthday but had more fun playing with the boxes, bags, and ribbons. This party stuff wore me out!
