So as many of you already know, I have been taking pictures with my Teddy Bears every month since I was born. And I love those Teddies! But those Teddy Bears are in for a big surprise. There’s a new sheriff in town. ELMO!!!
I was nice enough to introduce the Bears to Elmo.
And then we all sat down and watched an Elmo DVD!!!
It’s a good thing that those Teddy Bears found Elmo as funny as I do!
I must admit, riding bikes is a whole lot of fun. I get my own seat. I get a fun ride, feel the wind at my face, and I don’t have to do a thing. I just let my Dad do all the heavy lifting.
And this helmet makes me look gooood!
The best part of riding bikes, however, is being able to be a pain in my Dad’s butt (literally).
I came back from vacation and my Mom and Dad decided that we should try and move from the bottle to the sippy cup. I do love my bottles, but part of being a big girl (I am almost walking these days) is giving them and and drinking out of a big girl cup.
As it turns out, I actually really like being a big girl after all. I didn’t miss a beat without my bottle.
On a separate note, I can’t wait until Zaza comes to visit next week! I know she’s got some fun planned for us. She always does!
So I have a new best friend these days! ELMO!
I am absolutely fascinated by the little furry red monster. I have Elmo books and DVDs and Elmo even has his own website too. I love to go visit Elmo’s world and play!
While we were on vacation, Grandma gave me the best surprise present a girl could ask for, my very own Elmo!
Needless to say, I was thrilled! Here’s a video of me and Elmo’s first in person meeting!
Thanks Grandma!!!!
I love vacation. It’s like a week long birthday party where you get to go to the beach and on bike rides and walks and people come back from shopping with gifts galore for me to play with. Last week, Mom and Dad took me to Chatham, MA on Cape Cod with Grandma, Grandpa, Gr-Aunt Carol, and Gr-Uncle Rich. We packed the car up so tight with stuff that Mom couldn’t see out the back window while we were driving down.
Traffic was heavy on the drive down to the Cape last Saturday, but I didn’t mind so much because I got snacks and an Elmo DVD to keep me entertained. I never really get to watch DVDs in the car, but I think the prospects of a 3 1/2 hour ride broke Mom and Dad down a little.
We rented a beautiful house a couple blocks from the ocean and also from Main St. in Chatham. Chatham is a very fun Cape town. We went shopping on Main St. every day and there were all sorts of little shops and restaurants along the way. I even got to have some ice cream at Emack & Bollio’s. My favorite store was the bookstore, Where the Sidewalk Ends.
One day at the bookstore we went to story time, where Brian Lies, the author of Bats at the Beach was there with his Bat Mobile to read us his story about a night at the beach for the Bats around the Cape. He even signed a copy of the book with a message just for me.
My favorite part of vacation though, was going to the beach with the whole family!
I went swimming at Oyster Pond, a little bay not far from our house. When I wasn’t in the water playing and watching all the kids having a blast, I could usually be found hanging out reading a book and soaking in a little sun (well as much as 30 SPF will allow).
Grandpa even tried to take a nap at the beach, and I was going to have none of that!
We also went to Caughlin Beach, which wasn’t more than a mile away from our house but right on the Ocean!
I loved having people dig holes so I could climb in and build sand castles so I could knock them down!
It was just as much fun watching the people at the beach as it was playing in the sand.
Mom showed me all the boats and we even got to look for seals that were swimming along the shore.
I can’t wait until we go to the beach again! I couldn’t imagine having any more fun!
Thanks to Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Carol and Rich for a wonderful vacation! I hope we get to do it all again next year.
