MY FIRST DAY OF BIG GIRL SCHOOL

Today was my very first day at BGS (Big Girl School)

I brought my supplies in to my new classroom.I wasn't sure what to make of this place! It is so different. I was watching all my new friends use the potty. So I decided I wanted to go too! I did pee pee on the potty 10 minutes after I got there. A girls got to fit in ya know!

Mommy came to visit me at lunch time. She didn't tell me until afterwards. But she did get this shot of me playing in the sandbox. I loved the sandbox SO much I brought a gallon home and hid it in my shoes!

Breakfast with good ol' Pop Pop

We went to the Rustic Grille a few weeks ago with Pop Pop.

They make THE BEST PANCAKES IN THE WORLD!They have this really neat bear at the door that greets everyone as they come in.Pop Pop and I colored a bit before the food came. Thanks for breakfast POP POP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHUSHA

Happy Birthday Shusha!Happy Birthday Mommy! Thanks for being born!

'TIS THE SEASON FOR STRAWBERRIES!

Jones' Tree Farm is the best place EVER to get strawberries! I ate them right off the vine.

HELMETS ON FOR SAFETY!

....cereal is dangerous business!

Are you taking time to smell the flowers? If not...

.........smell this one! Thanks for stopping by!

DOCTA! DOCTA! GIVE ME THE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I had a check up with the Doctor. Of course I am healthy as an OX! She told me how much I weigh....and quite frankly, I was shocked!

30.8 pounds! I still had my diaper on....that's my defense!

I am also 34 1/2 inches tall....growin' like a weed! While we were waiting for the Doctor to come in, we had a little lesson on how to tie a shoe...

Let's put it this way, LEARNING HOW TO TIE A SHOE IS HARD! Phew, Mom tried explaining the whole Bunny Ear, through the loop thing....I'll have to wait until I'm at least 3 to try it again! I'm still confused!!!

MEET THE EGG'S!

This is Uncle Egg and Auntie Diddy (a.k.a. Eli). They are our part of our Navy Family. They came all the way from Florida to visit ME! Well, I'm sure they had other things to do like a few weddings and such, but I know they came all this way mostly for me! We had a great breakfast at the Silver Diner!
I really enjoyed myself!

What should I order? Hmmmm, KANKAKES!

Smile!
Ahhh, and we're done! What a crazy weekend! I visited with many members of my Navy Family!! Keep scrolling down to see who else we saw!

SOUP, SALAD, BREADSTICKS, and NAVY FAMILY!

This weekend Mommy and I went down to Virginia Beach to visit some of my Navy Family. We had a very special dinner date with Daddy's two best friends, Uncle Jose and Uncle Jay! They brought their beautiful wives too, Auntie Priscilla and Aunt Katie!!!

We had a great meal at the Olive Garden. Uncle Jose was tickling and nibbling on me :) It was so fun!

Here we are!!! I had a great time catching up. Thank you so much for coming to dinner, I'd love to do it again really soon!

THE JEWISH MOTHER AND NAVY FRIENDS

Today we went to lunch with Mommy's friend, Thompson (a.k.a. Christina). Mommy said they met a LONG time ago when they were stationed together on the USS MASON (DDG-87). We went to lunch at the Jewish Mother.
I got to meet a very special lady, Rebbecca Sue! She is 6 weeks old. She is absolutely perfect! After lunch, I had to put The Virginian Pilot to the test....does the Jewish Mother REALLY have the BEST dessert and ice cream?!
I sat patiently to find out :)

MOTHER'S DAY AT THE BEACH!

This Mother's Day, I did what every child should have done....I sat and thought about what a wonderful, caring, loving, patient, beautiful, kind, mother I have and how grateful I am to have her in my life. Then, like any 2 year old would do, I took off.To find the beach!It was such a beautiful day! The sun was shining!I searched high and low....near and far.....for the most perfect rocks to throw!!!!!I really enjoyed throwing rocks into the water....I threw and threw and threw until.....Mom made me take this picture. I didn't want to, but I had to be nice to my Mom, it was Mother's Day and all.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! Put the camera down MOM! We're climbing to the top.

I got about 1/6 of the way up...and made Mom carry me the rest of the way! After all, isn't that what Mom's are for?

FINALLY SOME SUN!

It's been raining for over a week straight here in lovely Southern Maryland! Finally, we caught a break! It's beautiful, sunny, and 75! We woke up, ate breakfast, and went straight outside!Of course we just had to break out the sidewalk chalk!It was so sunny I had to wear a hat!Mom taught me how to play hopscotch! First you throw a rock.... Then you HOP to go get it....

And then you HOP back!

FUN!

KADY MAE, SILLY GIRL
