Buzzing along
I've been having some fun times. Mommy and I took a trip down to Woodburn for the Tulip Festival. I really liked that but I really hated the drive home (I'll skip the details on that part). I really enjoyed seeing all the kids and the pretty tulips. Mom made me pose for some silly photos but I had fun.
Oh, Happy Late Easter everyone! I had a nice first Easter. We celebrated with Uncle Todd and had some yummy homemade cinnamon buns (I only got a tiny bit of one with no frosting - dietary police don't come bust Mom). I also got some very nice goodies from all of my grandparents (and parents). I had fun checking it all out with Dad. Scout liked it too! Mommy dyed some Easter eggs to celebrate and Daddy and I were going to help with one but I had to stop helping after I stuck my hand in the green dye. Sometimes Mom and Dad just don't get it.
Also, Mommy and I went to the climbing gym a couple of times and once Connie came. She's such a nice lady! We had a lot of fun. I hope she comes climbing again. There are pictures of all of us in the gallery if you want to check them out.
Yesterday, Mommy and I went for a walk and just a block away from the house (right near the house with the chicken coop!), we heard lots of loud buzzing. We were surrounded by a swarm of bees. No kidding! It was pretty amazing. We were both a little stunned. We talked to the nice guy who has the chickens and went on our way (and left the bees there). When we came home, I was sound asleep but Mom said the swarm was hanging out in the tree in a big clump. She took some pictures for me (and you) to see...you have to look close to know that the dark spot is a gazillion bees. When I woke up from my nap, the swarm was all gone. Pretty amazing! There have been other swarms lately too. The ladies at the coffee shop keep us in the loop. Bees are pretty interesting but not as fun as chickens and ducks and dogs and cats.
Gosh - I haven't updated everyone on my new tricks! I say hi and doggie and duckie and woof and meow and probably other things - Mom and Dad don't really understand my words. My "woof" sounds like "ffffff" to them and doggie and duckie sound a lot like each other but and like "dada" but they know what I'm saying because I can point! Mommy taught me to clap not too long ago. I guess she never made the time before. I picked that up in about 30 seconds and I love it! I mean - people love when I wave and point but clapping is a huge hit! Sometimes I just decide to clap but I like to clap for the "If you're happy and you know it" song too. AND I have been pulling myself up on EVERYTHING. I also can crawl a lot faster. I am really keeping Mommy on her toes. Hah! It is great. I can get from one place to another with no problem! I like to try to climb out of the bathtub and into the toilet. It is really fun to grow up. What's next?
I'll keep you posted.
