Happy Valentine's Day!

Daddy got me my first rose for Valentine's Day! I wasn't quite sure what it was at first...

ooooo... pretty!

Do I play with it?

Can I eat it? 

ooohhh... I smell it!

it smells pretty! 

Mommy's roses smell nice, too!

Mom and Dad also got me an Elmo cupcake... it was awesome!!! 

Good thing it was bath night!! 

Easterns

Mom competed and coached at the Synchro Eastern Championships.  It was a multi-day event that was held in Hershey this year.  All of her teams had good skates and her OJ team came in 6 out of 31 and her Adult team came in 3rd out of 16! She was really happy with how the competition went!

Because she was so busy skating and coaching, Gram came down to watch me for a few days.  We had lots of fun together and spent lots of time at the rink!! I even learned the word "Zamboni!"

Hanging at the rink... waiting to watch skating!

Thanks for watching me, Gram! 

Visits with Family

 Last week I got to spend some more time in New England and visited with lots of family. 

Mom and I drove up on Thursday, Jan 8.  When we got there, we had a yummy dinner with Auntie, Gram and D. 

 Mom then went to the hotel where her skating team was, so I stayed with Gram and D. 

I got Munchkins for breakfast... :)

I got to have my favorite clam chowder at the Angler after a long day of watching skating

I even helped Gram clean up dog fur!

On Sunday, I went to Peterborough and played with Uncle Bri, Babchi, Papa and Auntie Sheryl.  I was so excited and happy to be there that I didn't nap at all!

Babchi played blocks with me

Uncle Bri and I had fun hanging out!

On Tuesday, I went to visit Great Nana at her new house.  She gave me cookies and let me run around her apartment.  It was awesome!

Tuesday night, Great Mummy, Kira and Carly came over for dinner. 

On Wednesday, I got to visit Brit at her new house, and took a fun walk around Milton with her and Hadley.

On Thursday, I got some new shoes!!

 

We also met Auntie for lunch!

Yum! Smoothies are good!

 

I had an awesome time up North and can't wait to go back! :) 

Puppies! (and birds and a horse, too!)

Today we went to visit some puppies! They were really fun to look at and play with, although they have really sharp teeth.  One of the puppies tried to eat my braid and then tried to eat my boot!! I got to see some big parrots and parakeets, too; they were a little scary, though. I also got to meet Taki's best friend, "the horse" (as Taki calls her).  She was really big and ate one of my apple slices!  Thanks for having us over Patti and Diane; I had a wonderful time!!

Taki has this snake - it's a fun toy!

attack of the puppy!

she loved my boot! I like my boots, too, so I guess she has good taste...

it's a parakeet! (i think...)

that was one big bird!
