Spring Time in the Rockies

As we all know, springtime in the Rockies can be quite unpredictable. Today for example it decided to snow. We all say enough already let us play "side." Yes, my vocabulary is growing daily as I approach 17-months. I LOVE to be outside and simply say "side" with an influctuation and head nod. I love to also say car, truck (really loud for some reason), dog, banana (although that's a tricky one to say but when I see them I try), duck, sock/shoe - always go together, choo choo, na na when I see a horse, among others. Mom has been pointing to her belly saying baby and I say baby back - although sometimes I point to other places than the belly and say baby too so not quite sure what that is all about. When she asks boy or girl, I sometimes respond "birl" :) I am on the move keeping Mom and Dad busy.

Vroom, vroom

Lounging

My parents friend from ND, Katie Lewis, was visiting from Berkley, CA for a conference. We were lucky enough for her to spare a night and stay with us. She even brought me a puzzle that I love and some books - so thoughtful! Great to see you!

Helping with her luggage - well kind of - these wheels are cool.

Cheese!

Plane - that's another one I try to say but not quite there yet with that one.

My parents good friends Jessica and Andy had a baby girl, Reese, on May 3rd - CONGRATS! We all went to visit her and she is a cutie! I was informed not to touch - only look :)

Mother's Day. We had a nice day - beautiful CO day. Brunch, followed by a walk to the park and just hanging out. Isn't there one more "snack" in there.

Posing with Mom.

Mama's little man.

"Truck" and watching the snow come in on tiptoes.

Easter

I had a great 2nd Easter weekend. Gigi and Papi came to visit! We were all sad that the Jayhawks didn't make it to Indy but happy to have visitors in Denver instead. It was a beautiful weekend. Thanks for coming to play.

Love listening to Chicago (Papi's fav) on his phone!


Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

If you don't already know, I'm quite the chatter box. I have a lot to say. One of my favorite words is car. Everything is car...vroom, vroom. Here I am in my friendly Cozy Coupe.

Thanks Nana for the Easter bucks!

All dressed up for the Easter celebration. Two of my favorite words on my front - car (golf cart) and dog.

Closer look at what's on front.

Playing with Papi

Family shot post Mass.

My cute Gigi!

After Easter Mass we had a few friends over for brunch and to play. Pushing Finley in the Coupe - not so sure about sharing it though. We need to work on that concept.

Stealing Claire's hat

Lounging.

Sarah, Claire and Cathy. Yeah for Claire!

Claire and her Mama

Gigi and Papi went to music class with me. It was fun! Post class putting shoes back on.

Blueberries and Jayhawk

So frozen blueberries are a hit - if you couldn't tell.


So proud.

They attacked my forehead and hair.

"Walk Chalk Jayhawk." Now that I'm walking, Aunt Beth thought it would be fun for me to walk around as a Jayhawk. Here I am sporting the beak. Despite losing way too early in March Madness, I'm still a big fan.

Florida Trip

We just took a trip to FL. It was fun spending time with the gang. Cousin Charlie showed me the ropes with many things - especially how cool choo choos are. My parents gave me an A traveling to FL and a D+ traveling back - such is life. Thanks for a great time everyone. It was fun to spend time with all of you. oxox

Climbing around with Cuz.
More fun

Quite the duo at the dinner table.

All sorts of toys at Grandma & Grandpas. I particularly like Dad smiling away in the background. And, check out Charlie's train shirt - pretty retro. That was my Uncle Brian's that Nana kept on hand just in case someone could use it - too cool.

We spent a few hours at the new Botanical Gardens with a very fun Children's section. Playing chess with Grandma.

Love this sidewalk chalk.

If you look closely, I really like the sidewalk chalk....remains on my shorts, shoes and body.

More fun digging in the sand at the gardens.

Aunt Lynnda showing us her tricks. Fun to see you 3 - Lynnda, Lee and Buzzy.

Trying for a photo in the chair - we have an escapee - enough of this little guy.

Buzzy and his magic ball/bag trick. Charlie could have enjoyed this all night. Thanks for the entertainment!

The amazing toy closet.

Charlie helping find the perfect toys.

Beach time - not sure what to think of this sand.

Pretty ocean.
