Visit from Safia/Sunset with Julie and Friends

Safia came to visit me today!

We read together and ate together...

And did a little hugging before it was time for Safia and her daddy, Bryon, to go home.

Then, Julie came over to visit with her friends from Canada. We walked to the beach and I was so joyful.

We laughed a little and watched the sunset....

And then, I played and played in the sand and wouldn't leave. Mommy swept me up and off we went home for a great night's rest.

My second haircut!

I am getting good at this! (if you listen closely, there is a two word phrase Mommy thinks I am saying in the middle of the video to Jonathan....can anyone guess? Mommy says this to Mystic when she barks a lot.)

My 19 month Appointment with Dr. Hamilton

Here I am on the big girl scale for my 19 month appointment. I weighed 26.5 lbs (80th percentile) and am now 33 3/4 inches (90th percentile)....which means only 2 1/4 more inches and I can go on some rides at the Santa Monica Pier! I wasn't all that happy on the big girl scale. Just about as happy as I was below when I was 6 months old (March 12, 2008) when I weighed 10 lbs less!

Here I am with Mama peacefully before my shots. I am holding the bribery lolllipop...

But, it didn't seem to keep my mind off those shots. I am getting my second bandaid here.

All done! Until 22 months.
