A new duck park with Isabel

e an

After my horse lesson, we met Isabel and her Mommy and Daddy at a duck park we have never been to. You won't see pictures of the ducks because Mama's phone camera lost its charge and her real camera was left (by her!) at Whole Foods when we were picking up our picnic essentials.

Isabel and I put on our mommy's shoes and played a lot. We rolled on the grass and played with her pink soccer ball and we fed the ducks. We had A LOT of Pirate's Booty to fuel all of our activity.

Happy Birthday Isabel! -- Lots of Pictures!

Today, we went to Isabel's 2nd birthday party at her grandparent's house! For the first hour, we played in the yard. Above Isabel is blowing bubbles with her Grandma (from Chicago). Below, I am climbing up to go down the fast moving slide!

Here I go!

This is Isabel's great grandma and her grandpa (from Chicago).

And, this is Isabel's Mommy (right) holding the hand of August, one of Isabel's younger friends.

Here I am with Isabel and her cousin about to go down the slide...

For the second hour, we had so much fun singing and dancing with Music. Not to confuse, but the guitar player below is named "Music" and she played music and we all made music together.

Here I am dancing with Daddy

....and making music with Daddy. Mommy was there, too, but she was mostly behind the camera. We made some music together, too, but the camera forgot to take a picture.

Then, we played with the parachute.

And, finally, we had cupcakes! Here is Isabel with her Mommy and Daddy (Ariel and Brad).

Yummy yummy

A little walk to walk off the cupcake (I really only had a few nibbles of the icing and let Mommy and Daddy eat mine; fruit is much more interesting).

Rollercoaster video from Isabel's Party

I went on the rollercoaster a few times and really liked it. You wouldn't know from this video.

Corn on the Cob, Rib Eating Elmo Watching Dancer....

Today, my friend Isabel (and her Mommy and Daddy) came to visit. I was in a little bit of a cranky mood since I was up at 4:45 and napped from 8:15 - 9:45 without another nap until I went to sleep at 7 pm. Even with my slight crankiness, I still had fun with Isabel and hope to see more of her (she is having her 2nd birthday party in a few weeks).

Who knew I would still love sitting in my bumbo at 15 months? In the evening, Zoe (and her Mommy and Daddy) came by for some of Daddy's YUMMY smoked meats (ribs and chicken). I tried corn (on the cob) for the first time and really enjoyed it. I also liked dancing with my rib.

Fun Day with Dr. Acacio and Friends in Laguna

Today, we had a great day at Dr. Acacio's Fun Day. Dr. Acacio is very special to our family, so when we received an invitation to go to a day in the park with Dr. A, of course, we wanted to go. And, I got to spend some time with my friends and meet some new friends.

Mommy and I went sliding down the "jumpy slide"....it was fun! Daddy took this video, but the funniest part was seeing Mommy try to climb a ladder made for 5 year olds. Oh, and did I mention there were over 200 families there...even in the 97 degree heat!



So, this picture is funny. Mommy told me that Amanda (2nd from the left) and Connor (next to me) are "betrothed". And, here I am trying to hold Connor's hand while Amanda looks on with the "Hey, he's mine!" look. (Front Row: From Left to Right, Alexandra, Amanda, Connor and me; Back Row: Dr. A holding Isabel)

Dr. A and Mommy Isabel and me This is my friend, Isabel and her Mommy, Ariel. Mommy is getting tired of putting each picture up separately, so here are the rest of the good pictures from our day.

I had a GREAT weekend

This weekend was so much fun. I have been too busy to post to update you on all of the happenings until now.

First, Mommy and I went to breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien with my new friend, Isabel, and her Mommy, Ariel. Mommy and Ariel caught up over oatmeal...Isabel had some of her Mommy's oatmeal, but I was happy with my bottle.

I hope I get to see more of Isabel soon....she has a great stash of toys. Maybe next time we will hang at her house and play.
