Leaving on a jet plane...

Tonight, Nanny G stayed late while Mommy and Daddy packed for our trip to Boston and Connecticut. Here I am eating quesadilla by Nanny G. See you in Boston!

What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

We went to Vegas this week to visit friends....we saw Michael and Mariangels (from Park City) and Martin and Hemelina from Spain.

On the way to Vegas, we went to the outlets. Mommy found me a doll in Neiman Marcus (sounds expensive? it was 40% off! and it was the outlet). We bought the doll with the money Mema sent me to buy a doll and Elmo....and then I still had money left over so we bought a beautiful Baby Lulu $52 dress for....$14.50!!

While in Vegas, we were having so much fun that we didn't take many pictures. The few pictures are from our time spent at the pool. It was fun...I want to go back!






After a long day of partying, here I am sleeping in my stroller...



Here we are on the first day at the Bellagio pool. The fountain pools were refrigerated, but we didn't figure that out until the second day when we went swimming in the big UNrefrigerated pool.

My 7 month birthday at Fiesta!

We had a fantastic day full of many fun activities. Here I am this morning on the River Walk. We took a long walk up and down stairs and over bridges...

On the way, we met "Ballapeno" (rhymes with Jalapeno). Robert and Suzi told us that he is the mascot for a San Antonio baseball team. Here I am shaking his hand. He was pretty big...Mommy thought he might scare me, but I actually really liked meeting him.

And, here's a lion I met on the River Walk. Ballapeno was in the background a bit jealous that I found another friend.

In the afternoon, we went to an Arts Festival right by our hotel. There were some beautiful things....some incredible photography...Mommy wanted to buy something for a friend, but couldn't pick out just the right thing. Here I am at the end of the festival getting sleepy in Suzi's arms.

After the Arts Festival, we went to La Fonda for a delicious and relaxing meal on the patio. I started with some bananas and cereal and then had some avocado, chicken and beans from Mommy's salad...Here I am with Robert at the end of dinner.

After dinner, we walked over to an ice cream place. I had a bottle while everyone else had some ice cream. Here I am chatting with RaeAnna...

You would think after such a busy day, we would be so tired....well, I was, but when Mommy asked me if I wanted to go for a dip in the pool (at 8 pm!), I rallied and put on my bathing suit. This was my first time in a real pool. The water was a little chilly, but I didn't notice too much since I was riding in style in my cool float. After I got out of the pool, Mommy wrapped me in a towel and I fell asleep in her lap. What a FUN day. Happy Birthday to me.

It's FIESTA time!

Today, Mommy and I flew to San Antonio to get together with Sue and RaeAnna, Maria and Robert and Suzi for FIESTA! We went to Robert's and Suzi's house tonight for a big party. We had fajitas (well, I just had some cheese) and drank margaritas from the Margarita Man Machine (well, I had some formula). We had a great night to start off our fun weekend.

Suzi, RaeAnna, Sue, Maria and Me!

Swimming!

It was a VERY hot weekend here in So Cal. On the way back from Carlsbad, Mommy and Daddy stopped at Toys R Us and bought me a pool. Can you imagine it was less than $5?? Also, Mommy bought me a float for our trip to San Antonio next weekend. I was trying to float in it in my pool, but didn't really work. In the first picture, I am trying to pick up a bubble. Mommy bought bubbles and was blowing them into the pool!

Visiting Joe and MJ in Carlsbad

Today, we went down to Carlsbad to visit Joe and Mary Jane and their family. We stayed at a very nice B&B, took a couple of long beach walks, went wine tasting and enjoyed a wonderful meal at Gary and Maya's (thanks, Gary and Maya). Here are some photos of the fun we had.
