Mommy's 25th High School Reunion

While Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Steve and I went to Rein's for some whitefish salad (I ate most of it!) and then to dinner, Mommy spent some time reconnecting with some of her best friends growing up. Above is Joanne and Lisa... and "BDowg/Brian"

and Erika (with Lisa)

at the end of a wonderful evening...

BIG Party at My Great Aunt Donna and Uncle Tom's House

This is Max and his Mommy, Naomi. Max was born on a VERY special day....MY birthday :) We are exactly the same age. Well, he might have an hour or two on me.

After our visit with Roy, Sarah and Tali, we drove at the wee early hours of Saturday morning to visit my Great Aunt Donna and Uncle Tom, my cousins Alyse, Pete, Jacob, Abby, David and Hollie AND a whole bunch of other people Mommy knows from growing up in Vernon, including Big Al and Donna Feir, Trudy Singer (Max's Grandma) and Brina and Ron Abrahams (Max's Great Aunt and Uncle). And, then Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Steve came, too!!
Here we are blowing out candles on our ice cream birthday cake!

This is my cousin, Abby. She is great. She spent so much time with me, playing and acting like a big sister, too.

And, of course, we did some hugging...

And, had some food at a table that used to be Mommy's table when she was a little girl!

Here I am reading with Grandma.

And, playing with the farm with my cousin, Alyse. What a GREAT day

Picnicking and Hiking with Mommy and Daddy in Boston

One day while visiting Roy, Sarah and Tali, we went for a picnic in Hingham. First, we stopped and got lobster rolls (for Mommy and Daddy) and yummy Haddock for me. We found a perfect spot by the water to feed the birds, eat and do a LOT of walking!

Hugging Elmo on the way to our picnic And, reading to Elmo on the way home...

After our picnic, we went hiking at World's End. For some reason, I don't have any pictures from that because I was SLEEPING! After my nap/hike, we stopped at the Derby Street Shoppes in Hingham where I found a Pumpkin Patch!

Meeting TALI! And spending time with Roy and Sarah

This is my new friend, TALI!!
And, here is Tali with her Mommy and Daddy (Sarah and Roy). Mommy and Roy have known each other for SIXTEEN years since they practiced law together in Boston. Tali's Daddy and Mommy are very special friends to my Mommy and Daddy and I was VERY lucky to spend three days with them at their temporary home on the OCEAN!!

And, here we are with our Daddies!!

With a little hug thrown in for Tali. Sometimes I just lean over to give hugs (or in the direction of the hug-gie -- one who is getting the hug).

We did SO much in 3 days. Here are just some of the things we did together...

We had cheese and apple appetizers...

We played on the porch overlooking the OCEAN....can you see the ocean in the background?

We played the piano!

We HUGGED!

We ate all kinds of yummy foods, including SPINACH! Can you tell I love it?

We played in Tali's room....read books, sang and danced!

We went to music class! Turned out that music class was the SAME class I take in Los Angeles with Nanny G called "Music Together". It was great because, Mommy, Daddy and Tali's Daddy could all see what we do during the week (it was a Friday morning and normally, Tali's Mommy takes her).

We caught the rain as it fell!

And, we went grocery shopping while we drove the fire truck all around Stop and Shop!

Helping Daddy...

Here I am helping pack up the travel stroller before we got on our red eye flight to Boston! I slept well on the plane, but because my sleep was interrupted once we got to Boston, I ended up on East Coast time for the rest of the trip.

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!

Pictures from my date with Baby Grace

In my new car seat! Now, I can face forward.

I missed Grace's birthday party a few weeks ago because I had a fever. Here we are playing at the beach with her new toys (from me!).

My 12 month appointment...Results In

Today, I went to the pediatrician for my 12 month appointment and shots! I was such a good girl....very little crying after my shots.

I weighed 21 lbs 11 oz (70th percentile), was 30 1/2 inches tall (85th percentile) and my head circumference was 18 1/4 inches (75th percentile).
And, of course, I did some reading...

and more reading...

and kissed the bear.
