Visiting Saya in the afternoon...


We went swimming in Saya's pool this afternoon....maybe I had a premonition this morning when I put on my bathing suit and told Mommy and Daddy that I was going to the pool that it would actually happen today!

Then, we played upstairs in Saya's room while all the moms and dads chatted downstairs. Right before we went home, we posed in front of Judy's Japanese doll display.

Playdate with M&m

An early morning visit from M&m and their mama, Julie! We had so much fun....jumping on the bed! and, the duck park!

Mama's Valentines...

For Valentine's Day, we went to the Farmers Market.....I rode a pony and then jumped off these brick stairs at least 50 times...







And occasionally, I rested.



After nap, we went to a late lunch in Santa Monica and then went to the beach!







Mystic and Baby Grace

After gymnastics yesterday, we took Mystic and Camille with us for a ride...


Baby Grace and me this week at the library!

Princess Bean (again!) and Cousin Chelsea Visits

On Saturday, I went to see Princess Bean again. Mommy and Daddy tried to take me last week, but she was sick (edited by Mama -- really, we signed up for 1/30 and then went on Sunday which was 1/31....Gigi was so upset when we got to the theatre and PB wasn't there!). Luckily, Princess Bean was better this week. We went with Lisa and Zoe, too.


Today, Cousin Chelsea came to visit with her Mom and sister, Brady. We went for ice cream (see all the chocolate ice cream on my face in the first picture) and then for a walk on Venice Beach. I am so glad they came to visit!

"I am going to drive to gymnastics....want to come?"

Today, I picked out my outfit, got dressed, grabbed my bear and said to Daddy
"I am going to drive to gymnastics, do you want to come?"

Sleeping....Gigi's Bed (by Mama)

Gigi has been in our bedroom (in our bed) since she was 10 months old. We hadn't planned on it that way. She slept in her crib from 5 months - 10 months and in a bassinet before that. At 10 months, she was sick and we had her in our bed and somehow she never left.

Now, she refers to our bed as her bed. For example, "Mama, do you want to come in my bed with me?"

In September when Grandma and Grandpa and Mema and Pepa were here for her birthday, we had a Queen-sized blow up bed in her room where Grandma and Grandpa slept. After they left, she called it "Grandpa's bed". She had an interest in sleeping there. Great! So, we left it up. The interest waned and back in our bed she was.

Today, Allen was putting together her new bed in her room (not the blow up bed - "Grandpa's bed"). She came into the room, looked puzzled and said, "Is that for baby brother?" We said, "No, that's Gigi's new bed!!!" with huge excitement. Well, so far, she is very excited about it. She wanted to get in it right away (of course, we haven't bought the mattress yet). Instead, she was helping Allen put it together..... and said "Yay, yay, yay!"

Let's see if this continues to go smoothly....more to come.

Sunday Morning Picnic with my Baby and Daddy

I always have my backpack filled with snacks. I had a pear, orange, banana and trail mix. I found a blanket, put my princess dress on and invited my baby over for a picnic on the floor. Later, Daddy joined us!

Gymnastics Saturday


Another fun day at gymnastics. Today, I decided to wear my tutu over my shirt and shorts. Class was so big that they split us up in two groups. Luckily, I was still with Coach Lindsey. I love class with her.

My First Play -- Princess Bean!

On Sunday, Mommy and I went to see Princess Bean with some of my friends from school and their Mommies. Here we all are hanging outside at intermission.


Here is Princess Bean! I loved her so much that I cried when it was over because I wanted to see her more.


We even got to meet Princess Bean after the show!

Oh, and a high five for Cinderella!
