Swim Lessons

Last week, I started swimming lessons at the Michigan Athletic Club. My Mom gets in the water with me, and there is an instructor and a few other children and their moms. Some of them don't like the water all the time, but I love it. I get to kick in the water, and splash, and push off the wall and sing songs and dance in the water.

We use the noodles to help me float.

Besides swimming, I also get to float on this frog and splash the water.

I'm really good at kicking.

After swimming and drying off, I stay warm in my ducky robe.

Happy Halloween

Last week was my first Halloween. I'm not sure how I feel about this holiday. Mom and Dad got a bug costume for me from one of Mom's friends. They said I looked really cute, but what kind of parents make a pretty girl dress up as a bug? They promise me I'll like the holiday better when I grow up, because then I'll get to go out and get candy. (I just hope my dad won't eat all of it.)

I Love My Grandparents

I'm lucky to have some wonderful grandparents. Grandma Pam and Grandpa Bob live in Nebraska, but love me so much that they bought a place in town for when they come to visit me. Grandma Linda lives in town, which is lucky for me. I see her a lot and we go shopping and do other fun stuff. Sometimes, she'll even pick me up from school.

Fun Hats

Like every beautiful girl, I like to accessorize. I have a pink bow for my hair, a floppy ear hat with tassles on top and a fur-lined winter hat (the gloves were still attached to the top).

With Mom and Dad

I have the best parents around. They are always doing fun stuff with me and teach me a lot of new stuff.

Here I am at work with Dad. As you've likely noticed, I've had to take over the blog because Dad wasn't doing a good job and got way behind. I'm having a lot of neat adventures and I want to tell you all about them.

I got to go to a dinner at Dad's work before Midnight Madness. There were a lot of really tall guys there.

Mom reads to me many nights before bed. This is a book of Bible stories for little children.


We took a break from reading to smile for the cameras.

Here's a video of Mom reading to me about Baby Moses. I'm not real sure why some parents would put their baby in a basket on the water. My Mom and Dad take much better care of me than that.

Mom and I like to wear pink a lot. It's a nice color for pretty girls. I'm wearing a dress that Grandma Pam made for me.

Sometime's Mom will play a game that she calls "Fishing for a Baby." I just try and grab the pacifier and put it in my mouth.

Time To Eat

I like to eat, although somedays more than others. I usually end up with just a little on my face, but I'm still cute.

My Furry Friends

I love dogs. Their fur feels really nice in my hands. Sometimes, I get dog hair on me, which my mom doesn't like, but it doesn't bother me.

This is Hank, the dog of Grandma and Grandpa Larson. He's a big dog but very gentle.


This is Fletcher. He's my dog. His hair is on all my clothes. My mom says that sometimes he's naughty, but I think he's a superstar. There have been a couple of times when he's licked my face, which usually makes me laugh. He told me that as I eat more and more food, he'll be happy to eat anything I don't want.
