Playground Day with Daddy

Mommy was off working, teaching, or something important, so Daddy and I got a whole afternoon together! The weather was so nice and after a very fun day at Mother's Day Out, he took me to the playground!

Buckling up in for the wagon ride down to the neighborhood playground!

Wheee!!! It's so fun to throw the tennis ball and watch Daddy catch!

I love to swing, but I REALLY love my red shoes! How about you? They match my bow perfectly. A girl's gotta have shoes:)

Our playground has an awesome piano. I love to bang out some tunes!

Target Popcorn

Mommy finally figured out a way to get all of her shopping done at Target while maintaining a happy Briley:) Popcorn and lemonade!! It works like a charm:) And, it truly is amazing to see how much I eat in an hour - whew, what a full tummy!

Panda Pants Wakes Up!

We had a VERY early morning and Daddy thought it would be fun to record me waking up. I love my little panda pajamas:)

On Daddy's Shoulders

I get so excited everytime Daddy comes home from work! Mommy kept me up late one night just to see him:)

Wheeeee!!!

Ok, maybe it's bedtime for both of us! I love you Daddy!

Briley Goes Shopping

Gigi and Grandad had to go shopping for their new house - again!! I got to go 'shopping' with them. Gigi let me borrow her purse. If you listen closely, I pointed out my favorite things with a 'I like this.' Hmmmm, wonder where I learned this??

Our Fun Family Night!

Gigi and Grandad are decorating their new house. We got to go to the really cool stores downtown to shop together.

What a cool store with a soft, furry 'puppy' pillow! Grandad, can't you buy this for me?

P-U-S-S-S-H-H!! A cart just my size!

Wheeee! I fit perfect in this little cart!

Yes, I will take this coke please! It was so fun putting things in the cart - I put all kinds of fun things in my cart throughout the store, but Dad was fast on putting them back:( Where was Gigi and Grandad when I was shopping? I know they would have let me have the cereal, marshmallows, and measuring cups!

YUM! What a fun night - cokes and ice cream, Gigi and Grandad!

All the Animals

Why my parents have put socks on my hands is beyond me? However, check out how smart I am with all my animal sounds!

Persistence!

In case you haven't heard or didn't know, my Daddy hasn't missed a single day of taking my picture since I was born! Here is one of my late night poses before bedtime. I was so tired, but being nice because I knew he was going to take my picture, one way or another:)

Cooking with Gigi

Gigi, can you show me how to cook?

Oh, I've got it - just like this?

Who wants chicken nuggets?

I do!! Oh goody!

One Bad Fall...

We were having such a fun night at home! Mommy and Daddy let me stay up a little late with Gigi and Grandad to play. I was playing so hard and got a little off balance and...BOOM! I fell right into the chair and busted my lip. Ouch! Here's the pictures of my first big goo-boo:(

Oh yuck! There was blood and it made everyone so sad.

Here's the icy dragonfly that made everything feel better.

But, no worries - after some cuddles I'm happy and just fine:)

Happy 17 Months, LOL!

Gigi found this awesome Dora 'cake' and just had to come up with a reason to buy it. Lucky her...I have a birthday EVERY month!

Just let me try this out...

Oh yes - very good!

Mommy, do we have wipes? That dark pink icing is making my fingers turn colors.

Sure Grandad, I will marry you. And a Dora ring is so special:)

Gigi and Aunt Pat were the ring leaders behind my big party. Oh what fun with Do-rah!

Happy Halloween

Bzzzzzz goes the ladybug! I can't wait to have some fun tonight.

Getting ready to hit the neighborhood with Mom and Dad!

We had a big party with lots of our friends from church. Here's my family all dressed up...don't worry, that witch is just my GiGgi.

It was great to get to go trick-or-treating with my cousins. I always love having Connor and Devin around.

Having a little snack. Hey, a bug's gotta eat!

Here's Princess Hannah getting ready to hit the neighborhood!

Daddy leading the way for us all - trick or treat!

Noah the Pirate and Reagan the Princess took a little wagon ride.

Our Princess friend's having some dinner! We had such great friends over, but couldn't ever get everyone together for a picture. Thanks to everyone from coming and making our Halloween so special!

Borrowing Gigi's hat:)

I know Auntie Mel...sit on bottom:( Daddy tells me that all the time too!

What could be a better ending for the night than a little nap on Wolverine?? Happy Halloween everyone!

Pre-Halloween Festivities

The day before Halloween we made some rounds! First up - to the Y for the Trick or Treat Parade with all of my friends.

Then it was off to see Grandad and get some goodies!

Wait, Grandad, you just stole my goodie bag. You're supposed to put a treat in there.

We love coming to see Grandad! And, for the record, he did give me some cookies:)

The third stop was to see my Nanny and Grandfather. What a fun day, but we're going to have to do something about these big antenna before tomorrow night!
