Mas, please.

Like Bucca; Like Blayne

Now, if only we can keep her out of the bathroom...

Where's the baby?

I was so excited to spend some time getting to know my cousin Kennedy! I really enjoyed playing with her- which, of course, put a huge smile on the faces of my parents since we will have a 'baby' of our own here relatively soon.

Every morning- it was 'where's the baby?' and every evening it was 'where's the baby?'. And, as a matter of fact, every time I saw Aunt Quinn or Uncle Dave it was- you guessed it, 'where's the baby?'.

We had lots of fun getting to know each other and interacted amazingly considering the age difference. And although our looks might be like day and night (somewhat literally, here folks), we share a lot of common ground...

but- not "The Bucca"- the Bucca's mine.

O.V.

Mia, Bucca, Aunt Haley, Aunt Quinny, Uncle Dave and Kennedy came to visit us in Texas -decided we looked like we needed some R. and R.- and took us O.V.- On Vacation, that is.

So, without much argument, south we headed to Port Aransas, TX.

We went incognito and tried our best to not get too involved in keeping up with work...I, in particular, did a good job, but I caught even mommy and daddy without their cell phones once or twice and maybe, just maybe, even napping on the beach!

We had lots of fun for a long weekend and got the chance to discover a neat little hippy beach town just a few hours south of where we've been for the last five years and spend some quality time together!

Hooray, hooray, today is my day!

I'm 2, let me through...I'm off and away!

Momma and Dadda golf-carted me over to Kemah to celebrate the beginning of the terrible twos! We had lots of fun- we played in the dancing water, we rode the cho-cho, the carousel...

(which did not have 'cows' and that was seriously disappointing...)

watched the sting rays (no way in hell was I gonna stick my hands in there like Momma and Dadda thought I would) I was quite content to be behind the glass...had dinner 'out' followed by some classic 'birthday cake' ice-cream

and came home and opened presents! I had lots of wonderful things to open from mommy and daddy as well as Zara, Tia, Grammy and Grandmimi! Thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts!

What a great day to be two!
