Little Dutch Eats Asparagus

Dear Great Uncle Don,

My mommy (you call her Dutch) took me for my second haircut today. It did not go quite as well as the first one. I was a perfect angel sitting in mommy's lap while the lady cut my hair. That certainly wasn't the problem. The problem arose when the nice lady cut my bangs. As you can see, it was a disaster. Of course, as luck would have it, picture day at school is on Wednesday. You will be the only person who receives one of my photos.

Love,

Little Dutch

PS--I LOVE asparagus!!!

The Reita's

My Grandma and Grandpa Reita and my Aunt Dianne came to visit me while mommy was on a trip to New York. We had so much fun. They took me for a ride in my stroller and then we went to the park to swing. You can't quite tell from my expression in the pictures, but I really had fun!

Bath Time!

I just LOVE bath time! In fact, if I'm really lucky mommy let's me take two in the same day. (If I get really really fussy she will put me in the tub--I'm playin' her like a fiddle!)

I don't like it when I have to get out of the tub!

I have so much hair that it has to be blown dry every time!

Mommy's a Slacker...

...so I thought I would take over the blog. I love looking at the lights and pushing the buttons on daddy's computer, so it seemed only natural that I would take over the blog.

For my first posting, I want to show you some pictures from when my Great Grandma Joyce (we'll call her GG for short) and Grandma Connie came to visit me. While our time together was short, I still had a great time!

I'm so sad you are leaving! Come back to visit soon!!!!

Ava Sits!!!

It was a big day today! Just before putting Ava to bed each night I check one last time for the day to see if she will sit up...and tonight she did!!! Of course, she was like "What's the big deal, mommy?"

Dad Vail Regatta

For Mother's Day weekend we headed down to Fairmount Park on the Schuylkill River to watch the Dad Vail Regatta. It was a beautiful day so we found a nice spot under a shade tree to have a picnic and watch the races.

This picture is obviously taken before the big haircut.

First Haircut

Ava's hair has gotten so long that she can hardly see, so Ken and I took her for her first haircut yesterday. She did such a good job sitting still. Here are some pics:

Prima Catherine

My Prima Catherine went back home today. I had so much fun when she stayed with me while my Mom was working. We would play together, go for walks together, listen to music together...we did just about everything together. On Monday I go to my new school. While I'm sure it will be fun, nothing will be better than the time I spent with my Prima Catherine. I love you, Prima!!!

DC Road Trip

We took a road trip to DC this weekend. Check out some of our favorite pictures around the capital.

Thank You Great Grandma

How exciting! When we got the mail today there was a present for me. Thank you great grandma, I love my new ensemble. As you can see I am modeling the hat.
