Relaxing at its finest!

A sucker, cartoons, and no pants on the lazy boy. What could be better?

Nuytten Fun

Here we are at Kay and Bill's for the Nuytten Fall Bash. They had a swingset, so I got to try out a "big girl swing"! It was so fun! Sami and Alyssa played with me.
I got kind of jealous when daddy was playing with Sami and Alyssa. I wanted to play, too!
Papa Nuytten sat with me on the swing. I love Papa!

A Nuytten weekend

I played at the park with grandma and grandpa Nuytten this weekend. here I am riding the sports car. It sure was fun. Grandpa helps me.
I got a new crown and pretty princess shoes. I'm learning how to walk in my "heels".
I really liked my crown, and I had to put on my princess dress over my jammies so my look was complete.

Cute Pics

I stopped to watch some tv while playing with my train. Mommy thought I looked pretty.
When do parents stop thinking their kids' feet and hands are the most precious thing ever?
Horse-play with daddy is one of my favorite times of the day!
Look at that belly!

Some cute things I've been doing lately: I was pretending to ride my stuffed cow like a horse, so daddy made a horsey noise. I stopped and said, "No Daddy! It's a COW!"

Mommy has also been introducing me to oranges. Since orange is a color I don't know very well, I like to call it a "yellow" or a "pink."

When I "pass gas", I giggle and say "toot-toot", just in case someone didn't notice.

I'm getting better at this "time-out" thing. I've even put myself in time-out a couple of times. My time out spot is upstairs on the couch. I have to just sit there and I don't get down unless mommy or daddy says so... but I ask. I say, "Get down now?"

Ouchies are my new thing- at the littlest thing, I stick out my lip and say "Ow-ee! I got hurt!" Mommy and Daddy are pretty sure I just do it for attention... they are probably right.

I learned to float!

Mommy taught me how to float in the tub! After I learned how, I didn't want to stop. I thought it was really funny.
Here I am just pretending to float. I cheated and put my hands down.
Ooh, am I going to be a backstroker?

Funny stuff.

Here I am relaxing in "my chair" with "my hat". Pretty much everything is "mine" these days.
I've been taking after the boys at daycare that like to play football. Mommy couldn't quite catch it on camera, but I like to squish up my face funny and get into a ready position, then sprint to the other side of the room. It was pretty funny!

Big Girl!

Just and FYI- I am officially in a "big girl bed" as of Sunday, Aug 30th. I did ok my first night, but woke up a couple of times. Then on Monday (Papa Pilney's birthday), I didn't think a nap in my big bed was such a good idea, so I skipped it. Since then I've been doing great. I've been taking my naps at daycare, so we will see how the nap goes on Saturday in my new bed! Wish me (or maybe mommy and daddy mostly) luck!

Labor Day Relaxation

Here is Grandma Pilney and I relaxing on the swing, watching the lake. I was pretty crabby until Grandma had some alone time with me. Then I was happy as can be!

I had lots of fun with the toys on the beach. I am now big enough to crawl on the dock by myself from the sand... which scares mommy a bit... Lifejacket on at all times!

We took a pontoon ride and I made myself a little bed with the towels and relaxed in the sun.


On Sunday I woke up at 5:00, but then needed a nap at about 9:30. I fell asleep on the couch with mommy's Cabbage Patch doll.

Pretty as a Princess!

I loved my new princess dress so much I didn't want to take it off. 1st I wanted to dance with Grandma.

Then watch TV with my piggy.

Then play with my doll house.

And read a book. Aren't I a fashion plate?

Spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa!

Last weekend Mommy and Daddy spent time with friends at the cabin and Grandma and Grandpa Nuytten stayed at my house with me. They brought me lots of fun things. Here I am with my new wagon. I like to pull my dollies around in it.

And I got a new dress- so pretty!

And some sidewalk chalk. That's fun!

And some Play-Doh. I think I got over spoiled- as you can see. Nap time soon followed this picture.

A weekend getaway at Big Sandy

A week after Miltona, I was missing lake life and had to get up to Big Sandy. We went on a pontoon ride. I'm pointing out the fine scenery to Grandma Pilney.
I liked to watch the waves that the pontoon made. I love boat rides!

Viking Bay 08

Here I am having breakfast with my cousin Lilly. We had a lot of fun together. Watching the sunset and giving mommy a kiss.
Breakfast on the patio, looking cute.
Grandma and "Papa" Nuytten and their grandkids.

Fun with Alex

Here I am playing with Alex in the lodge. We had so much fun and I screamed really loud and really often. Everyone else was enjoying "Steak Night" in the lodge. I passed on the steak and decided to play.

Lake Miltona 2008

Lake Miltona was so fun for me this year. I got in lots of swimming time and made many sand castles. The weather was great as you can see! This is me swimming with daddy. Grandma and I get water for the sand castle.
Ooh, that's fun when the waves get my toes!

Mommy's cousin TJ helps me make sand castles. I really liked TJ. I learned his name really fast and I liked to follow him around. I said, "TJ! Go see 'im!" many times!

Water fun with Friends

In the last week of July, I went swimming with my friends Jimmy and Nora. Clara and George were there too, but they are too little to swim. It was lots of fun!

Fun on the Farm!

Last weekend I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Nuytten on their farm while Mommy and Daddy had a weekend to themselves. I got to golf a little, and here I am discovering a web with dew on it in the morning. I liked to poke them all. I really liked playing with this old toy town of mommy and uncle josh's. That's a pretty old toy!
They even got out the swimming pool for me. I LOVE the water. I can't WAIT to go to Lake Miltona and splash my cousin Kellen!

Just hanging out by myself.
