Swimming season

Emma, what did you think about your first dip in the pool?

(I crushed it.) 

Learning how to read

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Memorial Day parade

Every Memorial Day weekend our city has a big parade to mark the holiday, and every year all the city vehicles come out to participate. And that means fire trucks. And you know I never miss the fire trucks.

This year was the first Bowie parade for Emma (and Grandmom and Pop Doyle too) so I had to explain to them everything we had to do to take part in the event. Basically, it's a lot of clapping. Emma is good about that.

Pop really liked the fancy old cars, and he made sure they all honked their horns. But the big flags and music were great too. We should have one of these every weekend, as long as the fire trucks can make it. 

Summer time relaxation

I'm starting to like the grass more now that it's all long and soft. Also, this bright sun does wonders for my posing. 

Nap time

We have a pretty big couch, but we only have one comfy pillow to sleep on. 

Dinosaur problems

I don't feel like Emma is taking the threat of carnivorous predators outside our front door very seriously.  

Darth Vader playing dodgeball

It doesn't have to make sense. It's just an awesome shirt. 

Crawling lessons

Guess what Jonathan taught me?!?

Happy Mothers Day!

Sunday was Mothers Day, so here's a picture of Pop and I wrestling on the front lawn.

And here we are playing in the sprinkler, enjoying the great weather.

What? Oh, right. Moms.

Here's a picture of Mom and I enjoying the sprinkler and the nice weather.

 And here's Emma and Grandmom relaxing on the back lawn.

Happy Mothers Day! We should do this every year. 

Worst snack ever

I thought you told me that Buckeyes are tasty. 

Time with Pop

\

Mom and Dad took a mini vacation this weekend, so I had to stay over Grandmom and Pop's place to watch Emma. I took them to a bunch of places, including a car show because I knew it would keep Pop happy. 

Here we are next to our favorite car, because it looked like a pumpkin. We had a blast, and Pop slept really good every night because we kept him so busy. He's a trooper. 

So close

If I can just get these legs to work together, I'll be across the room in no time!
