• first memorial day
• spent the morning with your cousin Ashley. she was so pleased you played with her for 3 hours. you laughed with her every time she would laugh at you and you loved having her walk you around the house
• you got your very first cowboy hat (cream color straw... cute!)
• you had your first bite of corn and seemed to enjoy it
• went to both grandma and grandpa m. at their house but for only a few minutes each. you normally will let grandpa m. hold you more then grandma m.
• played with zack, ashley and derek during the jazz game. when ever you are around zack you yell (your version of talking) and start flinging your hands in the air. zack copies you and you get the biggest kick out it.
• like always you sang and talked in the car until you fell asleep. for the most part you LOVE your car seat and going on rides.
• and of course you cuddled up with your soft teddy bear while you went to bed. you love your teddy bear and each night you either cuddle with it or lay it on top of your cute little body. you are soo cute when you are sleeping! you always sleep on your back and like having your head all the way up against the edge of your crib.

• spent most of the day outside and loved it!
• i can't figure you out...you are terrified of the vacuum but yet you LOVE the lawn mower
• you are getting closer and closer to crawling. you can go from sitting to your hands and knees. after just a few inches you sit back on your little behind and then start the process over. its so cute but you are starting to get frustrated. hopefully within a few days you'll get the hang of it.
• you got your first little cut today. you were playing with dad's mountain dew can and got your thumb stuck in the opening. we were trying to help you get your thumb out but you were afraid we were just taking away the can so you pinched your thumb harder and started throwing a little fit. the cut wasn't too bad and i think you were more upset that we took the can away.
• you got a new little table and chairs from ikea for your bedroom. its so cute and i can't wait until you can sit up to it!
• you also got a train set from ikea. dad was playing with it and it made you up set. you wanted ALL four trains to yourself!
• you started grinding your teeth again! you had stopped for a few weeks, but decided you missed it.

• hiked (aka mom carried me) mount timpanogas cave. you sang and talked ALL the way up and slept the way down.
• your new favorite book is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" with each change of a page you gasp, yell and kiss the photos. your favorite page is the last with the photo of the butterfly which you kiss each time!
• you went to your Savannah's dance concert and you could not keep your eyes of the dancers. your favorite song was Sir Mix-A-Lot - Jump On It. you got excited and held your hands up in the air and started dancing.
• you played with ashley and zack during the jazz game. they were playing video games and you had to be right in the middle of them. you also got into a screaming contest with them and of course you won. you ALWAYS have to have the last scream

• you've discovered the frozen berry drinks and costco and love them. you had to hold the cup yourself and drank over half the drink. you drank it so fast you kept getting brain freezes
• your crawling is getting better and better. your up to about 2 "step" crawls.
• we found your favorite toy "lilly" and you went crazy when you heard the little song
• went to the day care at the gym for the first time. you did great! i think it helped having your little friend evan hacking with you
• you did "et phone home" over and over today and kept laughing after each time
