Swim or Splash

Slippery Fish

Mommy kept promising me that she would take me to a "big bath" so that we could play with daddy and other friends in it. Woohoo. We had so much fun. I went in the splashy pool with daddy, Jillsie and Uncle Mac. We also went in the bubbly warm pool with mommy and daddy. I can't wait for swim class to start in January. These arms were made for swimming. :)

Gone Wild on the Town

We went to Nurnberg and saw so many shops. My favorites were Sports Shack and Starbucks. Mommy says it is sacrilege to go to Starbucks in Europe but there was too much smoke in Black Bean for Jillsie and me. I tried on a few things and then I fell in love with some new ski boots. Mommy says they are too big, daddy says I'll grow into them. I think they are just right. Daddy kept saying something about sponsorship and my own skis.

Me and My Mommy

The day has come that I knew would. My daughter said dada. Not just once, she likes to sing it at the top of her lungs. Of course for now it is attached to all the things she sees but soon she will learn that when she says it she has the heart and soul of her papa bear wrapped around her little finger. When that happens she will no longer be the mommy's girl that I have so enjoyed. I have enjoyed it to a fault, doing all of the things I said I would never do so that I could continue to have independence. I revel in the fact that my daughter needs me, wants me, and loves me (and pretty much only me). So I decided I needed to have more pictures of us together. We have a box full of her and dad but I needed to have some of us so that I could prove to her in her formative teenage years that she was once a mommy's girl and that I took her everywhere with me. So here is the first "nice picture" we have of the two of us. The ones in the hospital don't count. Much love to all and Mothers we love you.

Ditching Class Already

Mommy got me all ready to go to our first German lesson today and then the dog ran away. He must have run real far cause it took him an hour to get home so we missed our class. Oh well, we can go next week and at least I looked cute.
