Daddy's Homestyle Joy

Yeah, this is what I get to come home to every day!

FOOD please!

I've been eyeing--and trying to grab--that big people food for a few weeks now. It looks so interesting. And like everything else, I want to test it out in my mouth. Then I can really grasp its meaning. Well, Mommy and Daddy are catching on. Now that I am five months old they gave me a big treat: rice cereal! First I licked it from Daddy's finger and then from Mommy's. Very interesting.

It's especially fun when it glides all over my face. Later, I ate it from a spoon. Today, I told Mommy that I can handle the spoon myself, thank you. I really am getting to be a big girl!

Master Doctor Mommy

Mommy graduated on Sunday, May 17th. Now Daddy calls her "Master Doctor Wifey" so I'm calling her "Master Doctor Mommy." Heehee. I'm getting very vocal these days. It's so fun to practice my sounds! But on Sunday I had to practice being quiet during TWO graduation ceremonies. Mommy received her MBA from Willamette University's Atkinson Graduate School of Management and her Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from WU's College of Law. The ceremonies were colorful, musical-and even a bit inspirational. The best part is that Mommy is all done studying--mostly. She will still need to make a giant study effort to pass the bar exam. But she is all done with school and classes! Yippee!!! Time to play, enjoy friendships, work in our garden, and volunteer in the community. Mommy is going to save the world from the evil human traffickers and slave traders. I'm excited to see how she does it!!

A Visit from Glama and Doc

This week the sun has been shining as Glama (the glamorous grandma) and Grandpa Doc came to stay with us. We all had so much fun playing together. We took a trip to Seaside, OR where we picnicked on the coast, played on the sand, toured the aquarium, ate seafood, and enjoyed the sunny weather. It has been fun to get to know these special people. They are extra great cuddlers, bouncers, and stroller-pushers. :-) What a happy time!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mommy and I are spending a lovely day enjoying the spring flowers, the sunshine, and mother-daughter cuddles. :-) Daddy helped to make it a swell day by making a great breakfast AND even doing the dishes. What a guy!
