All My New, Amazing Talents

I play on the piano (move over Auntie Bronwyn!)

Since Mummy started allowing me, I happily feed myself Cheerios (and anything else I find)

I can climb stairs...all the way to the top. Then I cry for someone to get me down.

I garden. It is more of an art, really.

Non-edible flowers - Pah!

Happy flowers are pretty flowers.

I can stand by myself, unsupported.

Washing Dishes

I do love me some chocolate cake...

Even if I have to get it off of day old dirty spoons before they get washed.

There is something about dirty dishes that just makes me want to play with them.

As the dishes are put into the dishwasher, I sit by to pull them out and make sure that no yummy food goes to waste. (Like chocolate cake)

Mission accomplished!

Day at the Zoo in lieu of Naptime

When we got to the zoo there were many children there....I wasn't sure at first whether I was supposed to watch the children or the animals.

My how wild those children were!

Here I am looking into the fish container.

Next I saw these things...

I thought they looked odd.

Then I saw little monkeys, which also looked odd.

Then I saw meerkats, which weren't as interesting to me.

But I was interested in the camera.

Here is me in front of a boa container.

This monitor lizard wasn't moving fast enough and wasn't furry enough to catch my attention.

And then there were these things.

But I knew a puppy when I saw it! These were in the cage with the cheetahs.

And oh how I like the puppies.

Something caught my eye here. Probably not something that we paid to get in to the zoo to see.

There were kitties at the zoo, but I liked the smaller kitties better since they look more like my kitties at home.

This was an interesting find.

Here I am in the Southern Bald Eagle's nest, with its eggs.

Next I got to see this guy.

Here I am watching him.

And there were prairie dogs too!

And of course the funny looking birds.

And right before we left we went to the aquarium for tropical fish.

I liked those fish a lot.

Oh, I liked the fish...

The Holy Grail

I have been in search of the Holy Grail since day 1.

I have only seen it before today...but now I am mobile and can chase it.

Someday, I shall touch it!

sunday dresses...and ponies

Texas Independence Hall at Washington-on-the-Brazos, TX

Washington-on-the-Brazos is a few Texas miles from Brenham, so if you are going to Brenham and want to make a day of it you may as well go see where Texas became its own nation, free of the control and governance of Mexico.
This is a replica of the old Independence Hall.


Here is me and the Daddy peeking out of one of the windows.

Here I am inside the building.

Yes, that is a t-shirt that Gramma bought me at the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory that we just toured, and ate ice cream at.

Here I look so much like my Daddy's side of the family.

Blue Bell after Bluebonnets

They took me to the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory in Brenham, Tx...and then they made me take these ridiculous pictures before I got any ice cream.

Not only that, they made me sit on a bronze calf before I got ice cream.

...waiting for the ice cream.
