Growing Like a Weed!

Obviously, it's not the Spring things that are growing like weeds, thanks to this blustery COLD weather...It's ME! I just continue to do something new it seems everyday.
I walk everywhere and anywhere now, and I even know how to pick up the pace when mom or dad are headed my way to pick me up or take something away from me!
On one of the warmer days last week (if we can even call it that?!?!) I went outside and played in the yard while dad was raking leaves. I loved exploring the yard and the grass, but my body wasn't to stable for walking in the hilly areas!


I missed a week of posting so here I am last weekend, getting ready for swim lessons (mom knew that the camera wouldn't make it to the pool since it was just us!) I wanted to just run around in my suit and forget about the clothes that go over it- I'm really going to enjoy Summer! NO bulky jacket or hat, and NO socks (most of the time)


I'm still a terrific eater, but that's no newsflash:)  
Look at all that curly hair! As it's getting a little longer, it's definitely curly when I get out of the bathtub:)  

Adding to my list of things I want to do independently, I LOVE to drink from mom or dad's water bottles! Sippies are strickly for milk and I'd rather have a big person bottle for water... 

This was hilarious! I didn't want to pick it up, but I knew I could get the water out by sucking the top, so I just bent down to it!
Supposedly the kid version of this bottle is for 3 year olds and up, but I think we may be purchasing one long before that:) 

As I mentioned, I'm still eating like champ, and even more independently. Rather than cutting everything into super small bites, there are certain things I can hold and take bites of now (especially considering I have 10 teeth!) My favorites are bananas and any kind of roll or biscuit! 


Spaghetti, as you can see, is a different story! I can do it on my own, but holy moly, what a mess! I refuse to let mom or dad feed it to me though, so straight to the tub we go!

Lovin' bath time with dad:) 

And here's my best pout:(
Isn't it good?!?! I've been putting on this face quite a bit lately! I have more teeth working there way up, so between the discomfort of that and not getting enough food in my belly at any time of the day, I'm gotten good at pouting! I totally melt my dad's heart and he usually gives in to me;) 

I LOVE swimming!!! This week's lessons were practicing the skills we learned the last few weeks is time it was dad's turn to get in the water with me and mom was the photographer.
Here we are practicing 1, 2, 3 Jump! It's blurry, but it was so cute! 

Practicing kicking! 

SLAM DUNK! 
(Making dad proud:) 

Attempting to paddle (or 'splash' as I understand it) and kick 

So independent! 

Finding the foam flowers and putting them away in the buckets:)




It was another great week (or two!)
Have a great week ahead...hopefully we don't have to shovel out too much snow this week- unbelievable to have snow in April huh?!?!? That's Wisconsin I guess!
Love you all:)
Love, Danika
