I got a Great-Grandaddy.

And guess what he let me do? Ride the horsey again!Grandaddy, my hands smell like horsey.

Can I get some soap over here?

I still haven't got my soap...

My Great-Grandaddy Gene is the best!

Arre!

My Uncle Roger has a horsey. I asked very nicely if I could ride him.I like your pelo Mr. Cowboy.

"Be careful!", said Mama.

Arre! Yee-haw! This is great!

I love Thanksgiving.

Something is wrong with my Pelo!

What is that?!? What's up there?

Oh it's the edamame I rubbed into my pelo!

Nothing more to see here! Buh-bye!

I did it all!

Last weekend was so fun! I got to play with Cora and her sister Penny, woof! Cora said she liked my funky pants. Then I had tamales at Ismael's baby shower. They were good but they got stuck in my mouth!

Then I found a boyfriend! Luis is going to be a big brother soon.

Then Mama and Dada took me to a Longhorn game. Mama said I cheered the loudest of all! See?

But cheering made me tired so we left a little early. Sorry Mack!

Then I saw my Hattie and Pops. I like to make them laugh.

My Mama is proud of me! And I'm proud of my Mama!

Teddy is not the best storyteller.

Bloggy worlds collide!

Cora, come eat leaves with me! Watch out, here comes a car!

That's better.

Aren't leaves delicious?

Mama's Birthday, Part 1

Mama and Dada love Terra Burgers because they are yummy and organic. Eat at Terra Burger! I like their sweet potato fries. We ate on campus...and there were many pigeons there. Oopsie! A pigeon went poopy on Dada's pelo! Mama said it was the best birthday ever!

Dada did not like pigeon poopy on his pelo.

Then we went playing in a courtyard!

There were millions of leaves for me!

Benches are not as fun as grass Mama.

Trees make me happy. I tore this branch off because it was so pretty. Can I have a tree in my room Dada?

I was very drooly this day, see my shirt?

I love leaves but I'm not greedy. Have a leaf Mama!

Mmm, they taste like dirt.

Campus was fun, but there were no babies!

Mami learned how to make boutique bows like this one! What do you think?

Happy Birthday Mama, Part 2

There were so many people at the restaurant and Mama did not let me go say hi! But I did get to open her presents!

Opening presents made me very hungry...

OK, Mama I know you love me but I gotta go play!

Why didn't I sit here all along?

Mama's cake was so yummy! When's the next birthday?

Mami made me matching pinwheel bows just for today!

I'm 9 months!

I got to wear my new PJs to the doctor! I'm a skinny-mini...I've only gained 1 lb. in 3 months! I hope Mama will believe me now when I say I'M HUNGY!!!

Set me free Daddy!

I'm Spidey-Girl!

Nope, I don't need the flu or the piggy flu shot, thanks anyway Doc!

Mama, I said NO!

Why didn't you stop them Dada?

See my Tweety band-aids? Ouchie!

My very first 5K!

Mami wanted to run a 5K for her birthday. We have been training for months! I'm her trainer. If she doesn't want to go running, I just cry and fuss until she takes me out! Here we are before the race. Dada made it!

Mami and Dada were very stinky and sweaty. God held the rain back until we finished the race. See the fog behind us?

My work was done so a good nap was in order. Can we do another race for my birthday Mama?

The race was called Run for the Water and it benefitted The Gazelle Foundation, which helps provide drinking water for people in Burundi, Africa. www.gazellefoundation.com
