I Like to Dress Snazzy

Last weekend was a craaaaazy one. After not even unpacking from our Houston trip, Momma packed us up again and we hauled out of town Friday for San Antonio. We went to a pretty cool hotel and rode all the way to the top of the elevator to a giant room perfect for playing with my cars. Momma's friend, Helen, and her friends were there too. I was so sneaky and went in the bedroom that was connected to the living room part and shut the door. Haaaahaha they had to go out in the hall and use a key to find me! Then we all got dressed up and rode on a bus! It was the first time I have really been able to see out the window from a car (I sit backwards in the center of our car and there is no view from there) and it was AWESOME!

The bus took us to a huge chapel that is over 100 years old. It echoed really well, so lucky for Momma (and everyone else), Daddy met us there and played with me in the back where I could scream and listen to the echo as much as I wanted. I pretty much got it all out of my system and sat very nicely through the entire (45 minute plus!) ceremony the next day with YaYa and Mr. Sir. So below here is a picture of me standing all by myself. I do not like doing this at all but sometimes it happens by accident.

And one with Momma.

The next day Daddy left to go to Austin City Limits Music Festival (don't worry, Momma and I got to go the next day) and I was left with a hotel room full girls. Everyone played with a lot, especially Helen's sister Tirey! AND I got to take a nap with the bride... on her wedding day! It was an amazing nap with big plush pillows and eventually a king bed all to myself. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Then Mr. Sir and Yaya got there and I hung out with them for awhile and we partied with Uncle Trey.
 There we are leaving the chapel. I am one stellar looking date if I say so myself.

Hehe. That's me checking out the shot block. I told you Uncle Trey and I partied.

And here I am confirming the quality of his crown and coke.

My people! And George.

Bummed George wasn't in this one.

 

So he's in THIS one!

Hands and Faces

One more peek at Jack who seems to have a knack for finding his thumb (fist) before I let you see some more of ME!

I have been getting to play at the awesome park across the street from Uncle Pete's house a bunch since the temperature has FINALLY been less than sweltering. Please ignore the rash on my face. I am on my second type of antibiotics trying to get rid of it. Bummer that something is trying to mess up my handsome face.

On Sunday, the day before Cousin Jack was born, I went to my friend Ada's 2nd birthday party. At the zoo!

 That's Ada! (The one that is not me and not the elephant)

 A baby elephant! It was born in May. These are for you, Ania!!!

 The meerkats are still one of the best animals to watch at the zoo. They are very busy guys and this time there were tons and tons of babies all rolling around and playing.

 Can this chair come home with me?

I"M A COUSIN!

Welcome to the world Cousin Jack! I am so excited to share my brand new cousin with you. He was born yesterday morning, September 27 (remember that guys! Just like me he is a pretty important Dude and will deserve some presents on future birthdays) at 7:09 am weighing in at 7lb 10oz (10.4oz according to his proud Pop) and he's is 20 inches long. And the most important thing is that he is incredibly cute! The second most important thing is that he has hair! If I didn't already love him I would be pretty jealous of his long, thick, medium brown locks of flowing amazingness.... but since we're cousins (and he's the only one I've got) I'm going to forgive him for being born with more hair than I have managed to grow in 14 months. That's right! Today I am FOURTEEN months old!

Momma and I went to see Jack when he was only 3 hours old yesterday. The hospital room is an awesome place to roll my trucks. And there is a cool thing the big people were calling a bassinet that was also on wheels (and an IV stnad that is apparently attached to my Auntie H). We went back in the afternoon with YaYa and Mr. Sir and took pictures!. I don't like when the little guy yells so I tried yelling back at him. For awhile we were yelling together and that was fun, but didn't seem to help him. Okay, I have talked enough I know you are just wanting to see pictures, so look below to see handsome Jack!

Auntie and Me hanging with Jack just before we got to really meet him.

Happy Uncle Pete!

 

 Checking out Jack!

 Jack checking out me.

 So many pictures, but I can't get enough of him!

Galoshes are for Rockstars

Well the rain continued for 3 solid days. 11+ inches. Whoa. BUT we made the best of it and since the water brings out my eyes.... more pictures! Before we took these yesterday evening, Momma and I went for a bike ride around the neighborhood.

Sunday morning escape attempt number one

Getting in some early morning reading on Monday. That's right, I can read upside down.

And then we made it outside!

Now if I could only convince her to get in this...

Yep. Rockstar feet.

Gettin' this stair thing figured out.

Cheeeeeese!

This time I smiled too big and it went creepy.

 

P.S. On Monday I will have a cousin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.P.S. Hopefully before then I will remember to tell you about his crazy fun baby shower.
