Happy Birthday, Monkey!

Earlier this week I declared that it was Monkey's birthday. I made party hats and a special donut cake. Yum!

In the saddle

I showed my friend Josie around the Children's Zoo today. She's not quite ready for my "no hands" technique.

All packed & ready to go!

When I saw our new suitcase, I filled it with toys. "I'm ready for a trip to go see Nonie!" Daddy says it's for him to go to Hawaii instead-- I hope he likes my toys.

Long weekend

We went on a family bike ride this weekend, past the bison in the park and out to the beach.

Ready for School

It's my first day of school, and I'm very excited to be a big kid!

Great Birthday!

Now that I'm 3, I can take Doc in a pillow fight. It was a close match, but I'm pretty sure that I won.

Flower Girl

At Aunt Stephanie & Uncle Christian's wedding, I took my role very seriously. Daddy's cousin Denise was my flower buddy, and helped me do a really good job.

Concert

Sometimes I get all dressed up and play my "kanoo-kanoo."

Tortoise ride

After Animal Adventures class at the Zoo, I like to run around and climb on all the statues I can find.

Nature walk

One morning after breakfast, Gramalicia and I explored Sutro Heights park. I picked up every stick, and Gramalicia found some neat pine cones and flowers for me. I liked them so much, I brought them home.

Tire swing

Katie, Noah and I had fun at the playground yesterday. This tire swing is "just like a roller coaster."

Emma's my best buddy

I spent 3 days with cousin Emma in San Diego. She's so great! I tried to show her how much I love sand.

My latest invention

Presenting the Apple Mouth! I'm pretty sure nobody's ever thought of this before. I'm on the cutting edge of food-based comedy.

Go Dee!

My friend Dee walked over 39 miles to raise money at the Avon walk for breast cancer. I helped by picking out a balloon and cheering for her!

Independence day for me

I stayed up really late on the Fourth of July to watch fireworks and party with lots of friends, like Kyle!
