What I love about summer

Well, it's a pretty long list, actually, so I'll have to give you just a little taste cause I gotta go have me some more summer fun, ya know?

There's the part where I get to go barefoot and shirtless in the grass, which is awesome...

And actually, going without clothes entirely is very cool, I find...

And I also get to sport some cool shades...

But my favoritest of all is when I get to go swimming!!

Big helper...

... or maybe just making lotsa noise...

Either way, he's very proud.

Memorial Weekend

It will be hard to summarize all the adventures we had over the recent holiday weekend, but I'll give it a shot.

Probably the best part was seeing all sorts of family members who came into town for my mom's cousin's wedding! 

Cousin P-Rock taught me how to ride a snail...

Daddy played with me in the sprinklers...

Grandpa tried to beat me at the "ppffffftttt" game (silly man, doesn't he know there's no contest?)...

Grandma taught me how to read Tajik thanks to my new book...

... and by the end of the weekend, I could read a menu, which was my ultimate goal anyway...

I even got in a little chillaxin' with my ol' man...

I'd say we all had just about too much fun...

Oh, and of course, there was the wedding...

Sometimes...

... all you need is your monkey and your paci...

Figuring it out...

... ok, not really. But C-man has at least been thinking about trying to crawl. So far, he can scoot backwards when we wants to. One day, that core strength will carry him to unbelievable sights. For now, he's content with the living room floor... and often hangs out under the couch.

Aunties

My mom's friends, Blessing and Lindsey, came to visit - they were the BEST! 

They spoiled me and laughed with me and played with me and danced with me and ate with me and it just couldn't have been more awesome. 

I LOVE myself!

(... and my hat and my stroller)
