July 2012

We had a hard time staying cool this July! We managed to stay cool by playing in my pool and going out on the boat. My cousins came up for their annual weekend trip and we had a lot of fun. They took me to the Mall of America and let me help them make a build a bear (dog) for Connor. I thought that was pretty neat! I still love my baby brother (I haven't asked Mom and Dad to send him back yet) and continue to be a big helper around the house. Mom also attacked a big project this month - potty training!! I am doing very good (although Mom wasn't convinced that it was going to work after the first few days). Bribing me with M&M's seemed to do the trick and get me on the right track!

I am watching the gymnasts at the Olympics!

What a goofball!

Sibling love

Mom says there is no one sweeter (shh...don't tell Abigail!)

Giving Connor his first bath. I got to
help Mom wash Connor's belly! I even
touched his belly button (I think this
is very funny!).

Only a month, but already so big

Playing with duplos at the Mall of America

I am in heaven!! I found this stroller at the American
Doll store and I pushed it around the store the entire
time we were there. I had so much fun!!

Aren't I just a sweetheart!!
