Here I am on my first day learning to eat with a spoon instead of my fingers. Mommy says eating with my fingers is very messy. Using a spoon is so much neater and more socially acceptable. I've noticed that I do eat less when I eat with a spoon, which should help me maintain my figure as I age. Give it a try if you'd like to lose a few pounds. Just another tip from Gracie.

See? I can lift this heavy box. Just because I'm petite, feminine, beautiful, and cute doesn't mean I'm not talented and strong! Oh, yeah. And modest, too. I almost forgot.

Is this cute enough for you? Seems like every time I sit down to eat someone wants to take my picture. Even at Easter! Okay, I'll smile so Papa can take another picture. Did he get my good side?

Grrrrrr! Too bad you can't hear me. I sound ferocious. Just like a bear! Grrrr! I know. I look too innocent and sweet, but I really can growl with the best of them. It's all for fun. See the twinkle in my eyes?

Ha, ha, I can stand up in my wagon. Mommy says I have to sit down if I want anyone to pull me around in it though. I have lots of room for stuffed animals, toys or other riders and I do love to go fast! Now that the weather's nicer I'll have to line up a bunch of volunteers to pull me. So far, that's not been a problem. Let's see. Who's the fastest?

Look at my new hat box! Of course, I don't keep any hats in it, silly. Toys, stuffed animals, kerchiefs, and anything else I can pick up I put in it. Then I carry it somewhere and empty it out. Mommy caught me with her camera just as I was about to enter the kitchen and begin the emptying out process. Oh, well. Better luck next time.

Mommy photographed me in my new watermelon sweater and hat. They were hand made for me by a friend of Nana Jan. I've been told this makes me look a bit older and more sophisticated. It's just the effect I was after. Can't be too careful at my age, you know.

Do I look happy? Mommy snapped my picture just after giving me my first taste of cantelope. Yum! Put this on my long list of good things to eat, please.

Daddy took this picture of me riding on a swing at Camille's party with cousin Abby watching out for me. Mommy says Abby does a good job watching out for "the little ones." I bet she'd make a good babysitter in the near future.

Here's another photo taken by Mommy at cousin Camille's first birthday party. Daddy's holding me while I go for grand aunt Gail's bling. Nannie is enjoying watching me grab someone else's jewelry for a change!

Here's a nice multi-generation photo. Daddy's holding me and I'm holding on to his grandmother, my great grandmother, Nannie. Next to Nannie is her husband, Daddy's grandfather, my great grandfather, Bumpo. Mommy took the picture of us all helping to celebrate cousin Camille's First Birthday.

Camille and I had a bash at her first birthday party. It was a hoot. I could barely walk and she was flat on the floor! We are just two party animals! I can't even remember if Mommy or Daddy took the picture.

After a long day touring Washington, I bathed and then thought I'd write a few postcards to friends and family. My nice warm blanket convinced me I needed a few winks so my blog site will have to serve as my postcards to everyone. I can't even remember who took the picture, Mommy or Daddy.
