Wow, this is fun! I'm learning to paint, abstractly, of course. I select the colors, squirt them creatively on a spinning canvas and, "Voila!" A masterpiece! I'm still waiting to hear from MOMA or The Guggenheim, but I'm sure they'll be contacting me soon. Stand back now. This could be serious!

Here I am with Grandpa Dave. I'm practicing to smile like he does. Almost. Not quite there yet. Maybe when I get a little bigger. But will he be able to hold me up then? Being little does have its advantages.

Here I am, playing sick in a hospital bed. The doctor has just given me the news. I have to have a SHOT!

Stand still. Look at me. Smile. How do you like it? Now you know how I feel. Always being told to smile for the camera. And I've never been paid one red cent for all my posing! I ask you, is this right?

This is a high one. Even trickier than the dome I was climbing on last time. I seem to always be climbing to new heights. It must be the challenge. And the thrill. Or the subconscious wish to be taller? Hey, I've got it. Analyze this!

This is very tricky! It's on the playground of my friend Dakota's school. Don't tell anyone. I'm only three and shouldn't be playing on these "big kid" toys.

Mother's Day, 2008.
Cetta, Tyler, Nana, Mommy, Me, Blake and Grandma went out for a walk after we had brunch at our house. It was a beautiful day for our Mothers and Grandmothers.

Here I am sitting with Dakota on her porch on a beautiful Spring day. She's Mommy's best friend's daughter and has known me all my life. Dakota goes to school and knows how to read and write. I'll learn that when I go to school, too.

You look funny! Maybe it's because I'm upside down, hanging from a bar at my gym. Ya, think?

Whenever I'm watching a scary DVD I need to reassure myself that everything's really OK. That's when I need my "passy" to comfort me. I'll stop relying on it someday. Just not yet, Mommy.

I know. I'm three years old now and I shouldn't need my "passy" but, when I'm winding down after a stressful day and kind of zoning out in front of the TV, I find it helps me relax. Like a cigarette, sort of. But, of course, I don't smoke!

Oh, excuse me. I'm brushing my teeth before I go to bed. Mommy and Daddy have beautiful white teeth and they tell me if I brush mine I will have nice teeth when I am as old as they are too. That's what I want.

Brian's driving the fire truck and I'm navigating. At least that's what we're playing at here at the beach before the crowds get here this summer. We have lots of fun together.

Whee! I love to swing. Especially here at the beach in the off season when there's no crowds. It's like I have my own personal playground with a few close friends here to play with. Whee!

Whee! See, I can swirl like a ballerina! This is a new outfit Mommy bought me for summer. I just had to try it on and see how it fits and swirls. I'll grow into it.

I'm getting out my pajamas so Papa can read me a bed-time story that Nana bought for me. I went to see it with Nana in a play, too. It's called "Goodnight Moon." It's very, very good.

Here I am at Junior Gym on the balance beam. As you can see, my brother, Blake, is trying to get on while I'm trying to walk past. Not good! How will I ever make the Olympics if he's going to constantly interrupt my practices?

I'm dumbfounded. I could have sworn the Easter Bunny already came! I had nothing to do with this. If he came back, it had nothing to do with anything I've done. Honest!

I love to sing, and I do a lot, but when people are around I need to sort of blank them out and just think of my singing. I'm not really ignoring them, just concentrating on my songs.

Uh, huh! I baked and decorated this Easter Bunny cake myself in cooking class! Honestly, I did! Amazing what you can do once you reach the age of three!

Here I am ready to do something fun to Papa. I just know I'll enjoy it.

This picture goes way back to when I was only two! Nana took my picture riding in The Cat in the Hat's car at the mall. Now that I'm three I'm not sure I would even fit in the car any more!

Awww! Grandma just opened her birthday present from Blake and me and told me she loved it and us. I love birthdays and how they make me feel.

Blake and I can have fun doing almost anything. Doing nothing. Just horsing around before going to bed or just after getting up. We make a good team, don't you think?

Aw, Mom! I wanted my hair in pony tails for any pictures! Now I don't look like Cindy Lou Who!
