This is my friend Dakota and her Mommy, Terri-Lynn. Dakota says when I get big like her I'll learn to appreciate some of the finer things in life. She really appreciates chocolate ice cream. Ya think? Photo by Mommy.

Here I am right after taking my bath. I find it helps relax and comfort me just before retiring for the evening for my beauty sleep. Of course, I can never do anything with my hair just after shampooing so I keep it under wraps whenever I think my public might see me. Photo by Terri-Lynn.

We visited Daddy at work. He picked me up into the cab of one of the fire department trucks he works on with the other firefighters. I know I'm growing, but this ambulance seems so big! Mommy took our picture.

Aw c'mon Papa. Elephants aren't really purple! Even at my age I know that!

Grammy Diane and Papa Tom were doing silly things to make me laugh. Then Papa took my picture before I could compose myself. Oh, well. It was fun anyway. Almost 25 weeks old now.

Mommy takes me for a dip in Sabattus Lake, Maine. While I kept watch for alligators and sea serpents, Daddy took our picture. We had fun with our friends who have a cottage there. What a beautiful weekend.

I just noticed my Daddy coming toward me from the Exeter Fire Fighter's booth at the Stratham Fair!

Mommy just let me taste some of Nana Jan's ice cream. Think I liked it? This was at the Stratham Fair two days before I reached 23 weeks! Gosh, I'm feeling old.

My first carousel ride! My first Stratham Fair! My first taste of ice cream! Mommy and I ride the horse while Nana Jan makes sure he doesn't run away with us. What a fun day!

When I think about it, considering the ages of my Daddy and my Grandfathers, I guess I do prefer older men. Tyler here is nearly twice my age and he's apparently a leg man, but I still like him. Photo by Kim, my terrific day-care provider.

Who, me? (sigh) Just sitting here trying to think of something to do. Wish I had something colorful to play with. Photo by my daycare provider, Kim.

Here's my day-care class mate, Tyler. He's much older than I am. Tyler is 10 months and I'm only 5 months. But I'm getting ready to try out for the Rockettes if my singing career tanks. Photo by our great care provider, Kim.

Singing to Mommy. Getting even, you know? She sings me lullabyes to put me to sleep, so I sing her arias to keep her awake. We make a great team. Grammy Diane took the picture. I'm 21 weeks old now.

'O sole mio...' Just practicing for when I can memorize the words. Mommy tells me I can make beautiful music when I want to. Showing off for Grammy Diane who took this picture.

Dakota is playing with me on my vacation. Not too sure if I was about to smile or break loose, but I do love her new home up on the mountain. Mommy rescued me after taking this picture.

Mommy took this picture of my friend Dakota, me and my new dolly while we were shopping in Williamstown, Massachusetts during my first vacation. Boy, did I need it! It's not easy growing as much as I've had to since February.
