14 Months - I'm an EXPLORER!

Hi Everyone - I'm sorry I've been a bit behind, but we have been having such a busy summer!  If you were to sum up my 14th Month, it's been all about EXPLORING!  We have gone to lots of new places and each destination has been filled with fun.  Even though I still love to go to the grocery store and costco with Daddy, I have a few added favorites.

1)  EXPLORING THE ZOO - We went with our friends the MacKinnon's to our first trip to Franklin Park Zoo.  We saw a Mama and Baby Gorilla, Lion, Birds, Giraffes and so many more animals...I have read about them in books and have learned to make their sounds, but it was so cool to SEE them.  I had such a blast and my friend Joey was a great wagon buddy.
















2)  EXPLORING Water - I LOVE playing with water.  For my birthday, Nonnie got me this great water table.  I have had so much fun splashing, floating my toys and pouring water on my belly.  It's been fun with the hot summer days to cool off. 












3)  EXPLORING the OCEAN!  We went for my first real trip to the beach as a toddler.  We went last year when I was a little baby, but this was even better!  I was able to say hello to our neighbors on the beach and play with my sand toys.  When we arrived at the beach, I ran straight for the water!  The cold waves didn't scare me at all!  I kept slipping and sliding and giggled every time.  I also tried to see how the sand tasted.  I said  "Mmmmm...," but Mommy said, "Yuck!"  Oh well, I had to try it and see for myself.  I had fun playing chase with Mommy.  Daddy helped me make sand hills too!  I had such a fun day!  I even took a 3 hour nap.  Mommy and Daddy loved that!
