Birthdays, BBQ and Family

Today we went to my cousin Cole's fifth birthday party and BBQ. I had a pretty good time visiting with my grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins. Even though it was technically only my seven month birthday, Grandma got me a cool stacker toy and pretty new outfit. My cousin Kaity got a baby doll with a puppy and carrying case. I think getting presents when it isn't your birthday is pretty nifty. I really liked my ring stacker and spent quite a while relaxing in my Bumbo and trying to fit the entire big blue "donut" ring into my mouth. If Mommy and Daddy can do it with Krispy Kremes I should be able to do it with this, right?

Here are some photos of the big event.



This is my cousin Cole. He got a skateboard for his birthday and already knows how to do tricks on it!




Here's a picture of Ma (my great-grandma), Cole, me and my cousin Kaity (Kaitlyn). Cole didn't want to sit by us girls. He thinks his sister Kaity is "onnie meanie" and that I might be mean too. I don't think Kaity is onnie meanie at all. I liked it that she sat beside me so that I could touch her shirt. I can't wait until I'm bigger and can play with them!



Ma and I were playing with my "donuts." Ma has sock monkeys at her house. I never knew sock monkeys were so cool until Mommy let me play with the monkeys at Ma's house today. Did you know I also have a sock monkey of my own? It's on my shelf in my room and it has a long tail that's particularly good to chew on!



Here's me and my Pa.




Grandma and I were watching Uncle Chris cook the hamburgers and hot dogs. He had big pinchers to grab the hamburgers and hot dogs, and I was paying close attention to what he was doing.



Here I am on a really scary looking frog at the park with Daddy. I'm not sure I like amphibians, especially ones with yellow and red eyes. Ick.

I had a very good day even though I skipped my afternoon nap and got a little cranky. Tomorrow we have to go to another BBQ for my mom's work. You can also read about my lunch out with Aunt Lelo here last Monday.

See you all later. This little social butterfly needs her beauty sleep before the next big event tomorrow.
