Picnics and first smiles

Today I am really happy. We had a fun weekend, and I slept a long time last night -- 4 1/2 hours in a row!

This weekend, we had to take Granny Carolyn to the airport. I was sad she left because I really had fun when she sang songs to me. Then, we went to the store and to a picnic for Tom, Denise and Yoshimi. They are going to move soon, and that's too bad, because mommy and daddy like them a lot. Yoshimi is 22 months old. She knows how to walk and talk. I hope I'll be able to do that some day too. At the picnic, we saw Julie, Jay, Christie and Phil. We also met some new people, including a baby that was born just two days after me. He was cute. Everyone had fun at the picnic. I stared at some trees for a while, and daddy played a game with everyone where you hit a ball with a stick. It looked like fun.

On Sunday, Mommy went for her first run since November. She looked all over for her running shoes before she remembered that she threw them out in the trash during her cleaning frenzy a few weeks before I got here. She had fun anyway, even though she said she didn't break any speed records. I stayed home with daddy and made him bounce on the exercise ball while singing Waltzing Mathilda to me. That is one of my favorite things to do! I also smiled for the first time while Mommy blew raspberries on my tummy. I did it three times in a row so Mommy thinks it must have been a real smile and not just gas.

Today, we went for a long walk. When we got home, I was hungry and started to cry. Maverick the big black dog came up and sniffed my nose. Mommy told him that was enough and to back up. He kissed me first and then went to sit down. That was so nice of him, I stopped crying and everything! This afternoon, Mommy's friend from college, Danielle, is going to visit with Maddie and Anne. Anne is only 4 months older than me. It will be fun to play with each other!
