My First Race!

Today I ran my first race! Well actually I rode in my stroller while my mom and dad ran but I was really good the whole time (I only whined a little bit)! It was the WTTW fun run in Lincoln Park. There were so many kids there! Dad took me in this blowup tunnel that looked fun but...not so much. Maybe it was the wind blowing through the tunnel that scared me? In any case that's me crawling out at the end crying. So since that went so well mom decided to take me in a big bouncy obstacle course which was equally scary! Then it was race time. The next picture looks like I'm wishing that little girl in her stroller good luck but I was really telling her that my dad would beat her dad in a race any day:) Uncle Joe came to watch the race and turns out my dad really did kick butt for his first race! I gave him a big hug at the end because he did so good!

Goodbye Gymboree.

Goodbye Gymboree, summer has ended. Goodbye Teddy who screamed at the top of his lungs for no reason. Goodbye Bear, your name doesn't sound so strange anymore, and you were fun! Goodbye song time, I was over it already. Goodbye hills I conquered and tunnels I climbed through. Goodbye Gymboree I'll miss you but I'll be back this winter and if you think I am a fast crawler, just wait til you see me runnin'!

Local Pool

So mom finally figures out that there is a local public pool with a kiddie pool at the END of the summer- thanks mom! Uncle Joey, mom and I checked it out last week. It was pretty fun- you know me I love swimmin'!

My Family Vacation to St. Louis

My family went to St. Louis for a friend's wedding this past weekend. Here I am at the St. Louis Zoo. We were on a trolley that went through a dark tunnel, it was hard to see so I opened my eyes really wide. Mom and dad were rolling laughing at me. I rode a carousel and saw bears, elephants and really big fish. That's me and my mom at the wedding, I was tired so I didn't stay long but I had fun!

St. Louis continued

Here I am at the St. Louis Zoo. We took a trolley around the zoo. I'm making the people behind us laugh as I smiled and waved at everyone and showed them how I can woof like a dog. Below that picture is the one where I'm looking out the window of the Gateway Arch downtown St. Louis. And that's me and my dad at our hotel swimming and me walking- almost all by myself! Soon!
