papa'm

i'm going!!!!

to meet my papa!!!!!!!
my aunt brendie (with help from auntie em) is flying my papa to chicago and we (my mama and i) are going to meet him there!!! i can't wait! he says has been hearing from everyone else how cute i am but he wants to hold me in his arms himself! oh i can't wait! i have been hoping and praying for this day for seven weeks now and i am going this weekend!! i'm gonna stay with my aunt anne at her house and that's exciting too!

oh yeah, and all you e-ville crew, i'm rolling to you next! straight down from the windy city!

i spent some time with my aunt brendie this weekend! also with noah and my uncle elias. i got to see fireworks for the first time! they were so pretty over the lake! and my grandpa took us on a private tour of yosemite! now that was beautiful!! megan came too, but i don't have any good pictures to show you; sorry about that. maybe next time she comes!!

i went to sacramento to meet my extended family! this is my great grandmother! we had so much fun together. she rocked me in her rocking chair and sang to me! i loved it. she made me smile a lot!

bon nuit

been busy

well, fans, i've been busy. uncle elias asked for some more pictures as though i have nothing better to do than pose for the camera all day. what have i been up to, you ask? well, i had to take this picture for my dad so he can see me in my cute onesie.
then i fell asleep on uncle elias' shoulder while watching "oceans 13."
then nana and i sent out some emails.
and then i took a nap with mama. we sleep at different times than you all. see, i have to eat more often than you, so we get up a lot in the night and i eat. this means that sometimes during the day we take naps to try to make up for not sleeping at night. it doesn't always work, though, and my mama yawns a lot.
i have another full day tomorrow because we have a bunch of friends from hollister (the town where my mama grew up) coming to visit. that means i have to go to sleep now so i can be ready to meet everyone. i hope you like these pictures and they tide you over for awhile!

faces

mama says i'm expressive, whatever that means. she watches me and laughs all day. she says it's hard to get anything else done. i'm not trying to distract her, i'm just reacting to this place.
