Mommy and I went to Jenks Lake today, about 45 mins away and in the mountains near San Gorgonio. It was nice!
We walked around the lake, met some summer campers and counselors, put our feet in the water, danced, checked out the trees, and talked to some families. It cost $5 to hang out there and lots of people go to fish. There used to be a place for swimming, but not anymore, though people will anyway! The man who works there said they told him there is a No Swimming sign because of bacteria in the water, but that he thinks the real reason is because they don't have a life guard.
Tomorrow Mommy goes back to work, which means I go to day care. I met me new daycare lady, Janeil, last Friday. She was nice. I think it will be fun, and I get to make new friends!
Jake invited us all over to his house today for a playdate! This is Jake. He is about one month younger than me... in fact, I was the oldest one there today!
Here's my old buddy Trent!!
This was one of my favorite toys!
This is Alex.
Fun! Me and Jake!
Thanks again Jake and Corinna, we had so much fun!! And I even get to see everyone again tomorrow at my house! Yipee!!
PS, Mommy said she thinks I have my first freckle, she noticed it last week and it doesn't seem to wash off... hmmm, I don't know how I feel about this.
This weekend we went camping with Isaac. We went to Boulder Basin Campground and, without reservations, found a spot with a space big enough for our huge tent! Issac was even able to sleep with us, with my pack n play and Mommy and Daddy's air mattress!
Here we are ready to go for a short evening hike to a fire tower. It was a little cool so Mommy covered my legs with this blanket. Don't I look like a ghost!? There's the moon, on the trail up to the tower.
The fire tower was neat! It closed at 5 though, so we couldn't go all the way into the top.
That's San Jacinto behind us.
I really wanted to climb up these steps, but they were too tough.
Me and Daddy!

This moth caterpillar is so amazing! He is so fuzzy.
This is our campsite.
I didn't sleep very well last night...I woke up hungry! I never wake up hungry, so it took us a little while to figure out what I needed. Once I ate, I slept well, but was ready for an early nap the next morning. Ahh, nothing like napping under the trees with a soft breeze blowing and the smell of fresh air!
My buddy Seth (and his mommy Karen) came over on Wednesday to play with me while mommy went to the doctor (routine appointment). Seth let me stack cones on his head! He he.
Then on Thursday Seth and Karen came with us to Story Time!!! Seth is such a good friend. And he just turned 12! So Mommy and I treated him to lunch, a cookie, and a gift at the Game Store. :) Seth is such a great friend, he takes good care of me, feeds me, plays with me, and watches out for me. He makes funny noises and is just overall grrrrreat! Later that day I found Drum Sticks!! They were in a basket on the coffee table, and now that I am getting so big, I could just reach over and grab them! I think I want to be a drummer when I grow up!! Although, I was also playing guitar with Mommy earlier that day, and I am really good at that too! I can strum the strings really well! Mommy and I make pretty music together. She likes to sing songs like Puff the Magic Dragon and her own songs too, like The Ice Cream Song and The Sock Song, and of course Mr. Puffy! Daddy plays guitar too... I can't wait till I can play with them. That will be awesome! Today Mommy took me to My Gym for free play. It was sooo much fun! I can even jump on the trampoline all by myself now!! Someone said I am "advanced" even.
Later we played outside for a while. Do you see all those little bubbles floating in the air!? And today we met Janeil Owen, who is going to be my new day care lady, she is so awesome and has the best garden. Daddy was really impressed! I can't Wait to go to her house! I think I am going to have lots of fun, plus I get to eat out of her organic garden!! Hooray!

Here I am playing one of my new favorite games, empty the ball pit. I am getting good at throwing balls, and really good at pointing, I point at Everything now!
I like to climb on things now, even when they aren't the most sturdy things!
On Monday we went to the Eating Room and Saw some freinds, Dana and her family are moving to Washington, somewhere far north 3o mins from Canada! We are going to miss her and Asher and Micah and Michael lots!
Later on Monday I went to the doctor.
I went to the doctor due to what Mommy and Daddy thought might be a rash or eczema... Mommy was right, it's eczema! So now I have to put on this ointment twice a day and lotion twice a day. Mommy suspected I had senstivie skin, so she has alwasy been good about lotion, not too many baths, using hypoalergenic laundry detergent... all that stuff. Over vacation we couldn't be as careful, plus I ate a bunch of new things... so who knows what set it off. We are going to clear it up though! I doens't even bother me, so that's good. I hear eczema can be quite itchy and terrible. I hope it never gets to that... and hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones who grows out of by 2! I also have this diaper rash that keeps coming and going, the doc thought it might be a yeast infection since it comes and goes, so I have some stuff for that now too. Good thing we went to the doc! She was nice too, she even said I won the cutest baby of the day award! I like her. Oh, and I got weighed, on a totally empty stomach - I weighed 17 pounds 16 ounces, so let's just call it 18 pounds.
PS, Mommy Daddy and Yia Yia think I look like my Daddy now. At least my eyes and hair (not the color of course, that's from Mommy).
We went to Palm Springs this weekend to visit Yia Yia and Papa! We stayed at a different time share again, it was really nice! Yia Yia got me a new toy, Noah's Ark!
The room was great for me to practice standing! I got so much better in just a few days, from standing for 5 seconds to standing for 45 seconds all on my own! This morning we also got to go swimming! We took underwater pictures with our new fancy camera!
Wearing Mommy's sunglasses.

Thanks Yia Yia and Papa for having us over. We had tons of fun!
