A Tooth.

The week leading up to my six month birthday, I had this pain in my mouth. It made me drool a lot and bite everything. Then, on the morning of my six month birthday, mom yelped when I chomped down on her finger. Apparently I had sprouted something in my gums called a tooth.

I have a tooth but I refuse to let mom photgraph it.

I was really happy to finally be over the whole painful ordeal and long sleepless nights.

image

Painful gums were getting in the way of my beauty rest.

Then I realized it was only the first of many. Sigh.

image

Wait. Humans have how many teeth?

So stay tuned. I think I feel another tooth sprouting in my poor helpless gums.

Mother’s Day.

Today was a holiday known as Mother’s day. From what I can tell it involves dad taking me out first thing to get flowers and scones and lattees for mom.

image

I picked out those flowers. They looked tasty.

It also involves dad rolling out grass in the garden and mom taking pictures.

image

Twizzle had to be bribed to sit calmly next to me.

I don’t know if this is how all mom and dads celebrate mother’s day, but it was a nice day.

image

I love the new lawn dad planted today.

Happy Mother’s Day, mom. Aren’t you glad I made you a mother?

Poor Grampy.

Grampy got his knee re-replaced. Mom said he had a knee and then another knee and now another knee. Sounds pretty kneedy to me.

I know he isn’t feeling super great, but he certainly looked pretty great.

image

Grampy is cool. Even if he is balder than I am.

image

He let me sit in his spit-up bucket. It is something we bonded over.

Get better soon Grampy! I kneed you to haul me up mountains this summer.

Go dad.

Dad has worked hard over the last five years and he finally finished what he set out to do. Mom and I are very proud of him.

image

Dad graduated!!!!

Mom said it was a journey that started before I was born, but was made more special because I was born. Whatever that means.

image

Dad and I matriculated together.

So, on to the next thing, dad!

image

Go Buffs. They now share an Alma Mater.

The Beach.

The highlight of the last weekend was visiting Corpus Christi. The beach was spectacular, and I loved the sand, the waves and, of course, Whataburger.

image

We left at the crack of dawn since the drive was long.

image

We stopped for lunch at Whataburger.

image

I thought the water was cold at first.

image

Mom was obsessed with my tiny footprints in the sand.

image

I loved the feel of the sand. Mom was afraid I would try to eat it, but she shouldn't have worried.

image

I had so much fun with mom in the sun sand and waves.

image

I found the whole experience exhuasting, but I would go back in a heartbeat. What do you say, mom?

Weekend Getaway.

This past weekend I went with mom down to Auntie Gwennie’s. It was an adventure.

image

Three ladies, two generations.

We enjoyed the sunshine on her back porch.

image

Mom goes giddy over this romper and sun hat.

We dipped our toes in the local river that is always a balmy 72 degrees.

image

72 degrees is not THAT warm.

We took in the sights of Austin, including the unintentional tourist traps.

image

Rather great graffiti. Notice our matching cowboy boots?

My favorite part was, of course, the beach.

image

Beach romper, umbrella and the distant waves. Can it get much better??

Thanks Auntie Gwennie for a wonderful weekend!!!
