Swimming on the neighbor's Terrace

Hi Everyone!
I know it's been a while since I have written and really that's due to my mother's laziness. Here is a short update for you.
It has been extremely warm here in Graz. We are talking 30 degrees (or for you United Statians thats 86 degrees). I love being outside and getting to run around in next to nothing. Mom says I have to keep my diaper on so I don't potty all over the place. It's totally unfair!
We had visit from one of my mom's best friends, Maria. She brought me a really cool stuffed dog from Norway and she brought chocolate too. I LOVE chocolate. After Maria went home another friend came, this time from Germany. He and I got along really well.



This week the building company has been working on our neighbors terrace because it leaks into our apartment. It actually started dripping in the kitchen and mom and dad were pretty upset about it. Anyway, they fixed the problem, or we all hope so, and then flooded the terrace to make sure it was leak proof. I was visiting my neighbors yesterday and mom let me swim on the flooded terrace. It was SO fun and it sure helped beat the heat.


We also celebrated Mother's day about 2 weeks ago. I got my mom some cool stuff including a little heart that I made for her at daycare. She was really impressed.
I hope you are all well and able to keep cool wherever you are. I miss you all very much. You probably won't recognize me next time you see me because I am such a big girl now...and a jabber box according to my mom. But she's to blame for that anyway. xoxoxoxo Bah-bye

No more mommy Milk!

Hello Everyone!
I have some big news: I am no longer drinking mommy milk!!! As of yesterday I no longer need mommy's milk to go to bed. It was a big change for mommy and me, but we did it and we are both happy about it. After 14 months and 1 week of drinking my mom's milk we decided that it was time to move on. We are both very proud that we made it so long and I think that we made a great team. :)
I am still going to daycare 5 times per week and I love it more and more each day. I love to play with the other kids. Sometimes I don't even want to go home with mom or dad when they get there to pick me up.
I am talking a lot more now too! I can say ahp (apple), hallo, zoe (sort of), ba- nah-nah (banana....usually need a few tries to get it) . I can also point to my toes, my nose, my eyes, my ears and mouth. It seems like I am learning so much each day.
I spend the days, when I am not at daycare, playing outside in the sand box, with a ball, at the park and riding on the back of mommy's bike. I also LOVE to dance. I think Modest Mouse is a good band and can really jam out to their music.


I miss you all! Hope to see you all very soon. xoxoxoxo bah bah
