Spring!


These last few days have been really nice, a little windy, but really nice. Bodie and I were able to try out our new wagon outside for the first time yesterday. It was fun, but neither of us liked riding in the backward spot. We took turns and it worked out okay.



Before our walk, Bodie was sleeping for his morning nap. Mommy and I played outside the whole time he was sleeping. We even had a picnic snack. I made up a few songs to sing while standing on my pretend stage. This is just one of the many songs I sang that morning.

A Day Out With Thomas At Greenfield Village


On Saturday we took Mimi Becky and Papa Reg to Greenfield Village. Sometimes I get confused and have called it the Red Gardens. The first thing we did was take a Model T ride. Mommy took the picture from the front seat.


All I talked about the first hour or two was how I HAD to get a tattoo. Here's my leg getting a tatoo.



Finally it was our turn to take a ride with Thomas. It was so much fun!! We all had to yell "All Aboard!" so he would know it was time to take off. We were in the very last car so we had a great view of Thomas every time we went around a curve.


Do you see Thomas up there? Way up there? He's the blue engine.


We got a better picture of him when our ride was over!

We had a really great day. The weather was hot, but it was really windy so we stayed nice and cool. Then it got really cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. The wind died down, but the clouds kept us from getting too hot. It never rained except for maybe once while we were on the train. Then the sun came back out while we were on our way to the car. Worked out perfectly!

Bodie isn't a Baby Anymore.



Look what Bodie can do....

He still chooses to crawl because it's faster, but he can walk.

Bodie's one year check up answered the weight and height question. He weighs 21lbs 5 oz. He is 31 1/4 inches tall. The doctor called him "long and lean".

He now has 6 teeth.

He can say a few things:
Key = Monkey
On = On
Aye = Hi- in a pirate sounding voice
momma
dada
"more" and "drink" and "eat" in sign language
He waves for hi and bye, and just today has starting blowing kisses.

He also likes to bob his head to music. Or shake it vigorously when Britney comes on the radio. We can't tell if that means he really likes her or is trying desperately to get her out of his head.

Bodie's Big Day!!!



Here are a few pictures of the cake that Mommy and Grandma Pat decorated for Bodie's birthday. It was a train, made from scratch and then decorated to look like it was on a track going through a tunnel. It was a huge hit!






Bodie getting to eat his engine.



This monkey has become Bodie's favorite present. He hands it to mommy every morning when she gets him out of bed and says, "KEY!"



Daddy couldn't get the helicopter out of the box fast enough. Bodie was hanging upside down trying to get at it.

Henry Ford Museum



A few weeks ago, we took a trip to the Henry Ford Museum. We saw lots of cars, trains, and airplanes. The above picture is me inside an older plane.



Then daddy helped me make a paper airplane. This is the test zone where you can fly your airplane and see how far it goes. Mine actually went really far, but we missed the photo op.



Bodie and I decided we were hungry so we made a hot dog. Bodie is just a condiment....



and I'm the hot dog.



The very last thing we looked at before heading home were dollhouses. (I'm not picking my nose in this picture. It's an optical illusion...)
