No Shirt No Service!

Daddy didn't get the memo.

How Does Anyone Sleep in a Room This Bright?

My Stevie Wonder Impression

Looking for Squacoons on Daniel Island

Charleston Chew

As in "chews" which activities I demand Grandma and Auntie Em to do with me.

Tan-dem

Daddy's been spending so much time writing his book that he never got a base tan. Today, he laid out for a few hours and overdid it.

Mommy (as always) is tanning well.

Auntie Em too.

Grandma's not quite as dark but still nicely baked.

Yes We Can-cun

Got some more QT in at the pool today. Or you might say I pooled up all my extra time.

Everyone had a little extra frizz in their do's today!



Well, except Grandpa, that is.



And my game of peekabo sure didn't help keep the coif in place.

Behind Bars

Our condo overlooks the pool. This balcony is where Daddy got a lot of writing done for his book (when I wasn't on it, of course).

I loved playing on (and off and on and off) the stairs in the pool. Auntie Em did a good job making sure I didn't off myself on the off part.

Happy Baday

Tonight we celebrated an early birthday for me. As you can see in this vid, I was very excited for the cake. And Daddy was very excited by my attempts to sing Happy Birthday.



Clearly, I wanted to have my cake and eat it too.



Check.



Then the sugar started to kick in.

Parting Shot

Athens custom dictates that all assembled (minus the father photog) must assemble for one final pic.

Stant-on the Place Where You Live

Before heading back to the Columbus airport, we checked out Auntie Emmy's new pad on Stanton Ave. It's pretty rad. Can't wait to have sleepovers there.

Park It

Today we hit up one of the parks near Grandma and Grandpa's house. Adam was a bit unclear on how the teeeter-totter worked.



Grandma rode the dinosaur with me. I'd been really missing them ever since I got my cast off.



I had fun playing house.



This house ain't big enough for the 2 of us! No, really, Daddy. It ain't. Get out before you break it!



Sorry, no solicitors!



My new Facebook profile pic. That really is a great camera, Adam!



Adam chased me around for a while.



It didn't end well.

Snooze Cruise

All that excitement at the park wore me out so I enjoyed a snooze while Grandma, Emmy, and Mommy went for a walk around the neighborhood.

La-Z Girl

One of my favorite things to do at Grandma and Grandpa's is laze around the house. OK, not really. That's really Mommy and Daddy's favorite thing to do in Athens. (Which, btw, is how they chose to spend their 5th wedding anniversary today. Boy, they really know how to party!) I, on the other hand, have to be constantly entertained. Thankfully, Emmy's boyfriend Adam was up to the task, letting me play with his fancy camera.



Then Grandpa took over as he went to town on the blocks (literally, he created a town) and Gracie and I took turns knocking everything down.



My real favorite pastime is eating. And Auntie Emmy kept me well-satiated, er... sugared.



Luckily Daddy was occupied on his laptop, otherwise he would've put a stop to this. And by that, I mean he would've just told Emmy to give me the whole cookie!




There better be more where that came from!

Car-a-oke

After QT with the Nehrenz fam, we drove down to Athens with Grandma and Auntie Em, or Emmy as I call her. Emmy kept me company in the backseat. We sang all the songs I know. Both of them. (Itsy Bitsy and Twinkle Twinkle.)

Balloon Girl

I'm getting sick of that Heene kid getting all the attention. So I had Auntie Em get me a balloon of my own.



From that point out, I didn't let that balloon out of my grasp.



Until we got to Grandma and Grandpa's, that is. Thankfully, they have low ceilings.

Totally Be-Cuddled

Auntie Em tucked me in for bed tonight and I gave her a good cuddle for the road. She looks more ready for sleep than I am!

Beach Bit

Today we went to Oak Street Beachtro for DK's b-day. It was a joyous occasion.



Jenny got in her fair share of hold-Ellie time. She's getting ready to hoist a little one of her own!



I got a little bored while the guys were shuffling.



Auntie Em kept me well fed throughout the proceedings. Meanwhile, Rhiannon was pleased that I got the memo that turquoise is in this summer.

I Have a Feeling We're Going to Be Seeing a Lot of this Outfit

Today Kathy came over to take some "professional pics." Mommy and Auntie Em did some primping to get just the right look.



Voila!



Meanwhile, I busted out that "I'm too cool, I just don't care" pose I'd been working on.



We found just the right background scenery at the park.



The upskirt pic sent the paparazzi into a tizzy.



Rollin', rollin', rollin...



Rawhide!



OK, there's too many pics to put captions to all of them so I'll only jump in as needed. (And sorry for no secret messages in the ALT tags!)







That's Tomas, my neighbor. He just moved here from Argentina!





So what if Jesus walked on water. I can freeze time (and water!)

















That's Claya, another neighbor.









Are you done following me around now?
