Sea-Town, my Hometown

In the first part of June, Mama and I took a trip to Seattle, to see friends and family before we moved to Germany. I was a little hesitant during the trip as we had just moved out of our house to the beach house, Papa wasn't with us, and a lot of people wanted to touch me, talk to me, etc. But, I did have some fun moments.....

.....like when I went the the Seattle Children's Museum with Uncle BeeBee (Billy).
I was very serious while we tried everything out. When it's time to work, I get down to business!
After the Museum, we went on a couple of rides at the Fun Forest. They acted like it was for me, but I think we went just so BeeBee and Mama could reminisce about trips with Great Grandma Trude and Safety Patrol Day (can you say uncool?).

Zoolong, Farewell.....

While we lived in Newport, I made many trips to the Roger Williams Zoo. On May 31st, we took our last trip there before the big move. I, as always, bought a conservation sticker for a dollar. A year ago, Mama had to pick one out for me, but now I make my own decisions. I went with the butterfly that day.
I loved seeing the giraffes and elephants, but I also loved running across this deck over and over again.
We went inside a butterfly exhibit, where you could get up close and personal with them. One even landed on Mama's head! It was too humid in there, so Papa and I didn't last long.....
.....but Mama stayed behind and got some cool shots.

Just Beachy

In May, we moved from our "house" in Newport, to a beach cottage in Middletown (right next to Newport).

The best part about sort of being on vacation.....
.....eating Cheerios right out of the box, on the couch, while watching the news with Papa!

One More Time!

Whenever I want to see something one more time, this is how I ask, with my finger up against the side of my head. I have been known to use this technique to ask to see a TV show again, to ask for a second banana, and to ask someone to stub their toe again (because it was so funny the first time).

4 Eyes

Grandma came to visit us one last time in Newport in May and I tried on her glasses. Why does everything look upside down? More importantly, why am I wearing a pajama top with a skirt?

Beautiful Ballerina

Here I am as a lovely ballerina, getting ready to head to class.
Here I am being myself.

Can you do toe work in Crocs?

Make Yourself at Home

Here is the Kork-a-dingbat hogging my chair! Is she actually sitting up.....

Hair-brained

So, you are probably wondering what is up with my hair. Normally it isn't in my face like this, but it is a bit out of control. Mama doesn't want to cut it because I have all these curls in the back and she can't stand the idea of cutting them off. I won't allow ponytails or barrettes for more than about 5 minutes. And, when Mama tries to wet it down and control it a little, I fluff it back up, because I like it a little wild!

Harvard Law Anyone?

These pictures are from mid-April.

Mama and Papa took me on my second college visit (first was to Brown). We visited Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.
Papa and I played at the park with all of the other smart kids.
Here I am doing a little archaeological dig on the field where they filmed a scene in the film "Legally Blond".
Here I am trying to take a piece of Harvard with me.
This is the spot where George Washington took command of the US Army in 1775. Talk about some history.

I could do Harvard.

Work it!

Mama and I have some serious work to do to get my blog back up-to-date! We are going to work furiously (between unpacking boxes) in the next few days, so keep checking back. You are going to be surprised by how much I've grown...........

I've missed you,
