Legoland Part II

I also rode in an airplane with Papa. This looks like the latest version of separated at birth, by the way.
Action shot!

Legoland!

In August, Papa's dream came true.....we went to Legoland! It's only about an hour from us and we bought an annual membership so that Papa, I mean we, can return again and again.

The first thing we did was ride on these cool boats, that you can steer yourself.
Papa let me drive for a while.
I had a lot of fun.....
....until someone else's boat bumped into ours and then I wanted my Mama!

Do not take my picture!

Strike a pose......

Friends!

Mama said that a lot of old Aviano friends are going to love seeing this picture.

Here I am with Nick and Lily! We went to visit them at Ramstein in late July and we had so much fun. We played outside, ran through the sprinkler, played legos, and ate a lot of fruit! The last time we saw each other, I was still in Mama's tummy, so it was great to see them. (Mama was especially happy to see their Mama.)

Gifts!

As the party was winding down, and a couple of my friends were left, we decided to open gifts.
I took my job very seriously, of course.
I got lots of cool Backyardigans stuff.
I also got a lot of books which I love!
I even gave out some hugs (so you know I appreciated the gifts).

Birthday Part II

There was some great bowling action at my party...
....and I participated by cheering for my friends. I even encouraged them to do it "one more time".
Then it occurred to me, I am wearing these cute bowling shoes.....
....so why don't I give it a roll myself? I loved it!

I'm 2!

For my birthday, we invited all of the friends we had met up to that point in Stuttgart. There were kids from ages 2 to 10 there, so Mama and Papa decided to have the party at the bowling alley, so that everyone would have fun.
The theme was the Backyardigans and this is a picture of me checking out the cake. I didn't like it when I tried it though. It was too sweet! I prefer a banana.
They had a nice party room at the bowling alley with enough room for the kids and their parents. We ate pizza for lunch!
I was a little nervous when everyone sang Happy Birthday to me.
But, I liked the part where everyone clapped after the song, and I joined in on that.

Big Girl!

Our temporary house didn't have a crib or toddler bed, so Mama and Papa put a mattress on the floor andI slept like a big girl every night. Mama even bought me this cool princess bedding, which she thought was cheesy, but I loved it! You can also see my friend, Alice, in this picture. We went to Build-a-Bear one of our last days in Rhode Island. I picked her out and picked out a swim suit for her.

Party Time. Not.

In mid-July, we moved into a temporary house at Robinson Barracks. It was pretty dumpy, and Papa had to commute a long ways, but things were looking up when I got invited to a Birthday party the first day I played at the playground by our house.
So, I put on my sunscreen, a cute outfit, and took a nice gift, and...... .....no one talked to me, no one played with me, or talked to Mama and Papa. But, I didn't mind, I made my own fun by putting sand on the slide....
...and picking wild flowers. After 2 hours, still no one to talk to, and no food has been served, so we just left and went to Subway. I like that better anyway.
