My friend

I met Elizabeth a few weeks ago and think we will be fast friends. As soon as she can sit up and hold a toy, we will be good to go! She will be three months next week (I think), but we are on track for playing "oh look at me" really soon. In the meantime I figure we can just hold hands and make fun of our folks.

Key West

I know I am a bit behind in getting this out, but the link to our photo album for Key West is below. We had a fantastic time! I LOVE the beach...the ocean breeze, palm trees, and the water. If I could take all my naps on the beach I would. My favorite times were naps in the hammock with mommy in the morning after breakfast and afternoon naps with daddy on the beach. We watched sunrises (thanks to me...I love waking up before the crack of dawn!) and sunsets and watched the waves roll in and back out again. The boat ride was really cool, but unfortunately it was so relaxing I fell asleep. Oh well, maybe next time. And then maybe I could wear a cool black body suit like daddy and swim with the fishes like aquawoman!



I discovered a natural talent that I have while down there.....I can talk to sea gulls. My sea gull language is so fluent that many people at the pool thought I was a sea gull. Pretty cool, ehh? Anyway, even though there are no sea gulls in Indianapolis, I have continued to practice my sea gull call regularly throughout the day.
