First, my friend Hazel came to visit. Here we are getting ready for our baby eat-off. I think I won, but we tied in the cuteness contest. We had a lot of fun playing together!
I've found that the dog bed is a fun place to play.
This month Mommy planted a vegetable garden. Here I am helping Daddy next to the garden. I have my hat and glasses on so you know I'm ready to help!
I got to go to TWO zoos this month! The first one was called the Zoo at Forest Park. They had a special place where kids could feed the animals. I was very brave and fed crackers to goats and a camel.
I got to meet my new friend Joy this month. She doesn't do much yet but I was showing her a few tricks.
This month I went to Chicago again to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Both Mommy and Daddy came with!First we had a Father's Day party. Here I am with Mommy, Aunt Maggie, and Great Grandpa Sonny.
Everyone wanted to take pictures with me on their laps outside, but all I wanted to do was run around.
I got to play this fun beanbag game with Daddy.
I liked sitting on the step with my cousin Ashley.
Aunt Mimi helped me and my cousins blow bubbles! I love bubbles!
I love Aunt Mimi too!
I got to spend a lot of time with Pa Pa on this trip. He made breakfast for me every day.
Here I am trying to get down and run around while someone was trying to take my picture.
I guess we didn't get the best Father's Day picture, oh well!
Glasses!
Mommy was very jealous that she didn't get to go with us to the Choo-Choo.
It's a restaurant where all your food comes out on a little train. I had a good time and ate a big cupcake with sprinkles. I kept my train whistle, even though I'm not quite sure how to blow it yet.

When Mommy finally had a day off from work, we went to the beach. It was my first time! I didn't really like the Lake Michigan waves, but I LOVED playing in the sand.
The next day, Mommy, Daddy, and Maggie took me to Brookfield Zoo. We got to ride the carousel--Mommy and I rode an aardvark.
With Mommy in the monkey house. Mommy says I'm her little monkey.
Me and Aunt Maggie in the kangaroo pouch!
We watched the giraffes together. I liked them a lot.
Here's the whole family together at Grandpa Sonny's house.
This is my very good friend Harley. He let me hug him and kiss him and pull on his little stubby tail all the time. I love him very much.
I also love this little chair that Grandma bought for me.
Here I am with Pa Pa, Grandma, and Aunt Maggie in front of their house.Back to the beach one more time...we brought Daddy to show him that Lake Michigan is bigger than Long Island Sound. Too bad it was so windy, we all got sand everywhere! What a great trip!
