My Penance

I had to tell Daddy to quit being so juvenile. Every time I told him what the title of my post was going to be, he started giggling. Finally Mommy told him to grow up and told me she'd explain it all to me in a few years. Parents are so weird. Anyway, I didn't really do anything wrong, therefore nothing to atone for. Bebe the Dog is staying with us again this week and I am so thrilled to have her. She tolerates me, and she doesn't seem to mind at all when I play in her crate which I have done multiple times this week. She leaves Friday, I'll have to get some cute pictures of her then.

My Volunteerism

I neglected to mention in the previous post that Daddy and I volunteered for Mommy's Tri. The even boasted of having an all male support crew, but I made it all male and one little girl. Daddy and stood at the run chute for 3.5 hours directing the runners where to turn to start the race and where to turn to finish the race. Daddy had to take the obligatory self shot of us. He's wearing his volunteer shirt that says Triathlete Chics Are Hot! Maybe I can be a hot triathlete chic some day. As you can see, volunteering wore me out, so I settled out for a nap in my stroller covered by Mommy's Pink Power towel. A good time by all was had. A shout out to all the sisters out there (500 or so) who did the tri. You go girls! But especially, GO Mommy GO!

My Mommy's Tri

Mommy did her third triathlon in a year this past Sunday. She did the all girl Pink Power Tri that was put on at the Midlothian YMCA. It was very exciting to go and be in the thick of things and watch everyone go by. The results are not yet posted, but Mommy thinks she did pretty well, better times than her other tris, but is not sure where she placed comparatively.

My Height Chart

Not much to say about this except that Mommy got me a height chart some time ago. Every so often, she marks my progress. So far it's been one year and 18 months. In the last six months, I'm proud to say that I've added 5 lbs and 2.7 inches. Go me!

My War Wounds II

So I had my 18 month appointment today with the cute Dr. McKenna. He wasn't looking quite as cute after two shots and a blood drawing where they had to search around under the skin on my arm to find a vain. But I got bandaids so it's cool. The vitals, I'm 25 lbs, and 32.7 inches long. Putting me solidly in the 75th percentile. M&D are proud but want to know who my parents are who had such a big girl?

My Daddy's Crazy Sport

Daddy has taken to riding mountain bikes on Sundays recently with a couple of his friends. Normally he does ok at it, but this week had crashed. He said he fell over into a ravine, but at least there was a nice cushy log there to break his fall. What I'm showcasing here is a lovely array of colors on his kidney, it actually continues further on down, but for the sake of PG pictures, I'll keep it to just this shot. Why does Daddy want to go off and hurt himself like that?

My Safari

Meme Too and Dave took me to Jurassic Park last weekend. A friend's son was having a birthday party and it was fully dinosaur themed, including one to ride on. I got sent home with my cool hat and loads of other dinosaur paraphrenalia. Mommy said that she would never be keeping up with the Jones' Birthday Parties. Not really sure what she meant by that, but I certainly had a ball. M&D said they just sat on the floor and sulked and pined for me the whole 3 hours that I was gone. Not sure if I believe that.
