They say that I am cutting my 2 year molars. People! I am not 2!!
Anyway, Daddy yelled out to Mommy from the living room, "Hurry with the camera!" Mommy ran in and caught me doing this while I watched Oobi.
A quote from Mommy, "we call this uber art because my art is an extension of Gillian's."
Mommy's friend at work gave me this cute purse from Este Lauder--whatever that is! Isn't it cute?
I particularly like how well it carries all of my Hot Wheels!
Mommy brought me some of the neatest toys from her trip to Houston, but this pinwheel was my favorite.
Even Daddy had a fun time helping me get that pinwheel to spin!
What is so puzzling to me, you ask ? Mommy took me to see dancing and dressed doggies. Are adults really this bizarre?
I think the answer is yes. Click here to see the rest of Mom's photos.
Mommy and I were quite busy tonight. Here was my playroom before:
and here it is after:
Mommy and Auntie Adelle took me to the Dallas World Aquarium on Saturday. I had a great time! Here are some photos that Adelle took. I have added my own commentary.
This was one of the two manatee we saw there. They were super neat. I kept pointing to them to make sure that Mommy and could see them. I liked their fuzzy noses.

These two river otters were very funny. They liked to look at me through the glass.
1. What were some tv shows that you used to love to watch as a kid?
I love Oobi and Little Bear. I also sometimes watch 123 Sesame. All of these shows are on Noggin. This is a cable channel focused on toddler/preschoolers during the day, but at night it has Daria and DeGrassi High. So, after I go to bed and Mommy turns it on, it gets a little disturbing.
2. Have you ever broken a bone before?
Not yet. I have had surgery though. As many in my fan club will recall, I had tubes put in a while back. I am also sporting some very pretty rashes that the doctor called "a viral rash." When Mommy asked what she should tell Grammy when she called, the doctor said "either roseolla or a mild case of the chicken pox." Pox! I have a medival curse disease!!
