Did you miss me?

Aunt Ellen says she is tired of reading about picnics. She needs an update! I'll apologize for Mommy, she was not feeling very well the last few days. She took good care of me but didn't have energy left to blog.
I was a good baby and had a busy time! I'll hit all the highlights for you. On Friday I was planning on seeing Grandpa and Grandma but their plane was canceled! Grandpa and Mr. Watson had to drive all night to get to Synod on time. I bet they were tired! I went out for dinner with Mom and Dad. We went to 84 East for pasta. I sat in a high chair and looked around. Our waiter was very nice and picked up my rattle when I threw it out of Mommy's reach. He asked if I wanted something to eat, but I showed him that I don't have any teeth and would have to wait until next time. Mom let me sip some of her lemonade through a straw. It was good! But she wouldn't let me have any Coke.
Then on Saturday I watched Daddy in the Lake Macatawa Triathlon. He did pretty well! I watched the bikes come down the hill and cheered "Na na na da da da!!" Dad finished in 2:22:24. Good job Dad! At night I went to Grandma and Grandpa's house so Mom and Dad could go play golf with some friends. It was the first time Mom ever golfed. She did pretty well. I was a good girl until Mom and Dad came to get me.
Mom had to work on Sunday and Grandpa A came to visit me! How exciting! We all went downtown for the big church service at night. I was a very good girl in that big crowd. I fell asleep at the end. We went to visit Mom at work before we went home since Saint Mary's is very close to the VanAndel Arena. I said hi to everyone but I was getting tired and had to go home to bed.
On Monday, Mommy was very tired. We did go watch Daddy's softball game. His team won! Dad had one walk, one hit and one strikeout. I had fun waving my rattle and saying da da da na ba ba yaaaa!
Mom felt a little better on Tuesday. Anika and Hayden and their Mom came over in the morning for a walk to the playground. Mom took me down the slide! It was so much fun. I waved my arms all the way down. Hayden and I strolled next to each other and tried to grab each other's hands across the space. Our Moms thought that was pretty funny.
Today I was very active and playful. I went to visit Grandma and Great Grandma in the afternoon. I played with the new play table and learned to crawl...backwards. I was trying to get to Mommy but just couldn't get going forward!
At night, my Grandma and Grandpa Algera came to see me! We had dinner and then I played in my pool! It's very hot out and it felt good. Grandma brought me froggies to put in my pool and I splashed and played with them. They squirt water when Daddy squeezes them! He squeezed one all over Mommy. When did I say that Mommy and Daddy could play with my toys? We all had lots of fun. Then I got into my pajamas and we all went for a walk. I got very sleepy and now I'm in my crib just peeping a little. I'll be sleeping soon!
What a busy few days! We better not get this behind again.
