I've decided that today is officially going to be "Dana Is A Big Girl" day. I've posted some pictures showing all my new big girl activities. Here I am enjoying a tasty snack while my mommy and daddy are slaving away at the landscaping. This is the life...

I dare anyone of you other Big Girl's to try this! I am now the master of drinking from my Sippy Cup while simultaneously playing with my toys. Hey, when you got it, you got it!

I shocked Mommy and Daddy the other day and decided to try moving around like Dexter. He's got the right idea, I can get to things alot quicker this way! Now why is Mommy going around putting everything up so high? I don't get her sometimes... 

Since I'm such a big girl now my Mommy said it was time to lower my crib mattress in case I decided to try and escape. But I said, "Me? Try to do something I'm not supposed to? Never! I am appalled by this insinuation". 

Now if I can just figure out how to move these bars far apart enough to crawl out... 

OK, OK. I may be a big girl, but I still don't like being trapped in this crib. How do I get out of here!?!?!? (But by the way, did you see how nice my big girl teeth are coming in?) 

Dear Roxy, Where are you? I keep calling and calling for you and looking and looking for you and I can't find you anywhere! We need to have a talk. Now that you're the new baby and I'm the Big Cousin I have alot of things I can pass down to you. I'll teach you the good stuff, like how to get your mommy to turn off Law and Order so you can watch Sesame Street, or how to make them think it's cute when you smear food all over your face. Stick with me kid, I'll take good care of you. We'll talk some more when I come see you in 3 weeks, unless I find you before then. (You sure are a good hider!) 

Mommy and Daddy put me in this dress last night and brought me down to Tulip Time. I saw lots of my cousins and friends in their costumes too. All we wanted to do was pick those pretty tulips, but mommy says that at $50 a pop I would end up owing the City of Holland alot of money. 

Ryann, Teddy and me 

My Nana's so crazy! 

Here's me with my cousins Elliot, Olivia, and Samantha

 

Mommy says it's high time I start trying some new foods, instead of just eating my (very yummy) baby food. Here I am after trying a strawberry. I actually make this face now before Mommy puts anything in my mouth because I know how it's going to taste... not like my (very yummy) baby food.
