Visiting the Schmidt Farm


July 5th, 2008

We visited the Schmidt Farm in Texas. I saw cows and cows saw me. I also visited my Aunt Natalie’s Parents. They live at the farm in a nice farmhouse. Inside the farmhouse there were two more little people! Natalie’s brother Tom and his wife Kelly brought Charlie (2yos) and Cate (two weeks younger than me!). We had fun playing together.

My Texas side


July 4th, 2008

I visited the Texas Grandpa branch of the family tree in Huntsville, Texas. I saw lots of relatives. I even visited the Sam Houston sign. My Aunt Cousin Christy said I should pose on a pick-up truck to get the real flavor a being a Texas gal. Aunt Jenya’s sons were there with their families: Christy and Ricky; Ann, Rusty and Ashley.

When I visited the Texas Grandparents in their new Victorian Mansion, I had the run of the house in my walker. This is just a short clip of some of my fun.

Go jump in a lake


June 30th, 2008

Texas Grandma and Grandpa have a lake house. They also have a boat and a dock. The big people had fun there. I mostly watched and played in my own little tub. I did get in the water but i didn’t like it or my life jacket.

Mia and me


June 30th, 2008

This is my gal pal, Mia. She and I are old friends. I’ve known her since the week I was born! We played together in Texas at Texas Grandma’s house in Manor (pronounced May-ner). Mia pushed me around in my walker, we had fun like that. Mia also likes to play soccer, but I need to figure out how to walk before I can join her in a friendly match.

Mia is great inspiration. She can play the flute and run at the same time! I think she’s going to become some sort of musician. Or performance artist.

My first hot tub surprise


June 28th, 2008

I had fun in the hot tub at Texas Grandma’s house. Daddy didn’t want to wait for Mommy to get me in a bathing suit and swimming diaper, so he let me join in naked. Babies can do that sort of stuff. Being naked is really relaxing, I took a poo and no one noticed until they got out and Uncle Greg stepped in something squishy on the bottom. Daddy drained the whole hot tub, cleaned it, and re-filled it for the next day.

And on a cleaner day:
