whoa, have we got some catching up to do!

mommy and i hadn't posted anything in months, except for a few random pictures, so we decided to get caught up before it gets too out of control. last weekend gram was in town and we had a blast celebrating my second birthday. i will post pictures from our mini-party after this coming weekend when pops, unk b, grammy and grampops are going to help me celebrate again. i am a lucky girl getting two birthday parties... does this mean i'll get three next year for my third birthday?

eating hot dogs for lunch at "the dog"

gram, mommy and daddy took me to my first play, a production of peter pan at the belcourt theatre. i loved the dancing dog and the dancing lion and the dancing monkey... pretty much i love watching dancing but i can do without the talking parts.

a month and a half ago it was easter. we dyed eggs, which mommy kind of messed up because she bought brown eggs which don't color as well as white, but they tasted good to me...

i went to an egg hunt at my friend sofia's house and the rain didn't stop us at all

by the way, in case you didn't know, i love olives. a while ago daddy taught me how i can put one on each finger and take ten with me around the house. this is very very amusing. sometimes i like to share them with mommy or daddy but usually i eat them all myself.

trip to montana

i built a snowfort with daddy and then mommy agreed to come in and lie down with me to enjoy our creation.

so back in february we took a trip to montana to visit grammy and grampops in big sky. i tried many winter sports and loved them all. i went sledding, a few times. i think this was the most fun of all, but

it was kind of nice to ride in the chariot and have daddy pull me while he and mommy went snowshoeing too...

occasionally we came in from the snow and ate.

skiing was pretty exciting too...

as was seeing what it was like to walk on ice. there weren't any skates small enough for me to try skating, but i'll be ready to see how it goes next winter.

we went to a bear and wolf recovery center and i loved seeing wolves and bears up close. the bears were huge!

especially this one inside the museum.

first hair cut

one evening mommy came home from work and discovered i had given myself what she calls "the olivia newton john" look. so it was decided that i needed a haircut. mommy and daddy and gram took me to great clips where they trimmed up my bangs and the back to reduce the mullet effect. it was pretty fun!
