Spring is Here!

It's finally getting warmer! We went hiking last weekend to look at the waterfalls. It was really crowded, since everyone decided to enjoy the sunshine. I got to ride on Daddy's back...

Don't worry -- I'm buckled in tight!

and then I walked for awhile...

On the trail

Collecting rocks

I speak loudly AND carry a big stick!

and then I rode on Mommy's shoulders.

How do I steer? Maybe if I pull this ear...

Whoa, horsey!

Hiking is fun!

I've also been visiting my friends at the zoo. My favorite animals are now the birds, but I also still like hippos and elephants.

The birdie went this way

It's a pygmy hippo!

Trying to get away from the sloth bear -- it's too close!

My other activities...

Putting monkey stickers around the house

Trying on Daddy's shoes

Eating cookies -- I love cookies!

Helping Mommy set the table

Trying on my new galoshes

I've also learned that it helps Mommy and Daddy when I pose for pictures instead of just running towards the camera. Sometimes I give good smiles...

Nice smile

and sometimes I give funny ones.

My "I just ate a lemon" face

Tomorrow, I'm going to go look at cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. The adventures continue!

Big smiles!
