Summer summer summertime!

It's been a couple of weeks my dear family and friends. Have you missed me? People around these parts will tell you that summer doesn't start until July 5th and that's exactly what happened this year. It's been a string of gorgeous sunny days and the sun doesn't go to bed until after I do. Mummy told me it was because the sun was older than me. I dig it.

Regardless I've been in a supergood mood. Check out all my teeth! My Gonggong came to visit me and took this picture. Thanks Gonggong!

Speaking of teeth, I've decided that biting my mama is not a good idea. Therefore, on my own accord, last weekend I decreed that I was done with breastfeeding. Funny how when mummy and I first started this thing, neither of us had a clue what we were doing. Then it became so routine, but now... well, I decided Mama, I'm a big girl now. You can have a little extra time in the mornings and evenings all to yourself! I think Mama is a little sad, but I'm trying to reassure her how much I still love her even though I'm growing up fast. I've even woken up in the middle of the night a couple of times this past week just so she can come hang out in my room. Isn't that reassuring?

I've also taken full advantage of summer by getting in the pool. When I went to go visit Aunty MC and Uncle Andrew in Vancouver, we got to use their pool, which was heated! Talk about fancy. It was so awesome since it was 100 times bigger than my bathtub at home.

Today I went into a wading pool with Mama and was a pro, splashing around and walking around to check out the other kids. Good thing I got so prepared at Aunty M-C's. I'm loving to walk, but need just that little bit of proprioception with a single finger assist. I am going faster and getting more confidence daily, but I think I'll hold off for a while on taking independent steps. Besides, I think it makes my parents feel useful.

Happy belated 4th of July everyone! I have been a busy girl.

Aunty M-C and Uncle Andrew came down from Vancouver to come see me. I got to pose for Uncle Andrew's camera. This is the look I get when I traipse around the down comforter. The bed is no obstacle course for me! The beginning of July also meant I had to say goodbye to Uncle Jeff. We've shared a lot of good times especially when my parents weren't around. He even taught me his favorite letters.

I hosted a little bbq for him and some of his friends. We had a plate lunch feast! There was so much deliciousness, but since I didn't get to try any of it, I just played with Uncle Jeff. Here he is trying to make me appear like a chubby bunny.

I did however notice these Diddy Reese like creations that Mummy made. I was a little jealous I didn't get to try them, but they looked a little big for my delicate mouth. Mummy has been a little over-excited in dusting off her ice cream maker. With all this delicious fruit around us now, I hope she thinks more seriously about canning so we can save the taste of summer.
Speaking of saved tastes, I hope Uncle JT is enjoying a nice Waiola's shave ice for me! I can't wait to visit him and Aunty Lynne again!

I also have world cup fever. Here's a little clip of me training. GO NETHERLANDS!
