Spring is here

Making brownies (from scratch) for a La Leche League meeting:

"Watering" the blackberries:

Riding the trike down the slight incline in front of our house:

Attempting to go outside and play with my new sidewalk chalk. Instead, I was too excited about getting into my baby car seat.

Homemaking

I've been having a lot of fun this weekend helping with things around the house. We made cookies from a cook book grandma mcdonald gave Mommy Laura a while back. They were really good. I also really enjoy 'cleaning' everything I can with my vinegar bottle. I took out every pot and pan and sprayed them off. Daddy Pat is away for a few days, so hopefully all the cookies will be gone before he gets back! (just kidding, we saved you a few)

Blueberry Pizza

On the way home from work/daycare today:
Mama: We should make some cookies this weekend. What kind of cookies would you like to make?
Anya: Blueberry Pizza Cookies

This might be partially inspired by one of my books "Blueberry Jam" The author is the mother of one of mommy laura's former co-workers.
Aunt Tah Tah found a (what seems to be very very sweet recipe) for such a thing. Who'd a thunk it?

Creative Weekend

Inspired by one of Mommy Laura's favorite parenting books and blogs, she made me a new hat this weekend and we have a new hideout behind the couch. For those of you who have visited our cave, this is a "cave within a cave" and is a great place to sing "Bears are Sleeping" and to eat pizza. One doesn't need a lot of space to have fun:

My friend

This is me with my friend Saki. We have been friends since Day 1. You may recall previous posts of us playing together.

Candid camera

It may look like I have paralysis to Cranial Nerve VII, but this is just my attempt at smiling!

Grandma and Aunt Tah-Tah came to visit me recently. We had fun putting on our babushkas:

"Holidays" weekend

This weekend is Valentine's Day and Family Day (Monday). Mommy Laura and I went to Buffalo to see Sonja, 1 Toothless Morgan, and John on their way to Ohio. We had fun pushing each other in the high chairs. I also helped Mommy Laura make some chocolate covered strawberries this weekend. ummmm.
