My Peachy Visit to Georgia

Tonight we returned from a weekend visiting my southern boyfriend Beckett (and his parents, "Uncle" Brian and "Aunt" Logan). The highlight of the visit was a trip to the Botanical Garden and a ride on daddy's shoulders.


Beckett, if you're not going to look at the camera, at least look at me!


I also loved going to the playground where we went down the slide...and through the tunnel.


I tried to make Beckett breakfast in bed...he told me if I couldn't stand the (pretend) heat, I should stay out of his kitchen.


Thank you for hosting us. We hope y'all will come see us up north very soon.

Will You Be My Va-Liana-entine?

Today was my first Valentine's Day. I had no idea everyone loved me so much. I got so many wonderful cards from my classmates, and at school I made a doily bouquet for mommy and daddy.


It was hard to decide whose card was the best, but Alex's invitation out on a playdate was certainly near the top of the list.


My only disappointment: I thought this was the holiday where you get to eat chocolate!

Perfect Ten

Today I celebrated my ten-month birthday. Not much fanfare, but mother nature did throw me a snowstorm. I was too tired to go out an play, though, so I crawled around on the white couch. That's almost like snow, right?

Walkie Talkie

I got up early this morning and took a brisk walk.


Then we had brunch with Sorin and his parents. It's not the first nor the last time that I pushed an older man around.


Though I'm getting too old to be in my ExerSaucer, it still has some fun toys.

Inaugural Caption Contest

Daddy, can you believe they won't let strollers into bars in Brooklyn? Thank goodness Uncle Spencer and Aunt Julie are willing to meet us in Manhattan!


Think there are funnier captions for this photo? Go ahead and leave a comment!

Happys Birthdays, Grandma & BoPa

While I didn't get to celebrate properly with either of them, I wanted to wish Grandma and BoPa a very happy belated birthday and many, many more. I've loved them since the day I met them...

Keeping My Sense of Humor

Today will be my third day staying home from school because I am sick. That doesn't mean I've lost my sense of humor. Daddy taught me an exciting new trick - I think the noise is right, though I'm probably not supposed to use my whole arm (or my whole face for that matter). Maybe you'd like to learn?
