I Love To Swing!

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are doing good, I am great! I got to go to the park today with my Mom and my Nana and it was so much fun! I LOVE the swing. I giggled and smiled the whole time I was swinging, it was such a blast. I hope I get to do it again really soon. My Mom even took me down the slide, I wasn't too sure about that, maybe I'm too young for it still. It was such a beautiful day, not too hot at all! We walked to the park, it was such a great time, even Duke got to come with us. He loves to go on walks. It was so fun to spend the day with my Mom and My Nana - it was a girls day!

On Saturday My Mom and I went to Grandma and Grandpa McPhersons house. We had a great time. I played a lot and showed them how I can ALMOST crawl. I get on all 4's from a sitting position, but I don't let the foot go out from under me, because then I plop on my stomach and can't sit myself up! I bet within the next week or so I will amaze you with my crawling skills. I have to wait till my Daddy comes home though, I promised I wouldn't do it without him. So anyways, then G&G and mom and I went to Joes Crab Shack for dinner. WOW, what a crazy place. It was super loud with music and dancing. I didn't mind it too much, but after awhile, it was just too much for me!

I'm so lucky - I had such a fun weekend with my family!

On a sour note, I'm teething. I mean its about time right? I'm 8 months old (as of yesterday may I add) and NO teeth yet! I think I am going to be getting 2 tops and 2 bottoms all about the same time. I had a few rough days, but things have been much better since yesterday. So I hope these stupid teeth hurry up and get in!

My Dad is gone right now in Japan/Guam/Hawaii. We sure do miss him! But I'm hoping he gets home tomorrow night. It's been just Mom and Me. We are having a really good time, but its just not the same without him here with us.

AND, are you ready for this, my Mom is so crazy! She decided that she wanted to be more "self-sufficient" so we are planting a huge vegetable garden that we'll grow winter and spring veggies in AND we got 5 chickens! yes, you read it right, we got 5 chickens! My Dad is building us a chicken coop! Its almost done. So in about 4 months or so we'll be getting just about 4-5 eggs a day from our chickens! I'm really excited to go look for the eggs every morning when I get a little bit older. We got the Barred Plymouth Rock Breed. That is the breed that my Great Grandpa Heckman swears by... so I hope he is right! These lay brown eggs, but did you know that there are other breeds that lay COLORED eggs. Yes, green and blue eggs. How cool is that? I'm hoping that we can get some of those chickens one day!

Well, I better get to bed soon. I have my busy week ahead at daycare, gotta get lots of rest so I can PLAY PLAY PLAY!
I love you guys!
