Wheee! Look at lil Mina!
She is learning so many things...
She can stand!

And she can almost clap...

AND she can eat crackers!

She's such a good baby. I LOVE my little sister!

I also love my cousin Michaela, and also I love her neighborhood pool, and her blow up boat, and her swim noodle too!


Swim, 'Kayla, swim!

Mina loved visiting with Michaela, but before long, she told me it was eating time, and she said she needed the boat.
A baby's gotta eat when a baby's gotta eat!



One of Mommy's friends took a few pictures of some of our friends at the park this week. Mina and Grace like to smile at each other while us bigger kids play and slide and run and swing!

Fiesta Trio!

Visiting Luke!

This is my buddy Luke!
Mommy took Mina and me to see Luke and his mommy this past weekend while Daddy was away at a wedding.
Luke is a lot bigger than me, so I did my best to keep up with him all weekend. It was hard work, but worth it!
Luke taught me all kinds of stuff. I learned about how to play on a computer,

And how ride a pirate ship,

He told me it would be OK to ride the big dinosaur all by myself and bounce all around at Monkey Joe's (which is a play place near Luke's house).

And Luke showed me how to climb up on the green tubes!

Luke also tried to teach me how to SLOW DOWN and enjoy the porch swing, but I explained to him that I am a toddler, and I won't really understand that lesson for another few years. Sorry Luke! Is that a BIG WHEEL???

Mina liked to play with Luke too. He's not just for toddlers! Peek a Boo Luke! There you are!

We're going to celebrate Father's Day a week late, since Daddy had to be gone all weekend. I really, really, REALLY missed him, but now we're all back together again!

Moving and Shaking, Splishing and Splashing!

Would ya look at my baby sister? She loves to walk with my Pooh car!





And she loves to wear my bikini! We Mason girls LOVE the water. We looked long and hard for a place to swim on Sunday, and we finally found a place! Mina has never been to a real pool in her whole life, so Sunday was very special!

I told her, Swimming is fun, and splashing is the BEST!



OH MINNNNNA!!!

There you are!

When we weren't swimming our cares away, we were doing all those other things we love to do, like laugh and sing and practice our walking!

We even fit in a visit with Grandpa!

Sometimes, Mina likes to throw in a little pop culture quiz, to make sure you do more on the Internet than check on us.

Who Am I?

Hee hee. Funny baby!

Visiting with family!

Yipeee! Spring time is baseball season, and I love baseball games! On Thursday, me and Ava went to see the Durham Bulls and Wool E Bull! Wool E Bull was very busy Thursday, and I spent a lot of the evening looking for him. I asked everyone if they'd seen him, but after a quick handshake, he was gone! Where'd Wool E Bull go??

With Wool E gone, I had to find other ways to have fun. I danced, and I played with Ava in the playground.

Wheee!

On Saturday, it was visiting time! We drove ALL the way to Richmond to go to Uncle Donald and Aunt Kim's house. And guess what.....Grandma and PopPop were there visiting too! I think Mina REALLY enjoyed having other people carry her around for once! Say Hi Mina!


We took in the sites of Richmond while we were there. We even visited the place where Uncle Donald and Aunt Kim got engaged.


It was pretty there.....especially the big stair case that I got to throw rocks down. Look out!!


When it wasn't raining, we spent alot of time playing in the backyard. It's much flatter than my yard, and has ALOT less dog poopie..


All good things come to an end though. Come Sunday, we had to leave. Bye-bye everybody!
