We headed to Lake Hartwell for Mother's Day so Mommy could spend it with MiMi. Daddy and I spent lots of time together that day so mommy could play tennis and swim and the like. I wore my "I love Mommy" shirt of course, in honor of the special day. I didn't get in the big body of water you can see in the background, but I plan too soon. Mommy said it was the best Mother's Day she's ever had.
Me and Mommy went for a Friday evening hike in Pisgah Forest after a day of rain. She let me get down and dirty with just one of the many gorgeous ferns that are thriving in the forest this spring. She told me about the silver ferns in New Zealand and the tree ferns that MiMi loved on their tramp in the Queen Charlotte Sound. I loved the feel of the moss under my hands and the cool, muddy leaves on my feet. The Avery Creek trail is green and serene and the water features were surging.
Yes, that is a bug on my nose. Yes, my mommy chose to take a picture rather than swat that bug off of my face. Yes, she does get many laughs at my expense, each and every day.
I'm really getting the hang of this sitting up all by myself business. I can even read my book while I sit-up, pretty precious don't you think? I wonder how long I can go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..
I just got back from the doc's office for my 5 months old shots, which once again, I took like a man. I weighed in at 15 lbs and give or take a couple ounces. It's all about the number "5" these days as I like to wake-up now at 5am, at 5 months old and 15 lbs. Mom and Dad want to give me "five across the lips" at 5 am, but of course they don't, they just think about it. High Five to all my family and friends!
