Essie & Dadda at All Saints Field Day
Don't you like my first independent make-up application. Mommy had no idea why I was being so quiet. The colors really accent my eyes-Don't ya think?

This month I went all the way up on the cuteness scale. I can say tons of new words like "strawberries", "bunny", "bible", "fish", "puppies", "happy", and lots more. I sat still long enough to watch my first 20 minute movie- love them "praise baby" videos! I gave my first "on the lips kiss" unsolicited to my mommy. This month my favorite thing to do was help my mommy clean. I love windex, mops, and swifter dusters. I've settled down a little on the obsessive climbing and danger baby adventures to every one's joy.

The Run For The Roses

Pictures from our 2nd Annual Kentucky Derby Party!

This year we had over 140 people brave the rain yet again! Thank goodness for the derby golf cart shuttle! We raised $150.00 for this year's charity, The Daily Bread Community Kitchen, with $$$ from Derby Horse Draw.

Can you say...... Col. Sanders "finger licking good"

Sweet Mr. Hobe Williams

Prize Winner! Richard Clark as Mr. Money

Polly had her own Horse race in the back yard

Essie helping out with her daily chores!

I can say all kinds of new things like "help me" , "ice", "thanks", "guys", and night-night dadda. I love to clean up messes on the floor by wiping up spills with dishrags. My favorite delicacy is "ice". I'm starting to sit still for a few minutes to read books. I love being chased around the house especially when I'm naked. But, my absolute most-est favorite thing to do is run down the hill in the front yard in my bare feet- Wheee.

My favorite Polly sayings this month



1) "I'm as ready as a mom in the oven"! When I said where in the world did you hear that? Polly remarked "mom" "it's just a saying you know". No, apparently I did not know.



2) "The Easter bunny knows everything mom no matter where you live"

3) "When I grow up I'm gonna be a fireman, I mean firewoman like Ms. Vicki's husband".
