Question Please? Excuse Me..?

Excuse me, but I have a question for Mom....

Dear Mom and Dad,

I have great news… Nana got me to Goldfish Mini class today and instead of being late with traffic…. we were early!  REAL EARLY, but it was cool.  Nana got a chance to get me changed, and I played with toys and visited with Great Grandma, Great Papa and Great Aunt Pam.   My GMP, Uncle Nick was there, but all the other campers had class tonight… ‘tear’.

Here I am with the class…

THE MINI'S AND I... DOIN' THE MINI THING!

Now I have a question for Mom…. see, I am thinking since Nana already has six kids… and had MANY MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO EMBARASS THEM, must she embarrass me too?   Is that fair Mom?   I mean, there I was …. all mini – ed out, being a part of the gold fish mini-class… AND SHE AND THE BEAST… START POPPING PHOTOS OFF LEFT AND RIGHT…  can you see me thinking here… “what the heck Nana?   This is so not cool…

Nana... we are trying to swim here... pleeeease!

Nana asked the mini parents, “would it be okay to take a photo or two?”….  A PHOTO OR TWO!… HOW ABOUT A BAZILLION?   Uncle Nick always asks Nana, “who taught you how to count?” since she tends to either under estimate, or overexaggerate OFTEN.  (Kind of like UNDER ESTIMATING HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES TO DRIVE TO GOLD FISH MINI….eh hem…) Maddie, Etta, Simone, Alex and Connor were all there tonight… and of course your little princess ‘ME’ too…   we all had a blast… kickin’ and a splashin’  -floatin’ and  a slidin’  it was the best tubby ever…

Hey, who is that lady with the camera... ?  I am busy hanging with my peeps....

The faces of my buds taken by Nana and the Beast…

Can you say it with me , come on… this is EMBARRASSING NANA!

But cute… and so sweet…

I guess I am glad she is a photo bandit…

I will have photos of this for my Camp Nana memories… and I know both mom and dad will be happy to have them.

So I guess it’s okay….

Maybe…

 

I just went under water... I am so brave!

I go under too.... but who are you lady and why don't you ever swim?

Hey mom... why is she taking pictures of me?  She sure is funny .....

I just went under water...and I think it is awesome... I like getting my picture taken!So now you have seen my friends at “mini’ class, and they are all so nice to me.

 

I have a pretty big support team here, not only in the water, but on land too…

Swim class is now officially a spectator sport… and everyone sits in the sweltering sauna like conditions… just to see these little faces smile and enjoy… being mini’s!

Thank you friends for putting up with my Nana… she can be a bit much sometimes, but I have learned to just roll with it…

This weeks enterouge…. and last week, Great Great Aunt Ida, and cousin Nancy too…. BUT NO ME, (eh hem remember, poor timing and traffic)… (double tear)  

Spectator sport?   I get a lot of support from the family... thank you REALLY it means the world...

These are called Monkey Jumps... and I LOVE THEM...

I enjoyed class very much today, I went down a slide too….

Down the slide, into my GMP's arms... I was awesome…

I hope to go to Goldfish Mini class with you and daddy when and if you get to come and visit me on R&R…

You will love the friends I have made, and the fun that I have…

 

When we finished swimming, I was so tired, we went to eat with the family, but I slept through dinner, which you know what that means don’t you…

PARTY my crib TONIGHT!   After a few z’s, I was ready to go, go, go…

Who wants to dance...? Any one?   Come on, I am ready!

I know, it is late, but all the campers are home from school, and I want to visit …

and visit,

and visit,

and play,

and play,

and visit, and ….

yes… PLAY!

So Aunt Arri and I did the whole Patrick Swayze Dirty Dance thingy, and I spent a little quality time with all the gang… and then I sacked out, but here I am before I turned in for the night…

Do you think I am happy?   THAT WOULD BE A HUGE  YEEEEESS!

Mom and Dad, I feel so lucky to be able to enjoy so many things thanks to your hard work and your huge sacrifice.  Nana says it is hard some days to send love letters, because she doesn’t ever want you to be sad that you are not here at camp too, but she knows that your seeing me every day like this, is the only thing she has left to give you now that you are big “kids”.   She knows she did a REALLY good job embarrassing all the campers and you when you were small… things like taking all of you to the grocery when you were smaller, and following her around the store like ducks after a momma duck… with two or three shopping carts, gallons of milk, loaves of bread by the stack full, and as you all got older, having supplies shipped to the front door for all the kids on the school bus to see as it passed by… but she really is just about taking care of her kids… and hoping some day, some how, some way, they will know… she never meant to embarrass…. or be too strict… SHE ONLY WANTED THEM ALL TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY.   For a short while… she has the opportunity of sharing this ’embarrassing’  stuff with me… I AM JUST GLAD, I AM A TODDLER… AND NOT A TEEN… Nana says, you and daddy get to do the teen thing… and she is going to just hang back and hope I am as sweet and adorable for you then,  as I am now… (just don’t laugh when you hear things she used to say to you, come out of your mouth with ME –  as Nana, says she won’t laugh either… ‘much‘)  Until tomorrow, please know I love you both, I thank you for all you for letting me have so much fun while you are working, and  I am sending a squeeze to get you thru to another day… I am as always

YOUR  ONE AND ONLY Good night, I love you!

LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR DAUGHTER,

 

Guillianna!

 

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH  TO ALL MY MINI FRIENDS….

FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY NANA…

SHE’S JUST TRYING TO HELP HER KIDS SHARE IN MY AWESOME TIME WITH  ALL Y’ALL.

Still Teething…

Now you see it... (the little ring thing) Dear Mom and Dad,

MEET MY BABY LIFE SAVER!

I love you both very much.  Hope you are both well.  Sorry for delay in my love letter, but never worry, because if it is late, it is just Nana, she is old and a little broken, but is trying to get with the times even if she and  her equipment are anceint…. but here I am…. FINALLY.. still teething but here!

Pose of the day!

Happy Birthday to my cuz and Poppa!

Until tomorrow mom and dad I am as always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Me being shy!

Guillianna!

I Am Just Sayin’…

Dear Mom and Dad,

So, how are you today?   I have so much to tell you today.   First off,  not that I am the complaining type or a Negitive Nellie…, and not that I would ever use a princess like whine…  I am however,  just sayin’ that after ten months on this planet, I have decided unequivocally that TEETHING is NOT FUN.   Nana and the Beast…. well they worked at getting some photos for you today, and well let’s just see if you notice a pattern here…. none of these next pics are duplicates…   

I don't want the wrapper off I like the sound it makes...

What?  It's good like this!  Want one?

Oh yes.... that's the spot.... ahhhhh! I am telling you… I am so fixated on biting, and gnawing, and just plain chewing on anything and everything, that it appears my little eyes say it all… ahhhhhhh…. yes… relief, even if momentary.

 

Nana has been giving me Infant tylenol as the doctor as recommended, and it helps so much, but when it is getting close to time for a bit more the the grape gum relief goo…. YOU CAN TELL, I hate TEETHING…  (just sayin’, NO FUN)

I'm tellin' you it feels GOOD just let me bite on it .... oh... I am!

I don't notice anything... ?  What ...?

What?  !?!?! Does it say you can't use it for this?  Who says?

Have you noticed the pattern?  Hmmmm..... do you think I may be cutting some new teeth?

So I am sure you can see the similar factor in each AND EVERY photo the Beast tried to get today…and … well all I have to say is …. YOU TRY THIS!  I am thinking… even strong soldiers would have a hard time with this stuff!

Second thing I needed to speak to Daddy about… is WHAT’S UP WITH TELLING NANA THOSE ‘CHARGERS’ WERE GONNA BEAT GRANDMONSTERS STEELERS?   Hmmmmm?   Nana took your advice, and well let’s just say… that “chargers” thingy didn’t exacly pan out the way you said it would… but it’s okay… she’s just going to make you take all the campers to dinner for your ERROR in judgement. Anyone for Sonic?   From now on Daddy you better stick with the Steelers, or HOW BOUT THOSE LIONS…?

And the last thing I wanted to slide on in here tonight is about my day….I have to send a shout out to Great GREAT Aunt Ida, say Hey there… (and glad you are home), but really I do not want you having any more “great great aunt stuff “, just so I can EAT EGGS  at Great Grandma Sharyn’s house.   Yes, you heard me mom and dad, I went to hang with a little sister today… not mine OF COURSE, but Great Great Aunt Ida’s!    YOUR GRANDMA SHARYN… you see Aunt Ida had to go do some ‘Great Great Aunt’ Stuff, and Great Grandma Sharyn, well as you already know…she can get a worryin’ when someone she loves has “stuff” goin’ on…so I went to hang with her so she would not be so nervous, I thought I could distract her a bit….. chew up things, spit up a bit, maybe have a diaper or two to change, you know usual baby distraction stuff which is different than Great Great Aunt Stuff,  but instead…  SHE MADE ME A SCRAMBLED EGG!   I go to cheer her up, and she is cooking for me!   Crazy huh?   I stayed there and tried crawling a bit, till I was ‘tuckered’ out, (20 seconds or so) and then, I just rolled all over her floor… no dog or kitty hair … just fun fun fun, and when there is FUN AND FOOD, well you can count the “Guge” in… cause I am all about fun and food. 

You caught me without anything in my mouth.... ha... how did you do that?  

So as you can see the day was full, and I was busy, I even stopped by to say hi to Poppy, Great Papa, Uncle Dave, and Dr. Randy at the Royal Oak office and took Poppy your favorite chicken sandwich for his lunch…  I was  an object of distraction one moment, and a gnawing, drooling machine the next… but still as always,  I am your Little Miss Adorable,

Love you both very much... please know as soon as there is a way to take a photo of my top teeth that are coming in, the beast will get one!

WORKING ALL THE CRAWLING MUSCLES!

Nana says no playing on stairs, but if one of my aunts helps me, I at least ATTEMPT to crawl...

Hey there Mom and Dad,

I am not really allowed by the stairs… but Nana made an exception, since if I am put on the floor, I just roll on over, and don’t even bother workin’ those crawlin’ muscles….

So here I am, workin’ it… and workin’ it… and doing pretty darn good.

I had a fun day today.   All of us had such a busy week at camp that we just hung out at camp and waited to see how many football teams lost that Nana chose to win.   Seems Great Uncle Brian, had a good week, Nana, NOT SO GOOD.  

Here are some awesome photos of me for you to enjoy… I am so curious and I am exploring all the time.  I am TEN MONTHS OLD TODAY.  It is my ten month princess-versary and I am just loving being a big girl. 

Thinking about going outside to play...

Here is my princess-versary gift to you Mom and Dad, the first few pages were taken today, and then Nana tried to recap the past ten months with some photos that have not been seen before and a few that you have.    Enjoy, and know that I am always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
