7 days after I turned 10 months old, a bunch of tornadoes came through our town and tried to eat me up! Mommy, Daddy, and I had to get in the closet and stay there for hours and hours!! When the tornadoes went away, we saw that they knocked down the tree that we were gonna hang a swing in.....I guess I need to find a new place to hang a swing now!
Mommy and Daddy went to go help people who lost everything - like these people.
They said I was too little to help, so I stayed at home and played. I had to play during the daytime though because it was very dark at night. We didn't have any power for 5 days. Mommy had to throw away all our food in the freezer and fridge, and we burned candles every night so that we could see.
The power came back on eventually, and then Daddy and I had to get ready for Mother's Day. We made mommy some special cards, and we surprised her by giving her some plants for the patio. She didn't expect it at all, and she was so excited! I love my mommy so much!!!!
I went on my first bike ride this month!!! I have to admit that it puts me in a trance every time I go. I just sit back, relax, and let the wind blow on my face. I get so relaxed that I forget to smile or move or anything! Mommy had to shake me a little bit to make sure that I was ok! Riding a bike is pretty much the most relaxing thing I've ever done, and if I stay out too long, I fall asleep - every single time! I think my helmet makes my head look like a watermelon.
Speaking of watermelon....the pool opened up, and we have been swimming this month! I am very serious when I swim because I need to make sure that I don't drown! I don't really smile too much, but mommy and daddy know that I like it because I don't cry either.
I've gotten to see lots of aunts and uncles as well as both sets of grandparents this month! It's always super fun to get all their attention! I just love all the fun stuff we do when family is in town!!!
