More Peas PLEASE!

SOOO for days my Mommy and Daddy have been trying to get me to eat this bland stuff called rice cereal. Have you ever heard of it? If you have, then you know how bad it tastes! If you haven't, don't waste your time.

Dr. Sideridis had said that my parents should start me on rice cereal first and then go to the green vegetables. I'm so glad that my parents finally got the hint because I wasn't really feeling the rice cereal.

Last night while I was sleeping my Mommy made up a couple of batches of pureed peas, froze them and then thawed a serving for me today at lunch. Well let's just say folks.... I LOVE PEAS! Hip, hip hooray! Daddy was so happy for me that he took a couple of snapshots to mark the occasion. Enjoy :-).

Love,

Saturday's Trip to Annapolis,MD

It's been awful hot and humid in the Washington,D.C. metropolitan area these past few weeks! So when the thermometer went below 90 degrees with low humidity my parents packed my bag, grabbed me, set the GPS and headed for a quick day trip to Annapolis, MD.

We started our afternoon walking around the Main street area shops and the Annapolis pier (see Mom and I below). Our stomachs soon dictated our next move.... LUNCH :-). Dad had a crab sandwich, Mom had a chicken salad and I had my usual (milk). It soon started to warm up so we stopped for some ice cream at a local shop. The ice cream looked good and I'm hoping to get a shot at some once I'm old enough.

Towards the end of our day, we walked around the U.S. Naval Academy. Do you know who went there? Yeah, neither did Mommy and I until my Daddy gave us the low down. former President Jimmy Carter, former Presidential candidate Ross Perot, and current Presidential candidate Senator John McCain are among some of the more famous alumni.

It turns out that my Daddy is somewhat of a history buff. I can't wait to learn more! Below are a few snapshots of Daddy and I touring the grounds of the academy.

"MOM! I'm hungry!"



"Dad, let's get on with the tour, this part is boring"


"Dad, what the heck is this building"


"Mom, come on.... keep up with us"



"Geez, are we really going home?"
