About Me
- by Ella K. Parker

It's been a very long time since I wrote to all of you. I think the last time was when I had to endure that horrible trip to the bank. Yikes! Mummy, Daddy, YaYa, and Baboo are in the kitchen finishing up supper. I think they're happy that I am "playing" quietly in the living room. Hah! They wouldn't like it if they knew I was on the computer! I'll have to drop some toys on the floor now and then to keep them from becoming suspicious. Since Mom says I'm too young to have a page on "MySpace" or "Facebook" I decided to get on the computer and make a blog entry about me instead. Because, frankly, I don't think I get enough airtime on this blog of theirs!

1) I like to sing. Here's a video of me singing "Twinkle Twinkle". (Notice how Mummy and Daddy cut me off - typical! No respect for the singing baby!)



2) I like to dance. Here's a video of me dancing with my doggie, aka UT Girl.



3) I like to color. Here's a photo of me coloring with Daddy. We're using the crayons and paper that Grammy and Grampy sent me. Thank you! (I really like presents and packages, too.)

4) I like to dress up (sometimes). Auntie Michelle and Uncle Jeff gave me this ensemble. I'm on my way to music class.

5) I like to go to the playground. Right now I'm really into the swing. This is at Children's Island.

6) I like to eat. I really like fruit. This is a BIG ORANGE that one of Dad's coworkers sent home for me. YUMMY!

7) I like animals. Here I am with a penguin at the zoo.

8) I like to figure out how things work. It's even more fun when friends can help me! Here, Linnea and I are trying to figure out how this swimming pool works. We've discovered that sometimes you have to break something to really understand it.

9) I REALLY like sticks. (Just look at the last two photos!) Every time I go outside I collect sticks...and rocks...and, if I'm having a banner day, FEATHERS!

10) I LOVE YaYa and Baboo. Here we are in the Wallenstein Gardens before they left for their trip to Spain. I'm so happy they're back! Sounds like Mom and Dad have to take me to Barcelona someday soon!
