Leavin': Jetplane edition

After school/lab/daycare today, Mom/Dad/I headed to the airport for a plane ride to Chicago to meet up with aunt Cara and cousins Zoe and Alea. We're eventually headed to Grammy and Grampa's house to celebrate Grammy's and uncle Kyle's birthdays. At the nearly empty airport I had fun flirting with the baggage security guy ...

... and was adamant that Baby Belle was buckled into my carseat for our trip.

We cruised through security ...

... and after a trouble-free flight I marched off the plane to meet up with cousins and a late-night car ride to Michigan.

With crummy slush falling from the sky today, I decided to stay inside and press more buttons on my new toy.

Bumpin' up and down

Thanks to the time change I slept past 7:30 am this morning for the first time in many months! I continued my day of changing routines by eating lunch in the living room instead of in my highchair ...

... which allowed me to stack and eat stir fried chicken at the same time.
Unable to find a partner to accompany us to the zoo, Mom and I headed there on our own ... only to run into my friend Weston and his family by the grizzly bear!
Like always, the moms wanted Weston and I to hold hands ... but I preferred to hold Weston's mom's hand as we checked out the outdoor exhibits.
This evening we took advantage of the added daylight and mid-30s by Flyer'n it up and down our bumpy neighborhood sidewalks for the very first time. What fun!

A: Who knows?

If it's Saturday and I didn't sleep much after 1 am ... it's still BOB'n on over for mochas and donut holes!

Despite Mom and Dad's best efforts, I refused to nap all day until 15 minutes before our dinner guests arrived ... but soon after waking, I was busy helping myself to chip after chip after chip of guac dip.
After a yummy dinner with friends, I discovered friends' things that had been in plain sight all night ... shoes. I promptly hooked up with Michele and traipsed around the house showing off Emily O's ...
... and Alisa W's shoes ...
... and Amy J.T-T's heel'd boots.
All of which (considering my lack of rest but smiley demeanor) led many to ask:
Q1: Where does Lyllie get all this energy from?
Q2: How much moola is going to be spent to outfit Lyllie's feet in the future?

Noggin: still big

The thermometer reached the mid-30s today so we all celebrated by BOB'n around the neighborhood.

I also had my 15 mo checkup and shots this afternoon ... my doc said I'm still taller than most and heavier than many ... and more active than just about all.
