Summer Kick-Off

Summer is officially here! I had a fun-filled Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday, I helped daddy plant our garden (I dug up all the bean seeds he planted)! On Sunday, I spent the morning with Meg and Rob while Mommy and Daddy ran a half marathon. We went to the playground and then to a birthday party for my friends Mikey and Chandler, who turned 1. It was pretty hot on Sunday so when we arrived home after the party, I played under the sprinkler. So much fun . . .

I was a little hesitant at first, but soon I stepped right into the water!

The sprinkler is a lot of fun!!

I just could not get enough of it . . .

On Monday, we went to Franklin Park Zoo. I saw gorillas, lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, snakes, birds, ostriches and farm animals . . . to name a few. My favorites were the gorillas and Christopher the lion.

Christopher the lion was asleep when we first arrived at his den . . .

but soon he woke up and roared his terrible roar!!!

I think we disturbed his nap.

I have so many more summer activities planned. Keep checking-in so you can keep up with all of my activities. Talk to you again soon!!

Hotlanta!

We recently took a trip to Atlanta, Georgia to visit our very good friends Brooke and Paul. It was so great to see them! They hardly recognized me because I have grown soooo much since our last visit (I was only 10 months old). Here is a shot of our reunionWe are on top of Stone Mountain - you can see downtown Atlanta behind us. We saw everything Atlanta has to offer. We went to the aquarium (which is much bigger than the New England Aquarium). The jellyfish were a big hit.

I also loved the tank with the sharks, stingrays and turtles!


After visiting the aquarium, we walked around Olympic Centennial Park. It was hot (hence "Hotlanta") so I cooled off at the water fountain. At first, mommy didn't want to get wet . . .

But I really wanted to run through the water so in we went . . .

We got pretty wet!! After leaving the park we went to the CNN headquarters (Mommy's Mecca). I fit right in

I am camera-ready . . .

Look out Anderson Cooper . . .

Atlanta was so much fun!! I can't wait to go back for another visit.

Happy Spring!

I am really enjoying the spring weather. The first nice weekend came at Easter when I was in New York City. I spent the weekend with my Grandmom and Pop Pop Gallagher, aunts, uncles and cousins in the big city to celebrate Grandmom's birthday. Here are a few snapshots from the weekend . . .

The Easter Bunny came - he brought me a backpack - it has sharks on it!

We got dressed up and had our pictures taken in Central Park.

And, best of all, we ate brunch at a fancy hotel. I enjoyed my favorite . . . pancakes with maples syrup, of course!
