Watch What You Say!

The other day we saw that Greta had found her dress and decided to try and put it on herself!
We helped her get it right-side-out and then she tried again!
All dressed up and ready to go to Granville Island for the afternoon. I decided to give Greta a new hair-do...as long as she doesn't remember she has a clip in her hair, she leaves it alone :-) But as soon as she discovers that clip, she yanks it out, examines it, and then tries to put it back in her hair!

At Granville Island.
We took a nice walk through a neighborhood on the edge of downtown. It was a beautiful day!
Sorry this is upside down...Matthew took this picture of Greta napping a few days ago. She goes to sleep for her naps all on her own now! We used to have to rock her to sleep for a nap, but just recently she has made it clear that she does not like to be rocked anymore (she squirms and fights us)...so now we just put her in her crib and that's that!
Our cute girl!
Greta likes to stand on her rocking chair...it's set up against the wall so it won't rock, and she's really cautious about it. If it does wobble just the slightest bit, she gets scared and reaches out to be let down! But she loves the thrill of standing on it!
Last weekend we went down to visit our moms for Mother's Day. Here's Greta in Nanny Kathy's room--wearing Nanny's headband too! Greta had a fun time checking out the many rooms of the house and watching the ceiling fans.
Playing with Nanny. They had tons of fun together! I wish they could play together more often!
Here she is at Nana Judy's house. Nana has lots of kid toys at her place, and here's Greta eating a pretend ice cream cone.
Out on Nana and Grandpa Hans' beautiful deck with Papa.
I put this picture on because it has Grandpa Hans in it too...
Matthew and I became an aunt and uncle just recently, and now Greta has her first cousins! Melissa's twins arrived last Thursday. Ida is in this photo (Poppy still needed help and was in the nursery...) They are so teeny tiny and so cute! We can already see the difference in how they look. Greta said "Aaaoooh" sweetly when she met Ida--that's the sound she makes whenever she holds her baby doll!
Going down the HUGE SLIDE at Group Health in Seattle. I especially loved it and went down it many times!!!
Greta really wanted to put Papa's shirt on the other day---so I helped her. She walked around with it on for quite some time.

Greta is showing that she really catches a lot of what we say. The other day Matthew said to her "Where's the piano?" and she went to the piano to play it! I tried out this game later and got her to show me her piano, pillows, books, maracas, crayons and then her tent!!! What a smart girl :-)

Here's a video of Greta stomping around on her rocking chair:
