Big Day!

2009-08-22T19:00:00.002-06:00

I got to eat breakfast out at the Egg and I. I did not see the Egg.
Then I got to play with Kaitlyn and Max. I stole Max's spoon. He gave me a ball toy.

Went to the peach festival and for pizza. Festival was terrible!
They were all EATING peaches. Tragic. We liberated a medium bag of them for $9.

I saw a dog wearing sunglasses.

Ate a big supper, now off to bed.

Maybe.

Competitive Eating

2009-08-17T19:32:00.000-06:00

Teeth are a Health Hazard

2009-08-04T20:54:00.001-06:00

How can teeth I don't even have yet make me cry and not eat?????
What will it be like when I have them?????

A Warning from the Pineapple Princess

2009-08-03T08:57:00.002-06:00

I was recently informed about a rash of unauthorized Pineapple merchandise available for sale.
We believe this started at the Estes Park True Value with a line of infant swimsuits.
Please be aware that this is NOT official merchandise and will likely fall apart after a few uses.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

http://www.fruitundressed.com

Fraud!

2009-08-02T09:55:00.002-06:00

This Pineapple Queen is a fraud!

Important Lesson

2009-08-02T09:53:00.002-06:00

It is not a good idea to stick 3 puffs in your mouth and then try to crawl.
I threw up on Mommy's feet.

An Open Letter

2009-08-01T18:06:00.003-06:00

Big Day

2009-07-27T14:56:00.001-06:00

I went to the Children's Museum! I was expecting exhibits about children.
Instead it was a bunch of stuff to play with.
Then I went to a bar, ate a turkey sandwich and watched ESPN. It was so cool.

Weird Rituals

2009-07-26T18:06:00.000-06:00

Still eating, only now with a lot more teeth AND I feed myself when it's convenient.
Still crawling, only now I pull myself up all the time.
Still sleeping, only now I try to get out of my crib.
Still playing, only now I know the names of toys. (Bunny! Birds! Lamb! Clock! Book! 12345678910!)
Still going out, only now I crawl everywhere at story time and ride large animals.
Still working in the shop, only now I'm planning to hit the big time with cash for clunkers.
Still Princessin' the Pineapples, only now I'm taller than they are.

2009-07-26T17:42:00.001-06:00

Where have I been for the past month?????

Yo Peeps!

2009-06-28T21:18:00.000-06:00

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! No sleep for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures

2009-06-14T19:14:00.000-06:00

I heard that there are photos of me..um...topless with some measuring spoons.
Do not believe them! They were Photoshoped!
My legal team is trying to get them removed.

Super Big Weekend!

2009-06-14T16:46:00.000-06:00

Story time - the theme was a Picnic. I met a boy named Oliver
Then we went to see something called an Alpaca. Curious creatures. I also saw sheep.
Mommy made chicken and corn soup. I ate it, but I spit it at her.
Then we had strawberry smoothies. Yummy!!!!

On Sunday, we went to a big park with a buffet. I ate yogurt and some waffle. I like waffle.
I also ate grass.
I LOVE PIGGY BACK RIDES!

Summer Time!

2009-06-07T16:55:00.000-06:00

I went to the Butterfly Pavilion today. I saw lots of cool critters and pretty butterflies. A few even landed on me! I got to try out my new stroller. It's orange.

I'm Back!

2009-05-29T19:41:00.000-06:00

For some reason I can't blog when Mommy is gone. I think she knows the password.

It's been a weird week. I didn't see Mommy for two days and today I saw her the whole day.

We went to Chipotle (I ate a banana), the Post Office (I sat on the counter), and SuperTarget (I ate paper, lost Ursula and found Ursula).

Movin' and Groovin'

2009-05-24T14:22:00.000-06:00

Mommy and Daddy are rearranging everything, putting cool stuff up high and locking up the cabinets. Weird. I wonder if it has anything to do with me crawling forwards really fast.
I love to play with Mommy's laptop.

I have THREE teeth.

I went to Lowe's, the plant store and Chipotle today. Now I need a big nap.

I eat all the time. Mommy says I can have Lasagna for dinner. Cool.

Me and Mom

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

2009-05-10T09:20:00.000-06:00

My mom's cool. She left me at Grammie's so she could go out to see Joel McHale and Star Trek. It's not like I wanted to go or anything.

Oh wait, she reads this.
I love you mom!!!!!!!

Is There a Doctor In The House?

2009-05-03T15:51:00.000-06:00

I'm worried I might be a Vampire.

Strike!

2009-05-03T10:20:00.001-06:00

I'm on a nap strike.
I don't know what my demands are though.

Dear Pineapple Nation -
It's time for our annual spring fling. It will be Sadie Hawkins style this year, so all you Pineapple gals ask your favorite Pineapple to be your date.
Music will be provided by Bananarama.

Guess What I Can Do?

2009-05-02T13:08:00.000-06:00

I can shake my head 'No' at everything AND I can pee out of my crib.
Big day so far.

This Weekend in Zia

2009-04-26T15:05:00.000-06:00

I'm stuck in reverse.

Went to Fazoli's today. I had fun in my highchair.
Mommy bought me pants with skulls and bows on them.

Fo Shizzle

2009-04-18T19:24:00.000-06:00

I got to play with Cheerios today. I don't think any made it in my mouth though. They are so tiny!

I fed Mommy peaches. It was funny. I like to share.

EXPOSED!

2009-04-18T19:23:00.001-06:00

This isn't good.

Let's Hear It For the Boys

Not cool.

Happy Easter!!!!

2009-04-12T10:02:00.000-06:00

Lots of things to report.

I went to the park and I love the swings. It was the coolest park ever. There was ballroom dancing, a rock climbing wall and fresh air.

I say 'Da-Da'. I say it all the time. Daddy seems to like that.

The Easter Bunny came today!
I got the book 'Pat the Bunny', a pink elephant with hair and an Easter egg rattle.

I'm hoping to get some cheesecake for dinner.

April Fools!

2009-04-01T18:04:00.000-06:00

I told the Pineapples that we were being taken over by the Chiquita bananas to form the 'Pine-nanas' (or possibly the 'Ban-apples') and they would have to start growing in bunches and wearing jackets.

7 Pineapples were hospitalized for fainting.

I didn't realize that the Pineapples weren't familiar with April Fools Day.

Hello

2009-04-01T18:00:00.000-06:00

The snow is good for business, so I have been busy at the shop.

Today I went for pictures with Mommy and Grammie. I did not smile very much. The photographer kept singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, which I liked, but thought was kind of weird since it's April.

We met Daddy for lunch at Chipotle. I had bananas.
It has been a good day.

Saturday

2009-03-28T20:52:00.000-06:00

Went to story time at the library. It was Peek a Boo day!
Burped really loud in the middle.
Checked out a book and a CD.
Went to TV to see Grammie and PaPa.
Naped.
Went to Lowes and Chipotle for a giant burrito. Ate sweet potatoes and chicken instead.
Played.
Bed Time.
(I think mommy is watching Grey's Anatomy without me again.)

Blizzard!

2009-03-26T14:51:00.000-06:00

I am snowed in with my Mommy, Grammie, and Daddy.
I ate a snowball.
We are having homemade pizza and cupcakes.
Fun!

Happy Birthday Shout Out

2009-03-26T14:50:00.001-06:00

Happy Birthday Great Aunt Melody!!
Grammie and I are calling you later today.

Shout Out!

2009-03-24T18:49:00.001-06:00

Shout Out to Aunt Maggi!
Woof Woof!

My Saturday in Longmont

2009-03-22T11:45:00.000-06:00

I went and had lunch at The Rib House. They make really tasty Apples & Apricots.
Then we went to the park! I played and got to ride on the swing with Daddy.
Then I went to Kohl's and took a nap and then to Target.
It was a busy fun day!

Story Time!

2009-03-22T11:41:00.000-06:00

Grammie took me to story time at the Estes Park library on Friday.
It was Pizza Day!
There was a pizza book and a pizza cartoon and real pizza.
I had lots of fun.

Then Grammie went to lunch (pizza) and bought me a new book.

Mommy is appalled that they had videos at the library.
She's taking me next week. I hope there's not an incident.

Pineapple Awakening

2009-03-22T11:25:00.000-06:00

I am happy to report that ALL the Pineapples awoke safe and sound during the Great Pineapple Wake Up.

I want to thank Grammie for an inspired invocation and to Chuck Norris for leading the parade.
We had 115 visitors to the Greenhouse, a new record.

However, there was an 'incident' at the parade in which evil corporate conglomerates 'Dole' and 'Del Monte' arrived and tried to capture many different varieties of fruit. (It turns out that they had secretly had us certified organic.)

They were distributing disturbing propaganda, as seen here.

Chuck Norris led a group of badgers, beavers,and porcupines to take out the evil doers.

There is legal action pending.

Important Update

2009-03-22T11:21:00.000-06:00

Due to pending legal action against 'Dole' and 'Del Monte' for activities that occurred during the First Annual Celebration of Fruit parade, I have not be allowed to update the blog. The ban has been lifted and I can now break my silence.

Dinner

2009-03-13T05:09:00.001-06:00

I gotta stop eating those Lean Cuisine meals for dinner.
I always wake up at 4:30 am really hungry.

Peek a Boo!

2009-03-10T19:35:00.000-06:00

I can play Peek a Boo. It's fun.

2009-03-08T08:46:00.000-06:00

I don't even know where to begin!
I am sick right now. So are Mommy, Daddy, and Grammie.
I got sick in the car yesterday and got to go to a big fancy house to get cleaned up.
I feel better this morning.

Pineapples are good. Everything is going as scheduled for the big wake up this week.

Time flies when you're busy running your own business, preparing for the Pineapples awakening, and learning to eat solid food.
Man!
Just today, I went for a walk, did some grocery shopping and ate some Mac n' Cheese at Noodles.

Breakfast

2009-02-01T09:29:00.000-07:00

Oatmeal is very, very tasty.

Official Song of the Pineapples

2009-01-24T18:28:00.000-07:00

Pineapple Princess

"Pineapple Princess," he calls me, "Pineapple Princess," all day
As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay.
"Pineapple Princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen.
Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my Pineapple Queen."

I saw a boy on Oahu isle
Floatin' down the bay on a crocodile.
He waved at me and he swam ashore
And I knew he'd be mine forevermore.

"Pineapple Princess," he calls me, "Pineapple Princess," all day
As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay.
"Pineapple Princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen.
Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my Pineapple Queen."

He sings his song from banana trees
He even sings to me on his water skis.
We went skin-divin' and beneath the blue
He sang and played his ukulele, too.

"Pineapple Princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen.
Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my Pineapple Queen."

We'll settle down in a bamboo hut
And he will be my own little coconut.
Then we'll be beachcombin' royalty
On wicky-wicky wacky Waikiki.

"Pineapple Princess," he calls me, "Pineapple Princess," all day
As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay.
"Pineapple Princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen.
Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my Pineapple Queen."

I took a little bath.

I peed all over everything at Target today.

Food

I like to eat my food off my bib.
It's better than a spoon.

Blah

I do not feel good today. I need to take a nap.
Tylenol.. take me away.

Zia's Rap

Zia is my name and
laughing is my game
I laugh all the time
When my mama sings her rhymes.

Word.
