First day of spring!

Hi everyone. I have lots to say today, so if you need to, go grab a cup of coffee!
It's the first day of spring and I'm hoping that means I can stay outside longer and more often! I love to play outdoors.

I LOVE the Wiggles!!! (Mommy wants me to make sure everyone knows that she only lets me watch TV for 1/2 an hour on Saturday and Sunday, even though I ask for it a lot more.) I don't know why, but I love those 4 goofy guys who sing about crazy stuff. Mommy took some pictures of me while I was watching them...I love Captain Feathersword...he's pretty cool.



I'm talking a lot now, although there still aren't many words most people can understand. Mommy and daddy seem to get it, though so that's all that really matters right now. For instance, mommy knows that I love my hat(s). Here's a picture of me when I begged to wear my hat while I was eating. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep your ears warm while you're having a little bowl of soup, is there?

One of my new favorite meals is sushi...that's right, sushi. I like the raw stuff but mommy and daddy says it cost too much for me to eat it (and something about tuna and mercury), so I eat mainly california rolls. Which, by the way, are very tasty! I love avacado. Daddy also bought me some roll with bar-b-que eel in it...boy was that good! Daddy tried to teach me to use chopsticks...I think I'm getting the hang of it!




For whatever reason, mommy wants to embarrass me and put a naked picture out here. We were practicing on the potty and I got bored so I ran to the door to go outside. Mommy said it was too cold and took a picture of me instead. I do have to say, that once you get to run around naked for a little while, it's super hard to put that diaper back on...the feeling of freedom is fantastic!

Hmmm...other things I'm doing.... I love balls. I love to kick them, throw them, bounce on them and most of all, I love it when daddy tries to knock me over with mommy's exercise ball (think bowling but using me as the pin)!

I'm running really good now and getting around like a regular little toddler. I can set the table, empty the dishwasher (as long as mommy tells me where to put things), and throw things in the trashcan! I still like to sweep and I'm getting pretty good at wiping the table after I finish eating. Oh yeah, and I can put my dirty clothes (or clean ones, whichever I choose) in the clothes basket!

I still love my Chili Dog. I especially like to throw her toy for her and walk her around the block on her leash. Sometimes she gets kind of snooty and thinks she's going to walk me, but as soon as I get up off the ground, I put her right back in her place...it's important to discipline right when the faulty action takes place, you know?

My teachers at day care say I'm really smart. I'm the fastest at putting puzzles together and I always help them clean up after play time.

Mommy and daddy are going on vacation to the Bahamas in a few weeks and Papa Mac is coming to spend the night with me. I'm not convinced that this is a good idea yet, but mommy keeps reassuring me that it will be great. We've even started looking at Papa's pictures and trying to practice saying "Papa" before he gets here. I hope I can pull it off!

Time for me to go (and for mommy to get back to work)... Mommy finally got the pictures she took from Christmas uploaded so she wanted to put those on here even though it's way past Christmas. I hope you enjoy them! I'm posing with my cousins Jamie and Luke.
