Surprise!

Mommy thought she would blow your socks off and publish two posts in one night! Get up off the floor and read on...this one is good...
It's my birthday!!! (Aunt Shannon, do you like my shirt?)

Mommy and Gigi made me the coolest cake! Mommy is really impressed with herself and Gigi so she doesn't mind tooting her own horn...take a look... (by the way, it only looks like mommy is blowing my candle out...I did it all by myself, she is just showing me what to do).

If you can't tell...there was a theme to my party...TRUCKS!!!!

Mommy tried to get me to open my presents but me and my friend Koz were way into cutting the grass...I decided to let her open them all and then tell me which ones she liked best. I especially like my choo choo trains...they're classic.

Gigi and Papa got to take me to the zoo to feed the giraffes with Mr. Jody again. Mommy forgot to take pictures (maybe it was because the giraffe slobbered on her and it threw her game off) so she took this one of us while we were looking at the elephants.

Well stay tuned for more (but not tonight)...big boy bed (also not tonight), potty training, and animal noises...

Have a good week!

Summer is coming to an end...

...but I can't tell. It's still hot outside and only occasionally does mommy make me wear shoes. I'm doing really good now...my words are getting much clearer and I'm putting two words together. I know some of my colors and most of my shapes. I can point out letters in my Pirate alphabet book mommy bought me (this really surprised mommy and daddy...they weren't sure exactly what I was doing all day in my day care).

I've also started potty training as you can see in this picture (I'm multi-tasking...something mommy says boys can't do) but mommy says that's a story for another day...

We had dress up day at school where you could dress up like a princess or an animal. I was supposed to be a monkey but mommy said I looked more like a dog so she put a nose on me...She's not very crafty, but she did the best she knew how :)

These are pictures of me with my lawnmower. I love to cut grass with mommy and daddy (yes, mommy cuts the grass...but only when daddy is gone for a really long time). I sometimes have to turn over my lawnmower to fix it and sometimes I have to check the gas...if it gets too low, I have to fill it up. Having your very own lawnmower is a lot of responsibility. You shouldn't get one unless you have time to keep up with the maintenance.

Here are probably the last water pictures you'll see of the season...it looks like our hot days are coming to an end pretty soon. My friend Dylan is a lucky duck and has her own pool. That's where I am in this next picture. I had my swimmies on and mommy threw me off the diving board (I asked her to) and daddy caught me as I came out of the water. Yep, they let me go under...this is how they know I can hold my breath! I love doing this...then I get to swim to the side and climb up the ladder.

Here are some pictures of me and Dylan at the water fountains at the Botanical Gardens. It was Dylan's first time going so I had to show her how to run through it and get really wet. It didn't take her long...she's a natural.


Here we are sitting together on the Butterfly sculpture.

My first ear of corn...yumm.

Well, now that mommy's got her very own card reader (thanks daddy), she'll be able to get back to her schedule on updating this blog. So...we're keeping them kind of short this time to keep you coming back.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Summer time - Part 3 (finally)

Well, it's that time again...mommy got off her duff and put some pictures out here! This is long overdue...we have a backup on mommy's camera waiting to get posted.



A quick update on me...I'm doing really well. I'm talking a lot more and I just moved up to the 2 year old class in my school. I really like it and am enjoying all of the new activites we do every day.

I'm not going to waste much space with words today, after all my vocabulary is limited and it is the weekend. I hope you enjoy my pictures!

This is at my friends Dylan and Jett's house. They have a pool, too!

Watering mommy's plants...you've seen this before.

Washing my car and making sure it's got enough water in it.

Yes, mommy and daddy let me drink from the garden hose.

Me looking cute :)

Here are some of my "portrait" pictures that daddy took with his really good camera. I think mommy is going to print some of these and hang them on the wall.

I posed for this one...getting ready for my GQ career.

My birthday is next week and Papa and Gigi are coming to visit. I can't wait! I'm having a party on Saturday so there should be lots of pictures to show (and presents!).

Have a good week!
