stupid hat

I'm a horse this year for Halloween. I am not at all happy about this. Despite the fact that I'm probably the cutest horse that's ever lived, I hate my hat and I scream whenever mommy puts it on my head. These are from today when mommy got me dressed and put my hat on before we went trick-or-treating with Henry and An Na.





I did a little better with the hat once we were caught up in the candy-getting action. I even kept it on for a little while without much complaining. Mommy's gonna trim the bangs some for tomorrow and see if that makes it a little better. I pulled some suckers out of my feed bag all by myself. I started to eat them still wrapped until mommy caught on to my little plan.



P.S. We forgot to take pictures of Henry but trust us, he's the cutest little monkey on the planet. We made big plans to play and eat lots of candy together for future Halloweens.

hiking

When we hiked the yellow rock trail at Devil's Den, I had to stay in the baby carrier almost the whole time. Mommy said something about not trusting me not to jump off the cliff. I only got out for a few minutes and spent most of that time eating....errrr....examining rocks. I did have a nice time waving at whoever wasn't carrying me at the time and saying Hi a lot. It's my favorite word. I also pointed out the trees and birds but the grown-ups don't understand my language enough yet to understand the finer points of my talk.

Fun with my grandparents

When Grammy and Grandad came to visit, it took me a couple of hours to warm up but then the fun was ON! Grandad is my most favorite book reader. I even took books away from Daddy so that Grandad would read to me. (Daddy didn't complain...I'm starting to rival Livi in the book loving department) Grammy is a really great jumping mat and she lets me touch the videos when I watch them on her camera.

peppers

Whenever Mommy opens the refridgerator, I run over and grab whatever I can as fast as I can. Sometimes I grab grapes. Sometimes I grab a pear or a peach but most frequently, I grab a bell pepper and then eat it all up. I love those things. I bet not many babies can say that.

smurf eater

Mommy thinks it looks like I ate a smurf in this picture but it was really just a blue marker and I liked it a lot! I would do it again.

chasing the ball

Happy Birthday to me

The real purpose of a slide....

Bouncy blow up thingy

sliding crash

This is when Olivia ran into me and knocked me over on the slide. I think it's funny.

Outside

We played outside for a long time today. The big ball is super fun to throw but it's hard to pick up without falling over.
AND....YAAAAYYY! We're finally caught up again.

coloring

This is my first attempt attempt at coloring. I thought it was pretty neat. My second attempt at coloring was, hmmm, maybe 2 hours later. Same crayon....pantry door instead of paper. Also, crayons are pretty fun to eat but they get stuck in your teeth.

Pear throwing

Mommy and I made up a new game. You pick up a pear, run to the fence, throw it over and then laugh like crazy when it hits the ground. Then you repeat 40 times.

Lips!

mmmmmmm. Candy. I'm pretty handsome, eh?

Bubba the red-nosed pork chop

I thought this was super funny. So did mommy

ooohhhhh

Daddy's work had a banquet and I was not being quiet so I got to go play with the other kids in a playroom instead. It was WAAAY better!

Trains

At the botanical garden, they did something not very nice on train day. They made a really neat train that really moves around a track and makes noise and they wouldn't let me touch it. Not even a little tiny touch. My new favorite word is "WHOOOOOAAAAAHHH" and I said it a lot that day.

My big boy party!

I had a party with my friends because I am 1. It was a doggy party with cupcakes and puppy chow, hot dogs, and chips (okay, the chips don't fit all that well in the theme.)The good thing about a party for being 1 is that, you don't really have to do anything but be cute and eat cake. I am very good at both of those. Mommy and Daddy made bubbles fall from the ceiling and it was fantastical. I ate 2 whole cupcakes all by myself, several handfuls of puppy chow, a couple of cookies and exactly 1 bite of hot dog. Then I ran around like a maniac until 10:00 at night when mommy finally forced me to try to sleep.
P.S. Video coming soon

Ronald

yes, it's true that Ronald was there at McDonalds but I didn't really care about that. I really just wanted to steal fries, hog the toddler area, and run.

Runnnnnn

I have a hard time concentrating long enough at the park to do some menial little task like eating. I prefer to run as fast as I can and see everything all at once.

Bikes and Blues

Man, those motorcycles are loud and AWESOME!!!! I get really excited and bouncy when I see them.

My Birthday

On my birthday, Mommy took me and Livi to do things that I love. WE went to petco and looked at the animal. I liked the animals but I really loved it when I just got to run around. THen we went to Barnes and Noble to play with the trains. I spent lots of time running back and forth through the aisles. Then we went to the toy store and bought some stacking cups and a toy that I can whack with a hammer. Finally, ice cream. YUMMMM! Mommy let me hold the ice cream all by myself. I ran around with it and dropped it...picked it up and ate it again and again. It was a pretty good birthday.

peaches

I've been pulling things out of the fridge to eat whenever I get hungry. I at this whole peach and I regularly pull green peppers and eat them too.

Mommy's try at the photographing thing

yeah...we hope the real photographer got at least 1 good one. I was NOT a happy camper for our family pictures.

big boy

Excuse the junky nose. Mommy can't believe how old I look in this picture
