Moose A Moose


Even though I dont watch a lot of TV because Mommy doesnt think its a good idea ( I tend to disagree!) when I do, my very best favorite is Moose A Moose and Zee on Noggin. Now, its not a TV show, they are the two little guys that come on in between all of the shows. They sing about the animals, flowers and bugs that are outside. They teach me how to say words in another language, how to count, and how to say my colors. Mommy and Daddy move me away from the TV back to the tables or toys that I can lean on so I can see better, but it is much more fun to look up at him. I cant explain it, really, it just is :)

Early Spring Swinging...


Mommy and Barbara took me to the park in early March, on one of the warmer days, and I went on the swings.Emmy and Auntie Courtney were there too. It is so much fun - the movement makes me even sleepy, I love the air and looking around at all the kids, the doggies and the trees. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can come to the park all the time. Gradnma Sharon even gave me my very own swing that I hope Daddy puts up in the backyard soon!!! Thanks Grandma.

Gotta Wear Shades



I want to be just like my daddy and have cool glasses. I always try to take his off but he's still a little faster than me. So Mommy got these sunglasses for me to wear, take a look. Funny thing is, she thinks I am going to keep these on........ HAHAHAHA.

Spring has Sprung!!

Its finally springtime!!! Goodbye snow jackets, hats and gloves; Hello swings, shorts and sunglasses--Yippee!! I love being able to go outside everyday. Barbara takes me for a long walk, and we see the dogs out for a walk also. We talk to the trees and flowers along the way. The squirrels and birds running around always give me a little chuckle. Of course, going to the park and swinging is the best part of the day.


Now that I'm 10 months old, I eat lots of delicious food like a big boy - grilled cheese sandwiches, yogurt, cottage cheese, hot dogs, ravioli, tons of fruit like grapes, watermelon and plums, but I gotta tell ya, I'm really not diggin those green veggies anymore. Mommy really tries to get me to eat them and I can sometimes tolerate peas now that I can pick them up by myself, but I when she's not looking I spit them out :) Shhhhhhh!! Mommy got this new book called "Deceptively Delicious" and she reads it all the time, so something tells me that she is learning a new way to get those green veggies into my mouth one way or another!!!

Easter 2008


Easter came early this year - We travelled to Rochester to see my family that lives far away in the middle of march. Man, that was a long car ride. Thank goodness Mommy and Daddy were smart enough to buy a video screen for the car so I can watch my cartoons for a little while. At least it was a little distraction!! We had fun seeing everyone up there and I even got dressed up for the occasion. Take a look at my jacket. We got to take home chocolate Easter bunnies too. YUMMY (someday I will eat those!) While I was up there I got to meet two new little friends- Zach and Lily Wake. They are mommy and daddy's friends children and I had so much fun playing with them. Zach and I are buddies- he taught me how to be a big boy like him (he's 4). Lily was funny too, she was shaking her booty and saying lots of fun things. Thanks for letting me play with all your toys while we were there. I had so much fun and cant wait to see you again.

My Gym




So now that I am a big boy (my 10 month birthday just passed, ya know), I thought I would share my pictures of all my friends at My Gym. Mommy and Daddy take me to this fun place where I can climb, swing, explore and meet new friends all the while I am toning my muscles :) I am really, really good at climbing the steps, balancing on the plank, playing with all the rubber balls (of course trying taste every one of them, too) and swinging from the highbars. Nothing scares me, and I cant wait till I am a little bigger and I can climb that rock wall. It looks soo tempting now, but mommy and daddy say I'm still too little. Someday soon, I'll prove them wrong.
When I go to My Gym I get to see my friend Jordana who also lives around the corner from me and my buddy Dylan. We play around all the time together.

The tunnel is the absolute best part. Once I get to one side all by myself, I turn around and go right through to the other side. Its the best!!! The teachers there bring out the swings and we get to fly around on dolphins and airplanes. At the end of the session, we get to play all by ourselves while the mommies and daddies can only sit back and watch. The teachers show us blocks, balls, and bubbles, they sing to us too. When I leave there, I am good and ready for naptime. Its hard work being a big boy! I hope mommy and daddy let me come to MyGym forever. Pretty soon, I'll be able to walk without holding on to something or someone and it will be like a whole new place for me to explore.

Rub a Dub Dub

Thought I would share some great photos of me in the Bathtub. The first one is when I was younger (HAHA) and I couldnt move around as well. Now that I am such a big boy I can sit all by myself. See?!?!? It is so much fun in the bath, I REALLY LIKE to splash around and crawl from end to end. I splash so much, I even get mommy all wet!! She loves when I do that. I especially love to play with my basketball hoop and also see how many of the letters and numbers floating around in the water I can put in my mouth. Whaddayathink of my cool bathrobe? It says my name on it so mommy and daddy wont try to wear it. I make a fuss when Mommy says its time to get out, but I just cant help myself. The water is so warm and I love to be in it. I even let Mommy wash my hair and wipe my face! (which ordinarily I just dont like, unless I am in the tub). Mommy makes a waterfall out of this big cup and I splish splash in it over and over. Since its the springtime now, and I will be outside playing more, Mommy said I have to take more frequent baths so I can stay clean and "wipe the outside off". Yeah for Springtime!!
