Time Out

2008-09-15T05:19:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, this is how I have been spending a lot of my time playing outside.
Mommy says I need to listen the first time. Doesn't she understand that is hard
for a three year old to do??

Playing Outside--August 7, 2008

2008-09-14T10:30:00.000-07:00

I like to get out the lawn chairs when we play outside.

More Sunflowers--August 2008

2008-09-14T10:13:00.000-07:00

2008-09-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

This picture shows a little of the swelling.

Surprise for Mommy

2008-08-31T15:47:00.000-07:00

I made Mommy a surprise!
A heart made out of trains!

Sir Handel and ALL of Thomas's railway friends!

I was standing in my bed and I broke Mommy's heart!

But then I fixed it! ;)

Sturgis Falls Parade 2008

2008-08-31T15:28:00.000-07:00

I had fun watching the Sturgis Falls Parade with Alicia! :)

That's the band!

They're the marching band!

This is my flag I got at the parade!

The Smurf-Mobile!
Mommy really took a picture of this more for Daddy than me.

The waves and sand bags at the parade,
thanking the Cedar Falls citizens for all their hard work to save downtown!

Cedar Falls Municipal band.

McDonalds--June 26, 2008

2008-08-31T08:35:00.000-07:00

I really liked eating at this McDonald's because I could sit by Ronald!

I gave him a hug. I requested that Mommy get the camera from the van and take a picture of me with Ronald McDonald.

Me at the Library! June 26, 2008

2008-08-31T08:27:00.000-07:00

This is me, putting a Mickey puzzle together at the library.

I really enjoy putting puzzles together.

"Oh, Look! Dan Wardell!!"

Dan Wardell is from IPTV and he came to the Cedar Falls Public Library to do a story time!

We learned about eating healthy, keeping healthy bodies through exercise, and keeping our minds healthy by reading.

June 25, 2008

2008-08-31T08:21:00.000-07:00

Growing Sunflowers July 22, 2008

2008-08-07T05:03:00.000-07:00

Standing next to my sunflowers.
They sure are getting tall!

"Look Mommy!"
Here is the bud that will soon be a flower.

Wow, this one doesn't even have a bud on it yet! I wonder how tall it will grow!

"See my sunflowers that I grew from a tiny seed????"

Fun in the Water July 11, 2008

2008-08-03T21:20:00.000-07:00

This sprinkler was really fun!

I enjoyed playing in the mud puddle!
The best part was that this time,
I didn't get in trouble for playing in the puddle!!!

Fun Times at Church July 12, 2008

2008-08-03T09:52:00.000-07:00

I was fixing my train and playing with my friend Noah.

I was chugging my train on the track.

I really love the train table at church.

I was un-coupling my train.

I was helping put the puzzle together.

Noah and I were playing on the playground at church.

Noah and I were climbing up the ladder.

We each got squirt bottles so we could make it "rain" and make a storm, like the storm that Peter was in when Jesus helped him to walk on water.

Freeze Pops! July 14, 2008

2008-08-02T08:54:00.000-07:00

Ethan and I enjoyed freeze pops on a warm summer afternoon.

We were being elephants! :)

My First Movie July 12, 2008

2008-08-01T22:31:00.000-07:00

Sitting in the movie theater seat.
I watched Wall-E for my first movie.

The movie theater seats were difficult to sit in because they
weren't really designed for a three year old.

Date With Mommy and Daddy Part 2 July 12, 2008

2008-07-30T10:11:00.000-07:00

Getting ready to watch fireworks on July 4.

My first ever sparkler. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it!

Small group barbecue June--2008

2008-07-30T09:33:00.000-07:00

Daddy let me take off my clothes. I thought I could take off my underwear too!
I gave the whole small group a show!!

Wahoo! I loved this slide! :)

I had fun playing with Jack.

Dogpile on Jack!
Joshua and I thought this was pretty fun!
Jack didn't share our sentiments!

Pool Fun June--2008

2008-07-30T09:25:00.000-07:00

My pants were so heavy!

More Gordon Reunion June--2008

2008-07-30T08:45:00.000-07:00

I was counting for Hide N Seek.

MMM! Juice!

Being silly while trying to take pictures with Grandpa Tim.

I convinced Katie to play with me! :)

Gordon Reunion June--2008

2008-07-26T16:08:00.000-07:00

I was excited to stop by and see Grandpa Tim! :)

I had fun playing with Kendra and Dani.

I was running with Aunt Katie.
Katie was running too fast for Mommy! That's why her head is missing!

"And we ALL fall DOWN!"
Ring around the rosy.

I sure love my Aunt Katie! :)

This was fun!

What an exhausting weekend!

Swinging With Grandma June--2008

2008-07-26T09:44:00.000-07:00

Swinging with Grandma Sonya.

Grandma was pushing me.

I enjoyed swinging!

I also had fun playing in the rocks with my feet!

Playing With a Gate June--2008

2008-07-25T10:08:00.000-07:00

Ethan came over and stared playing with this gate.
I couldn't be left out so I did too!

I had fun seeing how far out of the gate I could get.

Waiting for my Fish to Grow! June 2008

2008-07-25T09:52:00.000-07:00

I'm still waiting for my fish to grow!

The Big One! Fathers' Day 2008

2008-07-25T09:43:00.000-07:00

I was helping Grandpa reel it in. I wonder if I caught something...

Wow! I caught one! I caught one! I caught one!

Look at my fish that I caught!

We threw it back in so it could grow up to get big.
I was very sad that I didn't get to throw it back.
I did get to touch it and that was cool (much to Mommy's dismay).

Fishing Fun 2

2008-07-25T09:29:00.000-07:00

I was helping Grandpa tighten the line.

I was looking for fish. I had a red plastic fish that I threw into the lake.
I thought I would get it back but I didn't. It was just GONE!

Fishing Fun, Fathers' Day 2008

2008-07-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

This is the fishing pole that I won from our church Family Fishing Day.

Too cute!

I was so excited!

I was very interested in the tackle box!

Another Try at Pictures Together....June--2008

2008-07-25T09:15:00.000-07:00

Every single time I make a happy smile, I always tend to raise my arm! :)

I was trying to make Ethan cooperate.
It's a tough job but someone's got to do it!

"Seriously Mommy! Haven't you taken ENOUGH pictures YET???"

I love my brother! :)

Gma & Pa Currier's June 2008

2008-07-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

I really liked it when Grandma turned me upside down.

I was riding on Grandpa's leg. Good thing this was his good leg.

We were tired after a full-morning of playing.

Playing with Gma and Pa Currier June--2008

2008-07-24T13:36:00.000-07:00

Grandma Currier was tickling me.

And playing "this little piggy".

Then when Grandma had enough, I had Grandpa play "this little piggy" with me.

Playing with Grandpa Currier

2008-07-24T12:35:00.000-07:00

I was playing "memory" with Grandpa Currier.

Grandpa thought it was funny because I kept turning over as many cards as I wanted to instead of going by the rules and only turning over 2 cards each turn.

Grandpa was taking a "nap" after lunch, but I made sure he didn't get much sleep. Every time he would close his eyes, I would go over and get his nose! :)

I had fun playing with Grandpa Currier. We also played hide-n-seek, but he was cheating at that. Instead of covering his eyes, he would watch me hide! I caught him though! Sometimes I am too smart for my own good! :)

The Snack That Smiles Back! June--2008

2008-07-21T08:01:00.000-07:00

"Cheesy!"

I wanted all the goldfish in my bowl, so I took Ethan's!
Obviously Ethan wasn't very happy about this.

I gave some back to him. I can share when I want to.

Booger King June--2008

2008-07-20T12:17:00.000-07:00

I wanted this Burger King crown and then I didn't want to wear it.
That is why I have a pouty face!

When I decided to wear it later I made lasting impressions.
I'm pretty sure this photo will show up when I really would rather it wouldn't! :)

Maytag Park Again June--2008

2008-07-19T21:36:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed sitting on this bench.

When I crawled through this tunnel I slipped and bumped my lip! :S It was very painful.

I always put my arms in the air when Mommy takes my picture!

More Maytag Park June---2008

2008-07-18T13:02:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed playing around this odd shaped structure.

Mommy used to crawl under this very piece of equipment when she was a little girl!

"I see you Mommy!"

"Spider Web" June--2008

2008-07-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

I had lots of fun running around in this "spider web"!

"Look Mommy, I'm in a spider web!"

Maytag Park June--2008

2008-07-17T09:47:00.000-07:00

I really liked crawling through this tunnel.

This slide was a really big, bumpy slide.

I really wanted to play on the teeter-totter.
Unfortunately, Ethan was scared of it.

Watching TV with Grandpa Jim--June 2008

2008-07-16T07:01:00.000-07:00

I didn't want Mommy to take my picture.

I'm letting her take my picture now, but I don't look so happy about it!

There, that's better! That is more like me! I was having fun watching TV with Grandpa.

Riding My Trike--June 2008

2008-07-15T22:08:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa's bushes really intrigue me!

I disappear in bright sunlight too!

More Bubbles--June 2008

2008-07-15T12:27:00.000-07:00

Trying to catch the bubbles.

They kept going up too high!

Here's the BIG ONE!

We got it! :)

Bubbles--June 2008

2008-07-15T07:51:00.000-07:00

I was having so much fun doing bubbles!

I was really good at making the big bubbles after Mommy showed me how! :)

My First Fishing Experience--June 2008

2008-07-09T07:08:00.000-07:00

Our church has an outdoors ministry. For one event they combined with the children's ministry and made a family fishing day. We were able to go fishing at Prairie Lake and they provided fishing poles, bait, and you didn't need a fishing license to participate! It was a very nice FREE event! They also grilled hotdogs and had goldfish and teddy grahams and other kid friendly foods! :-)

We were getting the bait from the bait guy.
:)

I helped Daddy cast the line.

This is so much fun!

I'm reeling it in!

At the end of the fishing time, they had a prize giveaway for all of the kids there. Ethan and I both won fishing poles! I was so excited! I couldn't wait to go fishing with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sonya!

More Kids Kingdom--June 2008

2008-07-08T07:26:00.000-07:00

I really like trying to climb slides!

Grandma Mary wanted to take a picture of us together with her phone.

Kids Kingdom in Waverly--June 2008

2008-07-07T14:21:00.000-07:00

Mommy had a more difficult time capturing me for pictures!
It is much easier to keep up with Ethan than it is me!

I also enjoyed the bridge that Ethan liked...my favorite is the tornado slide though.

Whenever we take "formal" pictures like this,
it seems that I am always doing something silly with my hands!

That's better!

There go those hands again!

This picture is a little better.

Pizza Ranch Fun--June 2008

2008-07-05T08:48:00.000-07:00

Silly boy, making silly faces!

At my favorite restaurant, The Pizza Ranch, in Waverly.

Playing the hand slap game with Ethan and Grandma Mary.

May 2008

2008-07-04T06:36:00.000-07:00

Ethan and I are pretty handsome, it's true!

Ethan follows everything I do, which isn't always a good thing!

Whenever Mommy takes my picture, I get excited and I always raise my arms!

Cheesy!

Handsome Little Man.

In one of my books it talks about the Mommy and the little boy
take pictures together. I wanted to take pictures with Mommy. We had so much fun!

This one is a little blurry, but Mommy likes it.

Mommy thinks I look a tad bit mischievous in this picture!

I really enjoyed this baby bathtub that Mommy got out to put in the shed.
Too bad I didn't like it so much when I actually took baths in this!

I used it as a lounge chair to watch tv in.

I'm holding my sunflower that I grew from a seed.

Maybe if I squeeze the cup it will grow faster!

Here is one pan of sunflowers.

A close up of my sunflower starting to grow.

Watering my strawberries. Yep, that's right, they're mine! Not Mommy's!
This was before the flooding, so they did actually need watering at this point.

I am a great little gardener!

Everyone was taking pictures of Katie, and I wanted to join in on the fun!

I had fun playing with Aunt Katie at her graduation party.

I had fun playing on Grandpa Tim's drums.

I was looking at Aunt Katie's pretty ring that we got her for graduation and her birthday.

I was tuckered out from a very long graduation weekend!

Dry Mornings!

2008-05-20T05:48:00.000-07:00

I woke up dry this morning and I even drank a lot at supper last night and I slept for quite a while...at least 10 hours! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me! I had a dry diaper the other morning too, but Mommy can't remember which day it was!

April 2008

2008-05-18T18:48:00.000-07:00

I was serious about digging!

I had fun digging in the rocks.

I really like slides!

Oh, it's so hard to be three!

"Poor me! I have nothing to do!"

Ethan and I were helping Mommy do laundry.
We were sitting on the dryer and she was folding all the clothes! :-)

"Whee!"

I think it is really fun hauling stuff in my dump truck! Especially Ethan!

Look at me Mommy!
(Another day I was sitting like this and I got too much of my weight
forward and I flipped over the top, cutting up my face. That was not fun!
I haven't done it since then though so Mommy is hoping that I learned not to
sit that way in my dump truck.)

Quotes by Noah

2008-05-18T18:36:00.001-07:00

Noah: "My penis is too big to fit in diapers."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noah: "Daddy, you know better! You be nice to Mommy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What did you say to Daddy? Tell him again!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I put myself in timeout after I threw a trowel at Mommy when we were outside. I waited and sat there until she came in to get me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mommy and Daddy are proud of me because I have gone over a week with going potty all the time by myself. I even have Lightning McQueen, Thomas, and Mickey underwear! :-)

March 2008

2008-03-26T11:37:00.001-07:00

Mommy was trying to take pictures of Ethan and me. I was tickling Ethan and he kept squirming out of the picture. I thought that was VERY FUNNY!

Mommy, I don't have a THING to play with. That's why I have to just turn the light on and off!

"Go Hawkeyes! Wahoo!"

Spinning eggs in the egg spinner. Mommy thought this was a much
better idea than the cups of dye that can be knocked over!

"Look what I did Mommy!"

This was nice for holding the eggs. Next year Mommy thinks it will be better just to use markers rather than these q-tip things we were using.

Our finished handi-work! Aren't they beautiful?!

Before the Good Friday service at church. Mommy said we were handsome.

February 2008

2008-03-24T18:04:00.000-07:00

I was being kind of crazy!
I was so glad that my friend, Joshua came to my birthday party!

Riding on the merry-go-round! "Whee"
"Wow! A Cars cake!"

Playing ski-ball.

Grandma Mary got me an airplane that makes noises like a
real airplane does when it takes off! It is really cool!

Grandma Mary got me a Thomas cake!

I had fun playing with my new flashlights!

You can't see it, but Grandma Mary is holding my wrapped present.
I am so excited and I can't wait for her to give it to me!

Pumpkin Pie!!

2008-01-08T17:54:00.001-08:00

Grandma sat the pie right next to me. I looked at Mommy to see if she was watching me.

"Maybe if I don't look at it while I touch it I won't get in trouble!"

"This is too fun! I just have to look at it!"

I'm feigning innocent.

"Hmm...this pumpkin pie looks delicious!

Playing with Uncle Lewis

2007-12-28T16:43:00.001-08:00

We were figuring out the big daddy Lightning McQueen.

Do this Uncle Lewie!

I made Uncle Lewie do what I was doing!

Uncle Lewie thinks I'm silly!

Christmas at Gpa Jim and Gma Sonya's

2007-12-28T11:40:00.001-08:00

Grandpa read us the Christmas story.

Next I looked in my stocking.

"Wow! A big, big, daddy dump truck!"

"Hmm, this is in Thomas paper, I think it is a Thomas!"

My trains!

2007-12-25T17:27:00.000-08:00

"Let's see...how do I put this together?"

I pushed Gordon and his coal tender and Annie and Clarabelle up Gordon's hill.

I had so much fun playing with my trains this morning!

Christmas Morning

2007-12-25T15:07:00.002-08:00

I got a train table from Santa!

And Gordon, Annie and Clarabel, troublesome trucks, and Spencer, Thomas, and Percy.

She doesn't mind though! :)

My Friend, Hayley

2007-12-25T12:38:00.001-08:00

This is my friend Hayley. I met her at a Christmas celebration we went to.

We had fun running around.

We were waiting for Santa.

I was surprised when Santa gave me a present!!

Feeling Better

2007-12-13T22:05:00.000-08:00

I have been sick this week. Today I am feeling better. The first thing I said to Mommy when she got up this morning was "Catch me, Mommy!" and I ran to my bedroom. (Daddy got up with me this morning so Mommy could sleep. Since I've been sick she hasn't been able to sleep much.) But this morning I was running around like my usual self. :-)

I want some Pedialyte!

Mommy bought this juice for me to feel better and I drank some today and I really like it!

I took all the couch cushions off.

Ethan and I were having fun playing.

I took the lid off of the marker for Ethan.

After Mommy had me put the lid back on, I decided Ethan didn't need to have the marker.

More Trunk or Treat pictures

2007-12-10T18:08:00.001-08:00

There was a little "train" set up at one of the churches
we went to for Trunk or Treat. I really liked it!

I really love the wagon!

I'm not overly thrilled about Mommy's idea to have us get our pictures taken by the tree.

Ethan and I had fun putting our hands on each
other's hand through the window. It was very fun!

Trunk or Treat

2007-12-08T19:13:00.001-08:00

I was a "diamonsaur" for Halloween.

"See my 'tandies'?"

There was a truck at trunk-or-treat that had a mini-golf hole set up.
I thought that was really fun!

Riding in my Wagon

2007-12-08T18:47:00.001-08:00

Especially when we get to eat snacks as we go for a ride!

These are pyramid blocks that I get to play with at the library.

Its Tough Being Two

2007-09-06T19:45:00.001-07:00

Mommy doesn't remember why I was crying.
She thinks I was throwing a fit.
(She's thinking that would be the only time she
would have the camera out and be taking pictures.)

Mommy's Lipstick

2007-09-06T18:29:00.001-07:00

When we were coming home from somewhere
I found a tube of Mommy's lipstick.

"See, Mommy?"

I thought it was really fun.
For some reason, Mommy didn't!

More Time at the Playground!

2007-08-04T09:17:00.002-07:00

I am sitting on a little bench at the play ground.I'm driving!I was encouraging Ethan to crawl up where I was.

Laundry

2007-07-30T16:19:00.001-07:00

I am by the flamingos at the Blank Park Zoo.

I was standing up here to look at cockatoos.

Here is a black swan.

I really liked this goat. It licked my hand and besides riding the train, that was the highlight of my zoo experience.

I got up close and personal with a hippopotamus.

I was looking at the lions. (Well, kind of.)

This bench was inside the big cats area.

There were sea lions in here but they swam out of the picture before Mommy snapped it!

Sitting by the prairie dogs at the zoo.

I liked this big tortoise!

I liked getting to see the giraffes! That was so much fun.
All in all I had a great day at the zoo!
It was so interesting and there were so many new animals to see. :-)

Car Seat

2007-07-28T09:50:00.001-07:00

I was having fun sitting in Ethan's car seat.
(Although, technically it was my car seat first!)

Sweet Corn

2007-07-28T09:39:00.001-07:00

I really liked eating my corn on the cob with "pogo sticks". (The corn holders.)

"Mmm, mmm, Good!"

Riding the Train

2007-07-25T10:28:00.001-07:00

We are waiting in line at Blank Park Zoo for the choo-choo train.
I had fun hanging from the bars.

"Hi Mommy!"

"Oh wow!" Here comes the train.

I was in amazement on the train! It was so cool!

Riding on the train.

Magic Beans

2007-07-23T20:58:00.001-07:00

I was holding up some "magic beans" for Mommy to see.

See Mommy? On Mickey Mouse Clubhouse there is an episode of Donald and the Beanstalk. It is like the Jack and the Beanstalk story. I think it is really cool, and when I saw these un-popped popcorn kernels I knew Mommy found me some magic beans! :-)

Feeding Ethan

2007-07-18T13:28:00.001-07:00

Mommy was doing the dishes while Ethan and I were eating lunch. Mommy turned around and she saw me feeding my pink applesauce to Ethan with my spoon. Mommy gave me Ethan's spoon and then Ethan was much happier. Ethan liked the pink applesauce and I was done with it, so I thought it would be a great idea to give it to Ethan.

I'm a very helpful big brother!

Ethan was enjoying the applesauce.

I'm scraping the extra applesauce off of Ethan's chin.

Noah-isms

2007-07-17T21:09:00.000-07:00

When Mommy and I were eating ice cream Sunday night, I dropped ice cream on the table. Mommy asked me if I was making a mess and I replied, "No, not really."

Yesterday Mommy asked me if I was tired. I was acting really grumpy and Mommy thought that meant I was tired. I told her, "I don't know, I'm not sure, honey." Mommy told me she was sure and shortly thereafter I was taking a nap. This is one of my favorite phrases right now.

I've also been saying, "You betcha" and "sure thing" when Mommy asks me something and I answer affirmatively.

Mommy and Daddy wonder how they ended up with such a cute little boy like me. I wonder why they always smile and laugh at the things I say when I am being serious!
:-)

"Chicago Diaper Change"

2007-07-17T21:07:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been asking Mommy for a "Chicago Diaper Change". Mommy had no idea what I meant when I asked for this. I finally had to show her. It is a particular way that I want my changing pad when Mommy changes me. Mommy has no idea where I came up with the term, "Chicago Diaper Change" though.

Necklace

2007-07-17T16:22:00.001-07:00

I liked wearing this magnetic necklace.

Macey made the necklace for me. :-)

Noah and Jordan

2007-07-17T15:42:00.001-07:00

Noah had fun hanging out with Jordan. They made quite the pair!

He loved leading him around the house.

"Barfie"

2007-07-16T19:51:00.001-07:00

I was playing with "Barfie" and "Barfie cars" at my great aunt and uncle's house.

I was hauling magnetic marbles in the back of the "Barfie" car.

I really enjoyed crashing the cars. I also liked that my 2cd cousin, Abbey, was playing with me.

"Crash!"

I'm putting more marbles in the back of the "Barfie" car.

I don't think Daddy was overly impressed with me playing with "Barfies" but that is what happens when you go somewhere with four girls and one boy! I think it probably made Daddy feel better that I was using the "Barfie" cars to haul stuff and to crash! Mommy thought it was very funny when I asked her to get in the pink "Barfie" car. I didn't know what was so funny, but I laughed and kept asking her to sit in the "Barfie" car. :-)

Lava Lamp

2007-07-15T13:02:00.001-07:00

I love going in Daddy's old room at Grandpa and Grandma's house to watch the lava lamp. It is really cool!

Independence Day

2007-07-15T12:32:00.001-07:00

I thought it was pretty cool to play outside in the dark!

I am patiently waiting for the fireworks...whatever that is!

I decided to throw rocks...that will keep me busy...until Mommy tells me I can't do it because I might hit a car. Mommy always worries about that kind of stuff!!

Water Park

2007-07-02T13:13:00.001-07:00

We went to a water park in Ottumwa. In the kids pool they had a whole playground set, including this tire swing. I really enjoyed it...until I fell off! I forgot that I needed to hold on to the chains and my bottom was slippery! : )

I was very brave and went up the stairs for the slide.

I am standing at the top of the slide with Sheila.

I decided I didn't want to go down this time. (Of course, because Mommy had the camera out. As soon as she put it away I went down it!)

I had fun playing in the "blue water" with Mommy!

Potato

2007-06-28T21:21:00.000-07:00

Tonight Mommy dropped a potato on the floor. I picked it up and I was very concerned about the safety of the potato. I asked the potato, "What happened? Okay?" Then I told the potato, "I'm SO sorry! I'm SO sorry!" Just like Mommy does when she accidentally hurts me when I'm standing right behind her and she doesn't know that I'm there. Mommy and Daddy told me I'm a very caring little boy. All through supper I kept picking the potato up and giving it a kiss and telling it, "I'm SO sorry! Okay?" asking the potato if it was okay.

What?

2007-06-27T22:02:00.001-07:00

Mommy was taking pictures of Ethan in the chair,
so I climbed up there so she could take pictures of both of us.
That is what she usually does so I was just helping her out.
I was trying to figure out why Ethan kept looking at me instead of Mommy.
I was also wondering about his hair! : )

Exersaucer Puppy

2007-06-26T12:31:00.001-07:00

I'm taking good care of my puppy. I put him in Ethan's exersaucer.

I really love my puppy!

Playing at the Park

2007-06-26T12:08:00.001-07:00

I played with my friend at the park today.
We were running away from our Mommies instead of listening to them.

Now I'm following my friend up the steps.

Can't you tell how hot it is? My face, arms, and legs are so red!
(Not sunburned, my friend's mommy saved the day.
Mommy forgot my sunscreen right by the door when we left home!)
I was so hot but Mommy had a hard time convincing me that it was time to go.
I really like playing with my friend.

Park

2007-06-26T12:06:00.001-07:00

We went to the park today. It was very, very hot out!

Mickey Mouse

2007-06-26T12:01:00.001-07:00

I love to sit on the big people couch! I feel so grown up!

One of my favorite things to do when I get up from my nap is to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Notice my Mickey shirt! Some days that is the only thing that motivates me to get dressed!

New Toy

2007-06-26T12:00:00.001-07:00

Part of my new toy! I was having fun with this!
