I'm Superman!

Hello again! It has been a while (again) since my Momma had time to make a new post. And to her shame, this is the only picture she has of me since the last blog!



Anyway, I thought you might all like to know that I have learned to jump. In addition to run run running around the apartment, and climbing on everything, now I hop and jump. Sometimes I try to jump and run at the same time. That makes me look drunk. My favorite thing to do right now is jumping on the couch. I hop a few times, and then plop down on my bottom. This makes me laugh and laugh. Well, on Monday, I threw a pillow on the ground, and then jumped full force, Superman-style, off the couch! I overshot the pillow by a good bodylength, and did a nice face plant... ouch... rugburn. I cried a little bit, and my Momma didn't know if she should laugh or comfort me. She decided to do both. Grrrrrrrr.
Aside from bouncing on the couch, I think it is very very fun to bounce on my Dad! He makes all sorts of funny noises when I try to jump on him.

Hmmmm. This morning I think I discovered that it is ME in the mirror. My Mom put my coat on, and I looked in the mirror, and while looking at the boy in the mirror, slowly and precisely touched my nose. Then I touched my eye, and opened my mouth and stuck out my touch. Then I put on my hat (crookedly) while watching myself in the mirror. Very intriguing. Before, I played peek-a-boo with the boy in the mirror, and giggled... but my Momma thinks I now might have discovered that it is ME!

Aside from that, there isn't much news. I add more words daily, I love eating cauliflower, and now I am asleep, so my Momma is going to go study.

Words words words!

Welcome, everyone! Please sit back and enjoy reading about my words!



So, because my Momma can't remember which words are old and which are new, she will make a complete list of all of my words, as of right now. I learned lots and lots of words while we were on vacation!

I also can show you where my nose, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, and my belly button is. I play peek-a-boo, I give kisses (wet ones), I wave hi and bye, and I can show you where to put a hat if you ask me. I clap, I shake my head, and I do a funny little tap dance before going up or down stairs. Oh yeah. And I hop on people's backs if they are sleeping or pretending to sleep, and bounce up and down, yelling "hi!"... my Dad taught me that, to wake up my Momma...

Back from vacation...

Hello everyone!
Boy, we sure had a wonderful week at the Nordsee, in St. Peter-Ording... we relaxed a whole lot, played and walked on the beach, flew our kites, ate yummy food (lots of sea food!), and played board games with Aunty Jasmin and Uncle Timon, who were also there. I made sure that my Dad and Momma didn't get TOO much rest though, and woke up at 7 every morning, or earlier... I think my favorite outing was our morning at the local zoo. They mostly had farm animals, but had a few seals, and some really cool snakes. I liked the donkeys and the goats best. Anyway. Here are some pictures:

This is me having breakfast at home, right before we left... no idea what my Momma meant when she mumbled "How in the world did we have a cheery morning child?!"

Alright. I am ready to go to the beach. Got my wind breaker and my gummy boots! Lets go! Hurry up!

Ahhhh, finally. Look at my Momma's cool yellow boots! She wore those every time we went to the beach.

Oh yeah! Look at my cool penguin backpack! My Great Aunt Beth gave it to me. I love digging for toys inside it, and I will tell you that it is "Mine!" if you try to take it!

Hahahahahhhh! Dad stuck a cheerio onto my forehead! Let's see if he notices the soggy crumbs I hid behind his ears when I hugged him.... practical joke is on you, Dad!

Look at this! This stick actually goes on our kite, but it is GREAT for poking things/people with, and for waving around! My Dad spent the afternoon at the beach with me... I loved it!

My Momma is helping me fly the kite! See? I am holding onto the hand-spool all by myself... Ooooooooh! It is soooooo far up there!

This is at the zoo. My Dad and I are watching the seals. The seals weren't that interesting, and I don't have a word for them.

Look! It's a hee-haw! It's a hee-haw, Dad! Look, Momma, it's a hee-haw! These hee-haws sure are interesting!

And here I am petting a neee-hee-hee! This one was small, but it sure left a bruise on my Momma's leg when it kicked her...

Weeee! I got to swing on the big-kid swings! I love swinging, and say "weeee!"... which should never be confused with my word for cars, which is "bweee! bweee!" (the noise cars make, according to me, is "bweee-bweee-ya!")

This is the light-house we hiked to together. Along the way, we saw lots of sheep! I made sure to point each one out with a loud "meh-eh"...

I sure loved having my Momma AND my Dad around all week!

That's all for today... my Momma needs to make some food! As you see, I have lots of new words, so the next post will be a list of my words!
