...lets draw!

Hello! Are you having a rough day? Well, let me brighten it by smiling a BIG HUGE smile at you!
It is hard to get "still" pictures of me these days, because I am usually running around at lightning speed.

I know you are there, Momma, sneaking up on me with that silly camera... I will NOT look at you, but I can't help smiling a knowing smile.

Here I am spending some quality time with my Dad playing a game on the Wii. Well, mostly, my Dad is trying to play while I keep clicking over to the main menu.














...so drawing ("daw!") is one of my favorite things to do. My Momma got me some really cool fat short pencils that I love scribbling with. I can identify the colors "yeyow" "bwow" "bwoo" "ohhje" and "pupoh" when asked what color the pencil is, and can show you any color if you ask e.g. "Where is the red pencil?" I will hold the correct one up. My Momma and Dad are pretty proud of this, up until a few days ago, I just labelled everything as "yeyow!" when asked what color it was.

Anyway, my Momma finished her final graduate course two weeks ago, and so, instead of reading school books, has spent my nap time water coloring. Here are the pictures she painted. They will be framed and hung up in my new room in America!

This one is titled: "Oh-oh! Bwee-ya!" ...which is what I said when I saw the picture. It is of me when I was in the clinic for my hernia operation in December. My Momma sketched me running around the hallways in my hospital nighty and fireman's hat, and now turned it into a small water color.

This one is the first in the set of sleeping boy watercolors my Momma painted. She had to paint this one twice, because I drew all over the first one with a red crayon when she left the table to answer the phone.

Doesn't this one look cozy? The tattle-tale baby bear reminds me of my friend's big sister.

I know that not every Mom would be very excited at the prospect of her baby boy cuddling with a bunch of possums... but I think that old oak looks like a very good place to sleep. You can't see the mole peeping out of the ground at the bottom of the picture. Come visit us in Vancouver to see the original!

... we've been buuuuuusyyyyy!

Hi there, my dear fans! We have registered several complaints about an accute lack of new pictures... so after travelling to Vienna for the weekend, my Momma took some time to upload a few! We do have a good excuse not to update my blog: My Momma had to finish her class, which by the way was her very last one! Now she just has to write a really long paper, which she will hand in at the beginning of March. My Dad has been busy working, and applying for various jobs in the Vancouver/Portland area. And he got to take care of me this weekend while my Momma was in Vienna! That was lots of fun!
You will be happy (or if you are in Europe, sad) to hear that we are moving back to the US in 52 days! My Momma and Dad have been looking at houses... it will be fun to have a yard!

Speaking of yards, here I am playing in the sand. I love going to the playground, although not many kids come there when the weather is crummy, so sometimes I have to play by myself. I can climb up to the slide and go down it all by myself, and I can dig some very good holes.


I like making towers and forts and houses with my blocks.

...and I really love wearing my Dad's big huge shoes!

...so as you see, I am doing well. I am learning lots of words, including adding the long-missing end-sylables to already learned words! I am getting EVEN better at climbing, and I can hop now! I feed myself my own breakfast cereal now, which was the only meal I still had to be fed a short while ago. Oh yeah, and I have discovered the fun game of pee-ing in my potty! It doesn't hinder me from going in my diaper, but when I tell my Momma or Dad that I have to "pee!" and they are quick enough, then I pee in my potty, and then I get a raisin as a reward. Yay!

Febuary will be another busy month, but I will try to remind my Momma and Dad to update my blog a bit more often...
