.......want...... hmmmmmmmm......
Instead, I get to eat zucchini, and salad, and carrots, and meat and noodles... you know, all those things that will make me big and healthy and strong. Ok, ok, and as you can tell, I like those, too... but not as much as I liked that cookie that I stuffed in my mouth faster than lightening when my Dad was offering me a tiny nibble!
Look at all those gifts! Most of them are mine. Of course.
Look what my Dad gave me!
It's a wooden sword! You use these to make loud noises by hitting the couch, and you can poke the kitty with it. Oh yeah. And don't forget fishing for things on top of the shelf!
So I unpacked, and unpacked and unpacked. It was fun! Thank you to everyone who gave me loot!
After unpacking gifts, I had fun playing with my new toys. My Momma and I built two really tall towers with the additional mega blocks I got.
And I had fun playing with the little race track. Hmm. This car doesn't fit.
Just to make sure my older toys didn't get jealous, I played with them, too...
Well, it sure is fun to be a fireman! I get to clank this big bell, and drive around and around!
My Momma is hiding behind the lamp from Dad. She was being pretty unsafe, standing on the OUTSIDE of my truck while I drove!
Uhhh, yeah. SO my Momma didn't take any pictures of me last week, so she decided to take some of me eating this morning. Great choice. I get to show off my teeth and how well I can eat with a fork.
Ok, so first you get the food to stick on the fork, by any means necessary.
Then you open your mouth really wide, so as to avoid poking yourself.
And when you are done chewing, you open your mouth wide to show your Momma and Dad that you have no more food left.
And then you smile a toothy crocodile smile to entice them to give you more food.
Alright! I'm in my element! Dirt +sand +shovels +bucket +ball =FUN!
Never underestimate the fun of jumping off of a table every now and then when you get bored of digging in the sand.
What? Did someone say BORED of digging in the SAND? Crazy people, there is NO SUCH THING!
Yes, sir! Except for maybe taking a bath, or wrestling with my Dad or Momma, playing in the sand is one of my favorite things to do!
My Momma got creative and made me some "eyes" of my very own...
...yeah... they lasted for about 5 minutes. If that.
Then my Dad had the brilliant idea to get out his Army BCGs... (ask my Momma what the acronym stands for!)...which I love!
Yep, these are fun to wear. Will you go on a date with me, baby?
Ooooooh, yeah. I am a goodlooking man.
I have a new skill: stacking! I've been able to stack my mega blocks for a while, and could put two or three blocks on top of each other. But now I can build real towers! I love stacking. I stack wooden blocks, I stack boxes, I stack food, I stack my megablocks, or anything else I can get my hands on. Fun!
Ok, don't sneeze! This takes a lot of concentration!
Con-cen-trate.... CON-cen-trate!
Oh man, why did my Momma give me this weird shaped block? I've figured out the triangles, and the cylindric blocks... but this stupid bridge block always makes my tower fall.
Could somebody PLEASE tell my Momma to give me good old normal sensible blocks next time?
Phew! After all that sitting still and concentrating, it is time to wriggle around in my ball house! Yay!!!!
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"...
Hi! I see you!
Hey! I love visiting other people's houses, cuz they have so much cool stuff I can get into!
My Dad is so big, he can hold me AND my friend Joel AT THE SAME TIME!! Pretty cool, huh?
