Outside, my favorite…

 

Bubbles…

Silly Boy…

 

My Mountain Home…

Tonight Momma, Daddy and I went and hung out with all of our AM friends for the AM program night extravaganza for Adventure Mountain.  I had lots of fun, especially hanging out with Adam, and throwing with Annie, Matt, Nate and Bobbi and playing with napkins with Sky and Buff. 

 

Adventure Mountain has Rocks.  Yay Rocks!

Goldfish Massacre…

Sometimes fishies need to be sacrificed so that people can learn to eat.  Our house is no exception.

   

Chompy likes to put the fishies in his mouth, bite them in half, do it again until several are in there and then spit them all out.  Repeat and repeat and repeat! :) 

World Cup 2030…

Things I can understand…

In the last week or so, Momma and Daddy have realized that I understand a lot of what they are saying.  Here’s some examples:

When Daddy asked me to bring him my shoes, I did.

Momma said “Can you please turn the lights off?”  And, I stopped what I was doing and flipped the switch.

Every time that they say “ball”, I look at my ball and go get it.  I do the same thing with my truck.  When I play with my truck, I make engine sounds.

When Momma asked me where my paci was, I found it for her.

They have to spell bottle and milk now, because I understand those words. 

I know that the ding of the microwave means that a bottle is coming.

I give kisses and hugs when asked.

When Momma says “dance” I show her my best dance moves.  If there’s any music playing, no matter where we are, I start dancing. 

I’m sure there are more, but this is what Momma can think of right now :) 

It’s fun learning!

The last few days…

I’m so excited about all the balls in the cart.

  Why are you looking at me?  I’m just eating my banana cookie :)

When running with Momma, it’s good to stretch and touch your toes.

Trial run in the big boy car seat! :)  I like it!

Fun…

Thanks for Elmo Cassidy!  I like him a lot!

Hi guys!  This is my tent! 

I went swimming again and like it!
