I AM STRONG! I have super He-man strength! I can turn this whole thing over!
...and then I can stand it back up again! I am sooooo proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, my cousin Chris had a doctor's appt. so he came to my house for a little while with Aunt Kim. I was very amused with him! I took my nap shortly after he got there, and when I woke up, Lynn was here while they were at the doctor. We played and had fun! We went outside but it got really hot! Aunt Kim returned and Lynn was leaving. I said "bye bye" and Aunt Kim said "wave at her!" and I plainly said "No". That was another new word for me!

I love the great outdoors!

We played outside a LOT this weekend! Saturday morning, we all went outside and enjoyed the beautiful day! I had great fun pushing this "vehicle" around and it didn't bother me at all when I would fall and skin my knees because I was going too fast! I just LOVE being mobile!
Kennedy made this photo of me! I think she is an awesome photographer!
Hmmm...what can I get into next out here?
Ok, I can help Kali with her breakfast! She was very patient even though I kept interrupting her mealtime!
Next, Daddy needed the hose pulled out to water some plants, so of course, I was ready to help with that too!
Open these gates!! I love to rattle the gates as loud as possible!

Hey Tyler, whatcha doing in there????
Tyler was giving me kisses through the fence! Later on, Mommy gave BOTH dogs a "shampoo and set"! They really needed it!
On Sunday afternoon, we all went to the park and Kennedy rode her bike and I walked and rode in the stroller.
Come on, guys! Let's get going!! I'm ready to run!!!

LOOK at me! I grabbed a whole
slice of bread! I am big stuff!

We didn't have time to make any pictures today! We made banana bread and took some to Aunt Martha and visited her for awhile! I was really good! She got to see me walking around for the 1st time!

We went around back and
practiced riding my bike with
my shoes on! It was a little
hard! I kept getting the wheels
stuck on my shoes!

Look at the wind blow my
hair!!!!

Today we went outside to play
with bubbles! It was lots of fun!

"Quack, Quack"!

I am working on my laptop!

I am playing a tune on my piano! (...and
with only one hand!)

I am playing music on the
steering wheel I removed from
my bike! ...and yes, I AM holding
a pink bottle! I found it in the
cup cabinet and it makes fun
noises when I throw!

Aunt Kim ran out of time yesterday! I said the word "diaper"!

Today I went to see Dr. Beveridge for my 15 month old check up. She said I looked great! I weigh 24 pounds and I am 31 1/4 inches tall. I am in a great mood and I was very good at the doctor's office.

This is us having lunch!
Kennedy is drinking from her
"apple" cup she got on her field
trip to the Apple Orchard!

Kennedy making some of her
projects!

My big sister Kennedy is out of school today and she is at home with us today! I'm not sure why I am having to share Aunt Kim's attention today! We both want Aunt Kim's full attention! They are doing projects that I can't touch and I don't like it! I keep going over to the table where Kennedy is working and throwing my ball and my toys up right into the middle of her stuff!

My big sister Kennedy is out of school today and she is at home with us today!

This is me half way up the stairs. I have
to stop and look around to make sure I
don't miss anything (like a little tiny
thread on the carpet!).

This is me feeding myself green beans
with a fork! Shortly after this picture,
I threw the fork of course! (it was pink!)

This is me reading my favorite book!
Peekaboo Kisses

...and there is more! About an hour and half AFTER I ate lunch, I crawled up Aunt Kim, leaned all the way around her and said "nana"! Aunt Kim turned around to look and sure enough there were bananas right there! Guess what??? I got to get back in my high chair and I ate a whole banana!!!!!!!!!!! I was very excited! I am starting to figure out that I can get what I want by saying these words! It's great! ...and as if I am wasting away here, I also talked Aunt Kim into some of her lunch! She was eating spaghetti and meatballs and I ate a whole meat ball too! She wants to know if there is an end to this bottomless pit of mine?!?

More words for me! (and sounds!!) Yeah! This weekend I said "Ceicy" and today I said "tractor" for Aunt Kim! I like reading my books and there are tractors in one of them. I said it 3 different times when Aunt Kim was reading to me!

I also immitate animal sounds now! I do "quack quack" for a duck, "woof woof" for a dog, "baa baa" for a sheep, "rahhh" for a tiger, and "beep beep" for a car! I have learned all of these from my books! I also immitate any possible human sound I hear, even when you think I am not listening!

Aunt Kim heard that I got some cool
new shoes this weekend! Here they
are!

Do I look cool or what???

I am still working on some
balance issues!

In the end, crawling is still
the fastest way to get there!
(at least for now!)

I am intently playing the piano!

Getting my balance!

I just crack myself up!

Aunt Kim and I played with puppies
today!

I love having this barking puppet talk
to me!

I even gave him kisses!

Aunt Kim forgot to put this picture
out there yesterday! This was also
at lunch with cousin Michael!
This was after lunch when they were
lining up to go back to the classroom.
Michael was the line leader.

I am playing with Isabelle. She is my
big sister's friend and she is my neighbor!

Kennedy and Isabelle

More vocabulary by the day!!!
Today I said the word "book"!
Aunt Kim has also officially
declared that I say the word
"kisses". It sounds more like
"issie" in tot talk but I say it and
then grab my favorite book
"Peekaboo Kisses" every time!
It is going on the books as one of
my words!

I am sneaking up on my Aunt Kim to
get her hair clippie!!!!

Oopps! I think she saw me!

You gotta be kiddin' me!!!!! I

just sat down and now the other

one has stopped playing!

Hey! Maybe I can get this

one playing at the same time!

Okay - I like to keep the music going!
I keep starting the music and as soon
as I turn around to do something else,
it stops! I have to stop and restart the
music!


over...

...and over...

...and over again!!!!!!!!!!
