Wow, I can actually talk

Seeing how it's been almost a year since I've been able to blog, I suppose I should tell you that I am able to really talk now. It's been a very busy year. I have turned two. I have been potty trained. I am able to run, gallop, climb, sing and play the drums. Life is good. Here are a few pics of when I tried to dress myself...I'm still working on that.

How I Roll

Feeding the ducks

I don't really quite understand why you would want me to throw this perfectly good piece of bread to a stinky duck, when I could just go ahead and eat it myself...

Bathtime

I hate it when mom interrupts me during my bath time. Ok, well, this was at grandma's house, who I affectionately call "mama." Yes, I've acquired a nice head of hair, which is full of luscious curls...the ladies really dig it...

Ice Cream is Yummy

...and it goes down soooo smooth...

Poop...Uh Oh

Ok, so this picture is a little old...mom has been a little slow on downloading the pictures. Now that I'm 15 months old, I should really start helping around the house more...actually I'm trying. For instance, the other day I opened up all the cupboards and took everything out of them and threw all the stuff on the floor...I thought that would help mommy see everything she has in there. Then I emptied the first 2 rows of books off the bookshelves....you should see all the dust mommy has missed while dusting...I just thought I would help bring that to her attention. Life has become much easier since I've started walking. I've realized I can go anywhere I want...including in the bathroom when mommy forgets to close the door...where I proceed to un-roll entire rolls of toilet paper in just mere minutes. I've become quite good at this...! Talking is fun too...my favorite words are "poop" "uh oh" "doggies" "mom" and "giraffe"

Life is good...and I still have a gorgeous girlfriend to share it with...yes...Emilee and I are getting quite serious...we are to the point where we feed cheerios to each other. That is true love.

Until the next time...

Uncle Cory...

...I adore him, but sometimes I really just have to point out the obvious...

Finally...sheesh

Here we go...finally, a picture that I am smiling in...! I am now one, life is so much easier now that I'm one. I am getting into everything, which drives mom crazy. I chase after my dogs until they hide under something....and I LOVE drumming...on anything, with anything. Grandma got me a drum for my birthday, and sometimes mom has to hide it because I play with it so much. I am now standing and taking a few steps every now and then...but I'm still a big fan of crawling! Today I said "buh bye" and waved when I was dropped off at daycare. I am totally excited for Thanksgiving this year now that I'm eating a little bit of real food...last year I got a little ripped off with the whole breastmilk/soy formula crap they were feeding me. I plan to dig into some mash potatoes and maybe some pie. Everyday it seems like I am learning something new...it's crazy how much there is to learn in this world.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving...I gotta go run and pick up Uncle Cory from work!

one and loving it

Today is my birthday!

I went to visit mommy at work, and all her students loved me! I even stood for them for a long time! Then I yelled at them to get back to work...

One of the students bought me a birthday present with their own allowance money! That was so nice of him!

There is a lot to learn in a year...
