What I Would Say...If I Could Talk

Wow, I can actually talk

2008-03-26T12:44:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-23T16:00:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-23T15:48:00.000-07:00

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

2007-04-23T13:13:00.000-07:00

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

Poop...Uh Oh

2007-02-04T11:40:00.000-08:00

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...

2006-12-02T16:06:00.000-08:00

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

Finally...sheesh

2006-11-22T16:10:00.000-08:00

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

2006-11-02T15:15:00.000-08:00

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...

One Year Down

2006-10-30T14:55:00.000-08:00

Can you believe on Thursday I am going to be one year old already? Where does the time go?

Signs...Signs...Everywhere are Signs

2006-10-16T15:55:00.000-07:00

Well, it's weeks away from my first birthday...and I am busy learning a bunch of new signs...so far I know the sign for "more" and "bye/hi" and I am working on the sign for "eat." Finally...now someone is going to start understanding what the heck I'm talking about...

Hot like a summer's day...

2006-10-06T21:50:00.000-07:00

Today I had to go to the doctor...I had a fever of 103.5. Scary stuff. I feel a little better now after getting some hugs and cuddles from Grandma and Mom. No infections or anything...maybe a virus, the doctor wasn't too sure...but that's all I'm going to say for now...I need some rest.

Oh, Grammy (daddy's mom) is in town from Kentucky this month. She isn't feeling too good either. I was supposed to go to daddy's this weekend, but we all decided it would be best to wait a little while to let everyone get better! I hope we all start feeling good soon, so I can visit with her.

Emily....her name rolls off my tongue like stage 2 sweet potatoes...

2006-10-01T21:44:00.000-07:00

Emily, my dear sweet Emily...How do I love thee? Well, if you haven't guessed, I'm in love...as any 11 month old should be. Isn't she beautiful? We talked for what seemed like hours, and then I leaned in...and planted a nice big kiss right on her face...of course, everyone laughed at me. No one thought I would do it...but I showed them! Mommy...you could have at least told me I had cookies on my face and drool on my shirt...sheesh! But, she loves me just the same...! Tonight at church we sat on the floor and clapped along to the music, then we both went to the nursery and enjoyed some quiet time together...I think we are hitting it off...

Where I've been...

2006-09-09T22:56:00.000-07:00

How can you look at this face and be mad at me for not blogging in such a long time?

I'm just as bad at blogging as my mommy

2006-08-05T21:13:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I realize that it has been a long time since I have posted anything. The truth is, I have been very busy visiting with my GG Charlotte. I was too busy getting spoiled to take the time to sit and blog...you will just have to get over it. Since the last time we have talked I have turned 9 months old. I am trying very hard to walk, and just when I think I have the balance to take that first step, I fall. Life is tough. I now have 4 teeth on the top of my mouth, and 2 on the bottom...if I have calculated correctly, I believe that is 6 teeth in all. I won't let my mommy take a picture of them...not that it matters, because her camera is so slow that everytime she takes my picture I already have my eyes closed...so I look drugged up in all my pics...I'll post an example of that in a minute. I am trying to talk, but all I can really say is "da da da da da" or "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" or my all time favorite "ssssshrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!"

Big Visit

2006-07-19T06:03:00.000-07:00

GG is coming to town today! This is a picture from the first time I ever met her when I was just 4 days old! She came to visit me while I was still in Phoenix Children's Hopsital NICU. I am so going to be spoiled for the next couple of weeks...

Sleep Over

2006-07-14T14:49:00.000-07:00

So, tonight I'm going over to daddy's for a sleep over. I'm excited, but I will miss my mommy. She won't know what to do without me...! I hope daddy reads me a story like mommy does...maybe he will read me a story out of one of his ESPN magazines...I'm afraid to tell him I'm a Steeler's fan though....he likes Green Bay...yuck.

Nothing Special...

2006-07-09T15:28:00.000-07:00

...just me!!!

If you got it...flaunt it...that's what I always say

2006-07-08T21:28:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you just gotta put your butt in the air...and wave it like ya just don't care...

Stupid Gap

2006-07-08T12:00:00.000-07:00

Dude, just because it's on sale doesn't mean I'm going to like it. I have no clue why my mommy always buys me hats, she knows I don't like them. Well, I came up with the perfect plan on how to get rid of it...during our walk this morning I chucked it over the side of the stroller I screeched with delight...mom didn't even notice until about a half mile down the road. I about laughed my diaper off as she frantically went searching for it...unfortunately she found it...

My New Trick

2006-07-08T11:51:00.000-07:00

I'm so good at it, I even taught the dog...seriously, I love doing this because it totally freaks mom out...especially when I fall...

Teeth

2006-07-07T18:54:00.000-07:00

My head feels like it's about to explode, the fever, the pressure...all for a couple of lousy teeth that I'm just going to be losing in a few years anyway...

How am I supposed to pick up chicks will all of this drool coming out of my mouth??

My mug

2006-07-07T14:13:00.000-07:00

Here I am

2006-07-07T13:50:00.000-07:00

Ok, I'm eight months old, and my mom is trying to set me down for a freaking nap, but I don't want to take one, so I've decided to sit here and scream. Then, when she comes into the room...I have learned if I get a huge smile on my face, she isn't so mad...
