Oodles of pictures

I've been so far behind- is it really April? Partly due to Mom's computer acting up, but at least I have a lot of pictures to show what I've been up to! They are a bit out of order, but we'll just chalk that up to the computer. I've been exploring different tastes. Here I am eating a pickle I took from Daddy.

















This year we were able to attend Great-Grandmama's birthday anniversary at the Colonnade. Super yummy rolls! I also liked eating the lemons. And I got to hang out with the guys- Uncle Ben and Cousin Donald. At one point we were comparing hair and heads.

We're still getting stuff taken care of around the house. I've been a big help, naturally. I'm a great climber, so I love it when they get the step stool out.

I like to explore the outdoors, too, especially since it's warming up outside. I collect things, like rocks and pebbles.

I keep talking abut Gymboree (don't I?) but in case you don't know what it is, here I am at it. At the end, they bring out a huge parachute. I'm learning to like to do more things on it, like ride it and lie under it for parachute tickles. I do really like popping bubbles on it. Pop, pop!

Here I am cleaning up after Daddy. He's always dropping balls. Good thing I'm shorter, so I can easily pick them up. And then drop them myself!

Peachie and Faux Pas came over for dinner one night. At one point it was man time- just us guys for some one on one straight talk. I told them all they needed to know about everything.

I've been helping around the outside of the house too. Here I am cleaning out some leaves and stuff from the plants. Honestly. I'm not eating dirt.

See! No dirt!

On St Patty's Day, we had a little party. I wore my "Party in My Crib at 3:00 am" shirt Aunt Libby gave me. It's a onesie, so Daddy can't get my belly button. Didn't stop him from trying!

Mom likes a show on TV called "Holmes on Homes", about a good contractor fixing bad contractor's work. He wears overalls. I'm wearing overalls, so I must be a contractor. And I've got a stud finder. I'm trying to call to find a stud, but it's not working. Mom says we already have one in Dad. That's funny.

I found a pebble outside, and Granma made up a fun game for me with it called "Baby Curling". We hit the pebble with big brooms. It's a lot of fun. I love the big brooms, and not run to get them whenever I see Granma.

Also on St Patty's Day, I got a trampoline. I love going up and down in the air. Oh, the trampoline is also called "Daddy". He got quite a workout!

A lot of people don't realize this, but cabinet knobs are a great place to store mixer blades. I'm very organized and creative.

Another thing I enjoyed trying this month was ice. I've been getting a lot of it at day care with all of my boo-boos. Ice is fun to play with! A little cold, but eh (this was taken on one of the days I had pink eye. Shared it with Mom too. Oh, and I had double ear infections, just for added fun. I got to stay home a few days with Mom, and Grandpa, Grandma and Granma came over to play with me. Who needs school??

I like to look out the front windows while waiting for my Daddy to come home. And I love peanut butter. So it just makes sense to combine those two activities.

I'm not limited to just tall brooms. I also like tall mop-like things. This isn't a hockey stick, though it looks like one. With all my curling practice, I'll be ready for the real thing soon!

Whew, all of my activities this month wore me out! Time to catch some winks. (I like to lay down these towels like a mat at school). Nighty-night!

17 months

I'm 17 months today! In honor, I'm going back in time to when I was younger...

Of my many new accomplishments, climbing is one of my favorites. Not a favorite of Mom and Dad, which makes it even more fun! Here I got into the chair by myself, and I'm responding to Mom's umpteenth request to put my toushie in the seat.

I'm getting my first school picture taken on Thursday (Mom wishes the photographer much luck in getting me to stay still). So I got another haircut. Here is the before.

And the after. Yay, Mom didn't think they cut a lot either. So guess I'll be having another one sooner rather than later.

March already?

How did that happen? I know February is a short month and all, but wow! Guess I've just been caught up in the new house, new school, and seeing all of my family here. Exploring cabinets, and the stairs. I like to chase Dashie up them.

Made it to the top!

The weather is getting better (or was earlier this week- rainy now), so I've been able to explore the outside. I mean, we had snow a week ago!

Here I am in our backyard and back deck. Enjoying some peanut butter. Yummy.

Now it's time to start practicing for Easter. Wait, that's not an egg, that's a pine cone! Haven't seen one of those before.

Now these are eggs.

Sorry for the long wait between posts. I'll try to get better (and have Mommy take more pictures of me. I mean, really, it can't be that hard. I do adorable stuff all the time!)
