Old man winter has been knocking on my door, but I refuse to answer it. Wow, how fast the months go by these days. It seems like I just posted on here not too long ago. A lot has happened since last post as usual. Halloween has come and gone and now my my birthday (and daddy's too) is just around the corner. Christmas will be here before you know it. Can you believe I am almost 2 years old. I can, I'm very mature for my age. I'm learning some manners. I say please quite a bit these days wen I want something instead of throwing a tantrum, although I do still have the ocassional tantrum. Mommy and daddy continue to stimulate my brain. Mommy and I go throught the alphabet every day and think of words for each letter. Daddy taught me the planets in a couple of days with very minimal effort. Now I can say them in order from Murcury to Pluto. Daddy says that some wierd people somewhere said that Pluto is not a planet, but we still think it is. I have been fascinated with my Baby Einstein Baby Galileo movie. It has all the planets and other cool space stuff. I ask to watch it multiple times a day although mommy and dady don't let me watch it as much as I would like to. My vocabulary continues to widen. I have a lot of my books memorized and daddy tests me to see if I can finish the sentences. Sometimes I just take over completely. I've learned a lot more animal sounds and I am sooo cute when I do them. As you can see below, I am doing gggggrrrrreeeaaattt! Scroll down for more updates and info on the pictures.










Pictures 1 and 2 are me showing off my creative side. Mommy gets me to add a personal touch when she sends some of her cards. Sometimes I cooperate and sometimes I just don't feel like being creative. picture 3 was me mommy and daddy together at the park. I love the slide and man is it a big one. I like to go down over and over. Picture 4 is obvious. Just relaxing in my chair with a book. I still go crazy for my books. Picture 5, mommy and daddy took me to a cider mill. They have some goats and horses (the horses were not there though)and they have a long trail through the trees alongside a small river. We ran into one of my favorite animals in the whole wide world. I don't think a day goes by where don't quack like a duck at least once. Daddy and I were able to get real close without scaring them away even though i was quacking like a wild woman. Who knows, maybe they liked my quacking and that is why they stayed.




Picture 6 is a road trip that mommy and Karen (my nurse) took me on. We went to grandma and grandpa's house. They had a slide for me to play on and a wagon for me to ride in and even a dog for me to play with. We had lots of fun. Picture 7 is of me and papa. Nana and Papa came to visit me and I spent some time on papa's lap while he read me some books. What a swell guy. In number 8 I am playing with my purle radio. I love to put in a cd and take it back out and put it back in again. I love music. If I hear a song I love, I will get entranced and nothing else will be able to grab my attention. I've learned how to hit the buttons and navigate through the songs. The next couple are from our halloween party that we had at our house. A lot of my cousins and aunts and uncle's came over to celebrate with us. We had a blast. The first one is me and Logan, what a monkey. If you look closely you will notice I am a pumpkin. I picked this costume myself but would only wear it for a few minutes.

These next couple of pictures (#11&12) are of me watching a show with my cousins. I was pretty tired in number 12 and was being my usual snuggly self with my cousin Zach. Number 13 is froma photo session in a halloween outfit. I just can't get over how cute I am. Numbers 14 and 15 are my new physical therapy devices. They are both standers we are borrowing to help me work on standing by myself. I'm going to be standing on my own in no time. I can already stand with very minimal support, I just need to work on my balance a little bit.










The days are usually busy around our house, so I try to do a lot of multi-tasking to get more things done. Sometimes I'll read a book with my hands and drink some water with my feet at the same time. I feel a lot more productive when I do stuff like this. Last picture is me on my bike smiling at myself in the mirror. I'm such a goof ball and I know it. I make myself laugh! Thanks for looking and take care all.
