Time with Milo

Milo and I spent a couple afternoons playing together - here are some pictures.

What a Weekend!

We had so much fun this weekend. Saturday morning Mommy and I went to the Farmer's Market up the street. We saw some friends there, and there were a lot of other kids there too. I enjoyed watching them and watching the two people play live music (mom said the instruments were called accordians). I really liked the sound they made, and I even danced just a little bit (although I was a little shy to dance in front of all the people). Then Dad, Mom, and I went on a bike ride to have a picnic with some friends from church. I ate SO many strawberries!

Yesterday we went to church and I played with Danny during the service. I even shared my bagel with him. We watched Mom and Dad sing a song together up front. After church, Daddy surprised Mom with some flowers, and I sang her my version of a Happy Mother's Day song.

After a nap, Mom and I took a walk around the block (and I rode on my bike part of the way), then planted some lettuce together in the back yard.
Today we went to the zoo (second time this weekend!) and even ate lunch together there. Here's me transferring my gymnastics skills over to the bike racks at the zoo.
This afternoon I had my gymnastics class. Mommy said she was proud of me because I am a fast learner and do so well with all the gymnastics. I like the trampoline (they call it the Tumble Track) the best. In the middle of jumping down the trampoline tumble track, I stopped, looked at Mom and said "Gymnashiks", then kept jumping. That made mom laugh.

To finish off the weekend I had blackberries for dessert tonight. They are really funny little fruits. You should try them.

My talent

We had our second annual Talentless Show, and I wanted to share my talent on my blog...

Two

Well, I'm not one anymore, but I'm going to keep the title of my blog the same. A lot has happened in the last two months! I've been chatting away, running around, playing outside in the warm weather, and being all around cute.
I'll get to the last two months, but I want to talk about today. Mom and I spent the morning running errands (I just sang most of the time, so it was good). Then she took me out for lunch (after we went to the post office and the man gave me a coloring book; then bought a cantelope). After my nap, we went to my first gymnastics class! It was SO much fun - I did a somersault, swung on hanging rings, jumped on a trampoline, did a head stand, and giggled and smiled all afternoon. Then we went to my friend Milo's house, because I REALLY wanted to see him (I cried when Mom told me he wasn't going to be at gymnastics). Then, I got to eat strawberries and cantelope for dinner. So, overall it was a good day. I'm really excited that Milo and I will be in the same gymnastics class starting next week.
Okay - the last two months. Here are a few pictures to recap...

Truck at the Park

Here are two pictures of me playing on the truck at the playground. One is of me last year and one is of me this year. Can you guess which is which?

Sad about the computer

We're all kind of sad about our computer. It broke a few months ago and we lost a lot of our pictures on it. But now we have it fixed, so hopefully I'll be able to put some more videos and pictures from our other camera on the blog when we get it hooked up again.

ABC 123

Well, I've learned a few new things since I last wrote. Some new songs. I can sing some of Ring around the Rosie, which I call "Assis (ashes)", and some of the alphabet song "A..B..C...A..B..C...X!!" I've also learned to count - but I'm not always sure of the order of the numbers. Mom caught me the other day trying. I said, "....2...3....6...7...8...3". I don't think it was quite right, but she said "Good job!".

Snow in my yard

The weather has been really funny this past week. We had snow, then it was warm and I didn't have to wear a big coat outside, now it's cold again. I like going outside no matter what, though. Our front yard was white one day! The top two pictures are of me out front. Dad took them with his phone.
I really like to wear hats now too, and I've gotten creative. Mom made this as a purse, but when I put it on my head, she said I could have it as my own hat. It fits! I also enjoy wearing mom and dad's hats around the house.

Birthdays!

I didn't realize birthdays were so much fun! There's cake, candles, singing, dinner with friends, going to the aquarium, more singing, some dancing, and lots of cards to open! And it wasn't even MY birthday! Mom and Dad had their birthdays last week, and they said that mine is coming up soon. I can't wait! I hope I have all of those things on my birthday.
Here's a picture of Mom, Grandmom, Grandpop, and me at the Baltimore aquarium. We're standing in the jaws of a prehistoric shark (a megalodon!).

COLD!

It's not as cold as Minnesota (where we only went outside for a little bit at a time to go snowshoeing and sledding on the tobogan - I call it the "bogan"), but it is cold! It's so cold that I actually keep my gloves on when I go outside. Even when I want to pick something up (except in this picture).

Bugs and Blue Gowns

The doctor told Mommy that I have a bug in my stomach! I don't feel it in my stomach, but I feel like it's trying to get out! A few days ago, Mommy got worried because I was very very sleepy and didn't want to drink anything. So she took me to the doctor. They gave me a bracelet and a new blue gown. They put lots of things on me and listened. I had to be very quiet. They also gave me a lot of yummy syrup in a tube (they called it medicine... I call it "menin"). I'm feeling a lot better now, but now the bug is in Daddy's belly. Poor Daddy. I hope no one else gets the bug in their belly.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It's been a good year so far. I've been busy, so I haven't written in awhile. Plus, Mom and Dad's computer broke, so I haven't been able to put any pictures on the blog. Since I last wrote, I saw ALL of my cousins, ALL of my aunts and uncles, ALL of my Grandparents, and I took a plane ride too! I was in Virginia, New York, and Minnesota.
I saw Santa in my neighborhood. I didn't really look at him but I did let him come over and give me a present. Mom took a picture on her phone.
I've also been talking a lot more! Wow - it's really fun. I've started putting some words together too! I tell Mom and Dad to "sit down" and "stand up". I tell Mom and Dad when people are napping ("Isaiah. Nap." "Liam. Nap."), and I can tell Mom and Dad what we're all wearing "Mommy hat." "Daddy coke (coat)." "Lolo (Lauren) boots". My newest word is "broke" (My crayons, the cup, the chair all broke this week).
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Here are a few of my New Year's resolutions:
1. Learn how to jump
2. Talk more
3. Dance more
4. Eat more peanut butter

I'll write again soon!
