Me Lately...

Mommy said that ever since I turned one I've kept her so buys it's been hard to have time to do blog updates.  Now she's trying to catch up on letting you know what I've been up to and I thought I should help. :)

Well this isn't me but it's my friend Clara.  She was born just 3 months before me so we get along pretty good.  Mommy said she thought that I was an active boy until she hung around Clara.  Sometimes she runs back and forth and jumps around so much I almost get scared.  I think I'm getting used to it now, though, and I even try to keep up with her.  Sometimes her mommy takes care of me, but this time we went to her house to take care of her.

 Mommy and Daddy wanted at least one picture with us, but it was really hard since we don't stand still for more than a couple seconds at the same time.  Mommy helped. :)

I learn a lot being around Clara.  I'm mostly used to being around grown-ups, except in stores and in the nursery at church.  Clara taught me some of her dance moves, which are fun!  I don't like it when she cries, though.  I get pretty worried and start crying too.  Mommy likes how I share with her... except I don't understand why she won't let me give her food I've chewed on or my sippy cup.  Hmm.  She says I also need to learn to share when I don't want to.  This just doesn't make any sense to me yet.  Good thing there are lots of toys that are alike. I'm giving her one of my crackers in this picture.  

 Ok, here's me back at home!  I really like books lately...even more than before.  I figured out how to dump them all out and sit in the basket!  It's pretty comfortable if you ask me.

 Mommy showed me her crayons the other day, which I couldn't figure out how to use the right way, but I just LOVE dumping them out and putting them back in the cup!

 It's a job I take very seriously!

 I also REALLY like the legos that I got for my birthday from the Parkins.  At first I would just watch people build but now I like to try to do it too!

Daddy sometimes tries to help but I tell him how it should go!  As you can see he's very serious in these pictures.  Actually, he's not really paying attention, which is why I had to show him he was doing it wrong.  He's listening to the A's on the radio!  They did REALLY good this year and even though his face doesn't show it here, he really enjoyed listening to the games and hoping for a HUGE win!

 Here's a better picture!  See!  He's pretty happy about how they were doing!  This is when I went to bed and he would turn the radio down so I could fall asleep!  He's a good daddy. :)  Sadly, they didn't get as far as he hoped, but he's still proud!

 Check this out!  We found a super discounted blow-up pool and slide since it was the end of summer!  We got it for next year, but I've had fun on the slide already!

 I drink lots of water these days.  Mommy is always handing me a sippy cup, cuz she says it will help my digestion.  I can finally poop regularly, but only because I have to take Miralax every day.  It's a relief for all of us to get better sleep now.  (hope that's not TMI)

 I really like sitting in chairs!  I get so proud and happy cuz I feel like a big boy!  I AM a big boy by the way!

 Have you ever tried sucking on your feet?  You really should!  The big toe is especially fun!

Mommy thinks I'm funny cuz I slurp so loud!  And, no, I still never suck my thumb. :)

Here's one of my favorite times of the week- right after bath time!  I get SO excited about getting on mommy's lap because I know she'll wrap me all up on a towel!  Then we look in the mirror, laugh and cuddle!  Time for bed! 

So that's a little bit about me lately.  Mommy will post soon with pictures of when we go on walks every day, and our Sunday walk with Opa Chuck.  I love you all and miss you too!
