BIG boy!

I have been really growing into a big boy lately. I started combing my hair and I think it really makes me look sharp. I just do that for fun sometimes because I like my hair best when it is crazy and wild--just like me!

As you can see from the pictures, I have also started picking out my own clothes. All I have to do when I want to wear my chicken suit is go to the closet and start clucking and Mom or Dad gets it down for me and I get to wear it as long as I want. I never get to wear it outside, though. Mom and Dad say that I have to wait until Halloween or something.

I call my dog, Ruby, by shouting her name and clapping. I have also tried this with Mama with less than stellar results. My Poppy got out of the hospital from his back surgery and now he has hair all over his face. He stopped by yesterday for a visit and it was weird. I didn't want to touch it.

Mama and Dad also put up my easel Uncle Josh got me. I love to draw and color whenever I can. I draw pictures of Mama all the time. I also love to look at pictures of motorcycles (pronounced ong-gong).

Also in the big boy department I like to feed myself whenever I can. Some foods are easier than others, like french fries (pronounced fruh-frise) Recently I mastered yogurt as you can see in the pics.

When I am not doing all of those things, I like to make pillow forts, play in my boat outside, go to the pool or on bike rides with dad and walks with mama. At the end of the day (and sometimes in the middle) I enjoy a good sleep. Mama says she likes those times a lot, too.

OK. BYE (pronounced die, unfortunately)

End of Summer

Hey y'all!
I hope this finds everyone doing well. I am doing great. 20 months old now. I am weighing in at almost 25 lbs. and am very tall. My hair is getting long, but my parents won't cut it. I wonder how old I will be when I get my 1st haircut? I think it will be awhile.

I jumped out of my crib again...I met my mom at the top of the steps with a bloody face. Just a split lip--no worries. I am trying to talk a lot more; "pool, juice, dye(for bye), hi!, moon, tree, shoe, shirt, key and the list goes on... My dad just started back to school and I miss him. When he gets ready in the morning I like to put on a pair of his socks or shoes and run around the house.

He and my Pop-pop built me a boat to play in and it is in the backyard. I put my pony "Rody" on my boat. It was so much fun someone should write a song about that! I just learned about these things called Juice boxes. They are awesome. I have a drink holder in my boat that was just made for those things.

My Dad also put up new ceiling fans. He used a "ladder" and "tools". I remind him and Mom of those items whenever I see those fans (pronounce them yadder and toos).

I had my first sleepover at my CiCi and Poppy's house. Poppy is getting his back fixed again at the hospital and I have a bit of a cold so I can't go to see him yet, but I will see him when he gets home in a few days.

I am going to go look for trucks now. We have a lot of cool trucks in the neighborhood. Garbage, recycling and yesterday I even saw a street sweeper.

Okay. Bye.

Cahal and Lillie...

...always have fun playing together!
