Popsicles

Yum!

Pumpkins

This weekend I helped mommy and daddy carve pumpkins. Well actually I just played in the goop and chewed on pumpkin pieces. Apparently I'm not allowed to use knives. I think they did a great job. I especially like to pull the lids off to look at the candles when they are lit. "Hot" is my word of the week!

Happy Belated Birthday Daddy

Thursday was daddy's birthday. I helped mommy pick out his presents and I even signed a card for him. I loved the part where mommy turned out the lights, lit a candle, and sang a song to him. I wish I knew the words so I could have sung too. (I only know Row, Row, Row.) I hope daddy felt special, because to be honest my 1st birthday party was way more fun.

Catch

I love watching daddy play catch with Abby. She is soooooo fast! I really want her to play with me too but she doesn't seem able to catch the ball when I throw it. And lets be realistic, I'm a little too young to be able to throw the frisbee. For now I'll just keep trying.

I don't even mind that much when Abby's not interested in me because there are so many leaves to play with. You can really have a lot of fun with a pile of leaves.

Shoes

First of all, I love my shoes. I like to wear them or carry them, play with the velcro, and sometimes I try to put them on mommy's feet. But, I also like mommy and daddy's shoes. I bring them their shoes whenever I want to go out. I like to try them on but I haven't figured out how to walk in them yet. Today I had fun making big shoe piles and hiding my dirty Kleenex in mommy's sneakers.

Not so big boy

This morning I had my 15 month check-up a few days late. I surprised mommy and daddy by getting back on the growth charts. Today I was 32.25 inches long and 28.5 pounds, both in the 90th percentile. They were worried that I was eating too much. What they don't know is that I give a lot of my food to Abby. I showed the doctor how advanced I am by pointing out my nose and belly-button, doing my parrot and gorilla impressions, and displaying my excellent walking ability. He was very impressed. Then he sent in the mean nurse to stab me with three needles. Three!! Mom says that now I won't get the chicken pox, flu, measles, mumps, or rubella. I don't know what those are, but they can't be as bad as shots. After the doctor, daycare, and an afternoon at the park with mommy, I am beat!! 7 pm nite-nite couldn't come soon enough.

Sunny days

Some day when I'm bigger I'll be able to climb up on this rock all by myself. Until then, I'm glad I have mommy and daddy to help.

Chores

After watching mommy vacuum, I thought I'd help out around the house too. Sweeping is not as easy as it looks!

Water fountains

are awesome!

Decisions, decisions

Its an endless argument... which is better the swings or the slide. They are both equally fun. At this point however, I will go with the slide, simply because I can say slide (sounds like: yide).

Superboy!

Superhero costume or pj's? You decide.

(I'm getting in the mood for Halloween.)

Leaves

The best thing about fall has got to be the leaves. I can spend hours picking them up, stepping on them, or my favorite... throwing them off the deck one by one. Bombs away!

Where Is Baby's Belly Button?

There it is!

Book club

If I finish this book by Sunday, do you think mommy will let me come to her book club meeting? I love books and I'm a great communicator. In fact I said my first sentence today "Bye, Daddy." I'm definitely ready to discuss the finer points of plot and character development.
