The Great Baby Swap

Today Mommy and Daddy and Oliver's mommy and daddy went out without us - not at the same time, though. Mommy and Daddy saw a movie, then Oliver's mommy and daddy went out to eat.

Oliver playing nicely by himself.
Me, posing for the camera.

Here I am showing Oliver how to properly play with the piano.

Smith Memorial Playground

Oliver and me hanging-out at Smith Memorial Playground. Oliver is wearing one of my stripy outfits because he had an accident in the car. Mommy loves to lend-out my stripy outfits.




We didn't swing very long. It was hot and sunny.
I had a delicious lunch - an almond butter and banana sandwich on organic sprouted grain bread.

Oliver took a nap while I ate lunch.

Construction Site

Today Mommy let me play at a construction site while we were waiting for Oliver to finish breakfast. Everything was going well until I started to eat rocks. Mommy doesn't like it when I eat rocks.

My Second Thrilla in Phoenixvilla

Nothing can keep me away from the annual goat races at Sly Fox Brewery! Last year I was only 3 weeks old, this year it was raining and I had to stay in a plastic bag.

A Dollar

The dollar a man gave to Mommy while we were walking in the rain. He told her to put it in my piggy bank - and she did.

Heat Wave

Hangin' with my crew during the heat wave.

Austin.
Oliver.
Me.

Mommy's Birthday

A quick nap before going out to eat on Mommy's birthday.

Saturday at the Hill

A beautiful day to walk to Iron Hill for lunch.

Where's my food? I want more food!

Daddy stopped the ice cream man on the way home. Yum.

Friday

It was a beautiful evening when Daddy came home from work, so we went to the little park to swing. Daddy used to carry me on his front, but now that I am bigger I go in a backpack.
Here I am clapping my hands because I am happy and I know it! Look at my hair blow in the wind. It is so soft and shiny.

A Present from Auntie Na

Auntie Na sent a present to me in the mail and Mommy let me open it. The paper was tasty. You can clearly see I am not 100%.

Austin and Me

In the morning, Austin and I "shared" the toy I am holding.

In the afternoon, we went to the little park to swing. Austin had a blast. I was preoccupied and not feeling 100%.

Spring Has Sprung

Spring has sprung and I am practicing walking with Mommy and Daddy.

Overdressed and holding a stick.

Walking with Daddy.

Mommy is happy to see me.

I found treasure!

Dandelion...
in the mouth!

Scootering

It was a gorgeous day today, so I went scootering while sporting my new helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Safety is no accident.

My feet can't reach the ground yet while I am sitting on my scooter, so Daddy bowled me down the driveway.

Here I am poppin' a wheelie! (Ok, maybe Daddy is helping, but I pretend he's not).

Low Rider

Low rider makes me shake my booty!

Thai with Oliver

Friday lunch with Oliver at That Thai Place.

Chillin' at the Park with My Crew

Chillin' at the park with my crew, Oliver and Austin. Austin is new to the crew, but Mommy says he is going to be around every Tuesday and Thursday. That's cool, he seems like a nice guy.

In true baby style, we are sitting next to each other while ignoring one another.

Smiling for the Camera

A BIG smile for the camera. I am squinting because I am anticipating the flash. I think that is pretty smart of me - anticipating the flash. The flash wouldn't be such a big deal if Mommy didn't have to be so close to me when she took pictures.

What happens if I push it again?
Where is that groovy music coming from?

Happy Birthday to Me (and Daddy)

My birthday party was a small affair. I invited my friend Oliver over for supper and cake, and he brought his mommy and daddy. Mommy bought a Cookie Monster cake for me.

This is the sample picture Mommy sent to the bakery.
This is what the cake actually looked like.
Fortunately I hadn't seen the sample picture before hand; otherwise I may have been disappointed. I knew the cake resembled Cookie Monster and I wanted to touch it! However, once I did touch it I was grossed-out. It was quite slick and sticky. I didn't even like the taste. Mommy was happy. She doesn't want me to eat stuff like that anyway.

It's My Birthday - and I'm Walking

Here I am doing the Birthday Boogie.

Walking sometimes takes a lot of concentration.

Just checked the wheels and they are ok. I like wheels.

The black on my hands is brake dust. I perform very thorough wheel inspections.


Watch out! I am...

going to...

get you!
