YMCA Water FUN

Today we went to the YMCA in Spring Valley. They've got a little more than the one in Phoenixville... Sure they've got the standard pool, where I can sit on the edge and jump in like I did in my swim classes...

And then there's this...

The mecca of water shooting everywhere!

I went with my buddy Austin... we like to get in trouble together.

This is just me, wet and having fun!

Wow, all I need now is a brass pole!

I even got Austin to join in!

All that swimming sure makes a fella hungry!

Learning New Words...

I'm starting to get this whole talking thing...

Today Daddy taught me animal names. I don't know what's so funny about the word FOX, but everyone else seems to laugh when I say it. Take a look at the video... maybe I'm mis-pronouncing something?

Adventure Aquarium

Well, this is my third time at the aquarium in Camden NJ. I went once with Mommy and Austin, once with Daddy, and once with Mommy and Daddy. All those times, and this is the ONLY picture anyone took. Sheesh! I saw this thing from a mile away, and there was only one word I could muster... TEEF!

So I guess Mommy and Daddy thought I liked the aquarium, cuz they bought the bestest membership they could... I just hope it doesn't turn out to be the Belle Aisle Aquarium incident all over again. I believe Daddy's words were "not the Belle Aisle Aquarium again?!" after the umteenth time going with Grandpa Dan.

Bunny Towel

In preperation for Easter, Daddy took a shot of me in my Bunny Towel after bath yesterday. At least one of us is photogenic, C'mon Dad step it up will ya!

mmm Broccoli

Just me munchin' on some broccoli down at the local watering hole.

mmm broccoli.

Cooking

Mommy and I decided to have a "lazy" day around the house. Mommy decided that I could have free reign and do whatever I wanted...(that wouldn't result in permanent damage or injury)

So I decided to cook!

I call it floor pie...

Want some?

Me n Austin

Austin and I are sure growing up quickly...

Here's a shot of us racing for pinks... as you can see I got the jump on him here and got to keep my cozy coupe. You can also see mom's new hot rod in the background. I don't remember that big crack in the bumpter when we test drove it?

Here's Austin crusin' for chicks in the "cozy" coupe.

And this is us at the diner (chucky cheese)

after a long afternoon of drinking (milk)

Bad A$$

Yup that's me... Now I know why that was almost my name... Cuz I am.

Like my plastic knuckles for messin' up hippies.

My New Piercing

So... what do you think? Should I do the nose ring thing?

Snow Day #2

Well, it snowed again... A LOT

Daddy plopped me into waist deep snow, and I didn't like it much.

But as you can see, I started to warm up to the idea.

Grandpa Bill says I'm going to be a Janitor because I like brooms, vacuum cleaners, and, in this case, shoveling! Don't worry Daddy... I won't like these things in a few years when I could actually be productive with them!

Grandpa Dan!

Daddy and I went to see Grandpa Dan for Christmas in Canada!
Boy how did Grandpa Dan know that I like little electronic toys!
Hello? Grandpa Dan, this phone doesn't work right!

WOW we're surprised!I think Grandpa Dan was happy to have me here!

New Year!

Well, Instead of Christmas Cards this year, Mommy and Daddy thought we'd be different and send out New Years cards... I think they were just late. Here is the picture they sent out. Aren't Mommy and I cute?!

Nakie time

Sometimes Mommy lets me hang without those pesky diapers. I sure look a lot different nakie than when I was smaller.

Christmas!

Wow Today was Christmas! ... Whatever that is.

Mommy, Daddy, and I all got to be together this year... and some guy stopped by in the middle of the night and hooked up my train table! Mommy said it was Santa, but I think Daddy had something to do with it.

Someone stuffed a bunch of goodies in the socks that Mommy and Daddy hung on the Mantle. It's not every day that I get CANDY!

Here is the cool new train setup that "Santa" left... The only problem is that he screwed it down. I'm not worried though. I didn't have any problem ripping apart the hot glue that he tried last time. I'll find some way to destroy this one!

Well, Sitting on it is having no effect... Yet.

Here is my wonderful family on Christmas morning... Daddy's behind the camera so it's hard to see him. Oh, Daddy says thanks Grandma Dene for his wonderful StarWars blanket!

Snow Day!

Today I got to go outside and play in the snow! Last year it didn't really snow that much and I didn't really know what was going on anyway... I was only 8 months old at the time.

What the heck is this stuff?

It was kinda fun, but I started to get cold!

Always on the lookout for Airplanes... Thumbs up Mr Pilot!

I Am 19 Months Old!

Today is my 19-month birthday. I had my Christmas pictures taken today - trying to get ahead of the rush. I still don't like getting my picture taken, but the lady was able to get a few good shots.
Notice my pants are not rolled-up. Auntie Jessie sent some size 12-month pants to me. She told Mommy I must have at least one pair of pants that fit properly and that too many rolls are dangerous and I might trip over them. Mommy laughed when she saw the 12-month pants. She thought they would never fit, but she was wrong. I have short legs - just like Mommy and Daddy.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! This year I was a spider. I was a spider because it was a costume Grandpa Dan sent to me last year but it was too big - even by Mommy's standards! I have black tights and black shoes to complete the outfit, but Mommy was at work and Daddy was too lazy to help me put them on. (His words, not mine). It was rainy and cold and earlier in the week I was afraid of some kids in costumes, so I watched kids come to the door while I sat in my high chair and drank milk.
This is the pumpkin Daddy carved.This is the picture he used for inspiration.

At the Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch! Actually, it was a gardening store that sold pumpkins, but I think they had a patch in the back.

Picking-out Daddy's pumpkin.

Mommy's perfect pumpkin and my perfect pumpkin. (Get it? I am Mommy's pumpkin).
Daddy and me horsing around.

Walking to the cows at Milky Way Creamery on our search to find even better, bigger and cheaper pumpkins than the ones we bought earlier. Our search was futile, so we ate ice cream.

Wheeee!


Moooooo.

Computing with Grandpa Bill

Grandpa Bill lets me play with his computer and tear-up little pieces of paper. What a swell guy.

Cousins

Today Mommy and Auntie Jessie tried to take a nice picture of me and my cousins in front of Grandma Dene's and Grandpa Bill's neighbor's fall decorations. It was not an easy task.

This is Cousin Jackson keeping me from running away...
This is the best photo Mommy took of the three of us. Even though Cousin Caleb isn't looking directly at the camera, he at least doesn't have his fingers in front of his eyes making binoculars. Poor Cousin Caleb had to go to the emergency room in an ambulance the night this picture was taken because of an awful case of the croup, so I will cut him some slack. It is just wonderful that we could all be together.

Breakfast with My Cousins

This morning at Grandma Dene's and Grandpa Bill's I had breakfast with my cousins.Then we watched TV while Cosuin Jackson tried to keep me out of a box that had small toys that were a choking hazard. (TV watching is SO not something Mommy lets me do at my house).

Photos with Grandpa Dan

Today Grandpa Dan took Mommy and me to Sears for some photos. I was not too happy about it so we didn't have many photos taken, but some turned-out really well - especially the ones with Mommy. I love my mommy - a lot.

Click the photo.

At the Airport

Waiting at the airport to go see Grandpa Dan. I liked to watch the airplanes and the trucks.
