Brushing My Teeth

I love, love, love to brush my teeth. The other day mommy wasn't sure where I was and she went upstairs to find me in the bathroom with my toothbrush and toothpaste brushing my teeth. She said my second cousin Jessie would be so proud!

Gotta keep my beautiful chompers nice and clean!

I have a hard time standing still when I brush. I walk all around the house.

My Friend Matthew

One of my neighbors is named Matthew. He is a little older than me and he's pretty fun to play with. He came over to my house to play with some of my toys, and then we went to his house and he showed me his brand new swing set. Good thing we both know how to share!

Daddy is helping us ride this toy. Mommy brought it back to the toy library today. =(

Hey Matthew, you still over there?

Quack Quack

I love to look outside the window and look for birds. I usually see them before anyone else. Yesterday daddy saw a big one - but it was a duck! So we went outside to see her. She was across the street getting a drink, but while we played outside she came over to my neighbor's house so I could see her close up. I just kept squealing "quack quack" at her, but she didn't quack back. Maybe I wasn't quacking loud enough for her. Oh well, it was fun to see her.

The duck was thirsty and drinking water from the street.

Let's go get her daddy!

Mommy, do you see how close I am to the duck!?! Come here!

OK, well if daddy won't go that close, I will go myself.

Daddy says we have to be careful in case the duck gets mad or is sick.

School's Out Sleepover

Friday night I had a sleepover at my house with Aunt Rissa, Kaden and Mateo. We were celebrating school being out! We did this last year too, and mommy says we might make it a tradition. Except this year we didn't take the tent outside and it didn't blow away like it did last year (mommy and Kaden had to get in the van and chase after it!)

Dance party!

Pillow fight!

Hmmm, things are getting dangerous in here. I better have some protection.

Well, maybe I will join in.

Mommy said it was a lot harder to get a picture of all three of us this year.

We weren't being very cooperative.

Silly faces!

Mommy, we still have silly faces... we just did a better job of sitting still last year!

Food Artist

I got a little bored over tonight's meal of lasagna, so I decided to get a little creative with my food instead of eating it. Don't tell mom and dad but I don't like leftovers!

What?

Just because it's not on my plate doesn't mean I won't eat it.

Geesh people, lay off me! An artist needs his space.

My New Slide

Thanks to Rylee and Carter's mom (well and their dad too!) I have a new slide!! Mommy and I were playing on it today, but good thing it's a big heavy slide or it might have blown away like my hat almost did. I can almost climb up the slide by myself, but for now I still need a little help.

Not quite sure what I do next. Mom, I need some help here. Put the camera down.

Ready, set...

OK, take this one quick so I can GO!

Cooling down with a watermelon snack.

200

Today is the 200th time I've written on my blog. Can you believe it? I know, I know. I've been slipping lately... I'll try to make the next 100 more regular. Mommy is off work for the summer so maybe she can help me. I'm still going to go to daycare a couple days a week though because it's way more fun there and mommy still wants a little vacation. She says it's a "win win" situation. I say it sounds good to me! And aunt Rissa gets the summer off too so I also get to play with her, Kaden and Mateo. But here's what I've been up to lately.

Pushing my baby at grandma and grandpa's.


Grandma and I relaxing with a snack. I'm glad her heart is feeling better.

Me and Mia watching our dads. They put a new countertop in my kitchen!

Here's our bellybuttons!

Remember the toy we got Mateo? It's Kaden's skate ramp too!

Butterfly swinging with Emma and Rissa!

The Outhouse

I have a new hiding spot. Angela has a tupperware cupboard that is perfect for hiding! And perfect for some other things. Last time Angela peeked in there to find me I was grunting and red faced. She showed me I could go on the potty if I wanted, but I think it's more fun to have my private cupboard.

Chase, I need you to move!

OK guys I'm going to shut this door so just leave me alone for a little bit.

Angela told mommy that I sat on the potty for about 45 minutes today. I kept asking Angela to bring me stuff. Hey, a boy needs certain things when he's on the potty!

Emma's Party

So now that Emma is back we needed to have a party to celebrate. Nana called it grillin and chillin. I called it fun!

I got to have a Mr. Freeze! I don't know who he is, but he makes really good treats.

This is what mommy is doing all the time, so we usually don't see pictures of her.

Nana and Papa have a fun arcade game. I'm really good at skeeball. Chuck E Cheese, here I come!

Everyone at the party.

Kaden is teaching me how to jump on the trampoline.

Having that much fun is a lot of work.

Emma's Back!

Guess who is back from England? Yes, my Aunt Emma! I've been hanging out with her for the last few days. She's lots of fun, and it's good to have her back home again. We had a party for her too, but mommy says maybe we can post about that later. Welcome back Emma!

Mom, I kind of wanted some alone time with Emma.

I'm showing her my new dance moves.

And this is the one where I go real low.

Remember when I went on this vacation Emma?

Mmmmm, Emma even shares her ice cream!

OK mom, enough with the pictures!! We're trying to catch up here!
