Riding my trike



A Busy Day in the Life... (5.4.08)

I love to push my car up and down the walkay our backyard. Mommy snapped this pic of me next to the back door.



Here's me trying to sit in my old Bumbo seat.



Mom and Dad bought me a cool new stroller. Check it out, I'm really riding in style now!



We went to one of my favorite parks located right up the road from my house. Here is Daddy and I about to go down the slide.



Me going across the metal rope bridge to get to the slide.



About to go down the slide with Daddy again.



Back in our yard - can you see me?



Throwing my ball. I'm REALLY into throwing things lately.



Running around.



Sandbox time!



Mommy thinks I look really cute from the back in my new shorts that my Great-Aunt Pat and Uncle Jack gave me.



A very short video of me on my horse.

Hee-haw



How do you like my hair?

Tractor & Driving (4.27.08)

Grandma and Grandpa got a tractor! I stayed the night with them and Grandma took me out on a ride. I was so excited. I like the tractor so much that I gave it a kiss when Grandma told me it had to take a nap. The next day, when Mom an Dad came to pick me up, I showed them how it works.



Then they surprised me by getting out the John Deere car Grandma also got. Once Daddy unstrapped my seatbelt and I could reach the pedal, I did pretty good at driving it.



Looks like Dad is giving it the gas in this pic.



Cruising up the driveway.



Finally, here's some video of me driving.

Slide (4.25.08)

On this day, I was walking my soccer ball up the steps, rolling it down, then going down the slide all by myself. That is, until Mom got out her camera. Then I did this:

Me acting helpless drives her crazy, but she always gives in.

We went for a hike at one of our favorite places. Here's me looking at the creek.

We had a picnic next to this creek.



Throwing rocks.





Yup, I manage to throw that giant rock into the water.

Child Labor (4.12.08)

I take TV watching very seriously.



We've had some beautiful weather on and off lately. Time to break out my wagon!



Here I am mowing the lawn. Mom and Dad have put me to work at the tender age of 2.

Mmmm, Dinner (4.11.08)

I love Mexican food.

Night Time (4.8.08)

Two things I like about night time.

1) Playing with my trains.



2) Hanging out with Daddy

A birthday trip (3.31.08)

Mommy skipped work and we took a family trip to the coast on my birthday. I had a lot of fun.

Daddy and I checking out the fine assortment of rocks.



Checking out the waves.





This rock is perfect.





Mom thought I was pooping in this picture, but I wasn't. I was just looking at the rocks. Did I mention I like rocks?



I feel older, do I look it?



Dad gave me a cool stick to throw in the water.





I had a great day!

My 2nd Birthday Party (3.30.08)

The morning of my birthday party, I got up and Daddy had set up a little train track for me to play with. This was the first time I saw my trains! Daddy had set up the table in my room, but hadn't given me the trains yet. Now when Mommy and Daddy want me to go upstairs to get ready for bed, they ask me if I want to go play with my trains. Of course I do! Then they throw me in the tub. I don't know why I fall for it every night.



My birthday party fell during the height of my Cars obsession, so I got a Cars cake from my Grandma. Isn't it cool??



Here it is all lit up. There are three candles on my 2nd birthday cake, because there is a tradition of having one to grow by if that makes sense. Daddy was very confused last year when I had two candles, so I thought I better explain.



Here I am playing with the big Lightening McQueen from the top of my cake. This was right before I started driving it on the frosting road.



These are some of my cousins. Keihin and I are going to be busy protecting them from all the boys out there!



Everyone thought the black frosting was pretty interesting. I thought eating pavement was cool!



I had a really great birthday. Thank you to all that attended and to all that had me in their thoughts. Hopefully Mom gets those thank you cards out soon!

Sleeping on mom (3.29.08)

I fell asleep on Mom and she made such a big deal about it and took tons of pics while I was sleeping. Ever since I gave up my bottle she gets really excited when I do babyish things that I don't normally do anymore...like falling asleep on her. I guess she sat here for two hours while I napped instead of getting the house ready for my birthday party the next day. She says she has to treasure these times, whatever that means!
