Mom showed me the race track that she found on Craig's List for the first time today.  Needless to say, I thought it was pretty great!  Press the play button to see my reaction!

I take my job as Mama's helper very seriously.

Yes, that's a Halloween bucket in February, it is just such a multi-purpose toy that I can't seem to give it up!

Who is that out there?

Jasper!

MOM!!!  Jasper wants in!

Being tall for my age certainly has it advantages.  I can just climb right into my toy box to find the toys I am looking for!

Stats and percentiles from my last check up at the doctor (15 months):

Height = 33" (93%)

Weight = 26 lb, 12 oz (80%)

Head = 19 3/8" (95%)

I loved finger painting for the first time!

I was so into the texture of the paint that I could care less about the design.  I kept asking for more and more paint just so I could squish it!

Painting the table.

Look at me puppy!

Time to clean up! (FYI - it's unbelievable how easy it is to clean up finger paint.  Far easier than cream of wheat!)

Ooooohhhhh....Mom is letting me eat Cream of Wheat.  

I don't get hot cereal all that often because it requires massive clean up.

Can it be used as an exfoliant? 

Painting my cup.

Time to call in the clean up crew.

One man's trash is another man's treasure...

Mom has taken up shopping on Craig's List where local people post things they want to sell.  She sees it as a giant garage sale where you can preview the items online.  Today Mom, Dad and I went to two family's houses to pick up "big kid" toddler toys.  The second house was a gold mind!  Mom had no idea we were going to get so many toys from the lady.  We ended up with 5 garbage bags full of toys plus a bunch of bigger stuff that won't fit into garbage bags!  I doubled my toy collection in one visit!  Unfortunately Mom says that she is going to ration how many new toys I get each week so I don't get bored, overwhelmed, or spoiled.  I don't mind too much though because today I got the talking vacuum cleaner and tomorrow I might get the car race track!

It didn't take me long to figure out how to use my new car for mischief....

February 13, 2009

Happy early Valentine's Day Mom!  I got you the Cozy Coup, my all-time favorite toy.  I can sit in here for a really long time, and that's saying something because I don't sit anywhere for a really long time!  This morning Mom was able to put all the dishes away with out any "help" from me - a small miracle.  Daddy stayed up until 11:00 trying to put the car together so it truly was a labor of love!

February 10, 2009

Yeah, that's right, I'm wearing a necklace and packing tape anklet.....so what?

Mom and I went to the community pool today with our neighbors.  I had a good time, but Mom couldn't really capture it on camera because she always had to have one hand on me.  I have a tendency to run off without looking where I'm going - bad idea in a pool!

Hmmmm....where to run off to next?

While I enjoyed the water slide and pool, I had the most fun playing inside the locker in the locker room!

I LOVE berries (or, as I call them, Bubruries) so much that I try to get every last bite!

Do you think I can stick this whole thing in my mouth?

I'm sure gonna try!

Ohhhhhh......so, so good!

Pure happiness!

Mom has often wondered about what I dream.  Well, this morning I talked in my sleep.  One little word uttered in a completely joyful tone, "Puppy!"  That was it until I woke up.

Later that day, during my entirely too short nap, Mom became suspicious of "Puppy" as he was way too quiet.  She found him in the guest room, where a pillow had fallen to the floor.  He was capitalizing on the situation and completely zonked out, cuddling with his "baby."

People comment all the time about whom I look more like.  Most of the time people think that I look like Mommy.  BUT, take a look at Daddy in this photo.

Now look at me in this photo.  Don't I look so much like him?

And in this photo it doesn't matter who I look like because I am just so darn cute that no one is paying attention to Mom or Dad!
