A few phrases

Mommy & Daddy really like that I'm talking.....

I'll talk in full sentences, a bit chopped up, but full sentences.

Two "words" I want to take note of, as the parents really think it is cute when I say them:
- Cars (caaaaars), with a nice inflection and partial smile
- Something Yummy (sumpin yu-mee), 4 distinct sylables

Oh, and if you don't know, Finn McMissile and Cars 2 - - - my favourites!

Love you!

Summertime Fun

Hello Friends -
Sorry I've been remiss on updating the blog, but having a little brother takes up quite a bit of my time.  But, I have 26 new and fun pictures to share with you today.

First, the vitals:
Dr. Howie was quite impressed with me at my 2 1/2 year check-up.  All is looking good.
I'm 34 1/4 inches tall, 25 lbs. 4 oz., and my head is 18 3/4 round.  All-in-all, I'm back on the charts, coming in around the 5th and 10th percentiles.

I'm speaking in sentences (somewhat), I dream about cars, I play with cars, and I'm totally stoked to be starting pre-school in a month.  I'm still precocious, I listen when I want to, but I love mommy and daddy and spencer and GG and Grammy and T and BB......

Daddy took me to a Dodgers v. Phillies baseball game.  My first one.  I liked the ice cream and carrying the beach chairs back to the car.  Not really sure who won (editor's note: Phillies).

I've learned that it is OK to fall asleep in the car (mommy seems very happy about it)

I went up and down steps by myself at Ella's house

Two cute new phrases:
"Something Yummy" (any good food in my tummy)
"Eat Mulch" (at bottom of the big sliding board)

Ooh, yesterday we went to the beach.......I liked the ocean better.
Ooh, yesterday we went swimming at Grammy and T's......I liked watching daddy swim under water.
Ooh, mommy has a new manager.....she seems very excited.


Here's the good stuff:

 Cuteness Magoo

Under Ella's Playgym.  When Daddy asked me about my favourite part of the vacation to Washington State, I said "scooping and loading."  Here's where I did it.

 Ella fed me pouches.  I taught her to pee in the potty.

 Aunt Michelle watching me make sure this is nice and level.

 The "kids"  Aunt Meghan, me, Emma, and Ella.

 OK, this must have been my 2nd favourite thing.  I loved driving around the patio.
