It's fun to climb up on his lap

Santa's Lap

I like to visit Santa Claus When Christmastime is near. It's fun to climb up on his lap And whisper in his ear.

He says, "My dear, have you been good? Have you done what Mother said you should? Do you brush your teeth and hair each day? Are you kind to others when you play?

I listen to each question And answer every one. Although I am ashamed to say I must say no to some.
But Santa never scares me; He doesn't even scold. He just says, "Try again, my dear, You're a fine lad, I am told."

Gee, I like to visit Santa Claus When Christmastime is near. It's fun to climb up on his lap And whisper in his ear...

Look! Look! Look!

It snowed for the first time this year and I got to out and play in it with daddy! Here's how my day went....

What is this stuff? Could it be? Look mommy, SNOW!

Ok I've got my sled...I'm ready. Here daddy you take it outside for me

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oops! I gotta eat some snow before my next trip down the hill!

More pictures to come since it snowed even more last night!

50 cents of fun!

I have discovered these cool toys at the mall. Mommy puts money in them and I get to pretend I'm in a car, spaceship, trolley, train or helicopter. I love to ride in them and I get very upset if mommy walks past them without letting me get out and ride on one or two or all of them! Mommy thinks she is being sneaky by only letting me ride in one but I have to sit in all of them anyways.

My favorite is the train but it wasn't working. Here's me in the spaceship and in the trolley.

Brush Brush Brush your teeth

Mommy and Daddy took me to the dentist for the first time last week. Even though I wouldn't let Dr. Wood count my teeth, I did go for a ride in the chair with mommy. Dr. Wood said to keep brushing my teeth, so here's some pictures of me doing just that!

Meghan's birthday party

The Birthday Girl

Me eating cake (yes I do have a bicycle helmet on! Eating cake can be
dangerous stuff!)

Ernie eating cake

My friend Ernie's sister turned one this week and we went to her birthday party. Ernie has some really neat toys especially all his TRAINS!! I had fun playing with them even though we didn't share them very well all the time. Sometimes I wish I had more words so I could have told everyone how I felt, but since I don't know the words yet, I sometimes pushed and hit Ernie instead. I hope he knows that I was sorry and I hope that we get to play together again soon!

A few pictures from Thanksgiving

I am not happy being a reindeer!

Finally some updates October-November

Sorry I don't have any new pictures to share though...Now that mommy has the new camera she FORGETS to take pictures of me (but don't worry, she doesn't take many of my sister either so I don't feel left out) and the pictures she took using the old memory card won't download so mommy doesn't have any halloween pictures of me trick or treating. :(

It's been a busy time for me. Since my last real update was in October, I have so much to tell you. Halloween was a busy day for me! After we took daddy to work, we went to storytime at Barnes and Noble where I got to eat a snack, listen to Miss Christine read me a halloween story AND go trick or treating around the store. Then we met mommy's friend Mandy for lunch since she hadn't seen me since I was only just 1. When we got home, mommy tried to lay me down for a nap but I had other ideas! There were so many things to do why would I want to take a nap?? After Clare woke from her nap mommy dressed us up in our costumes and took us to the library to see daddy and his coworkers. Marc and his mommy was there too! I made sure everyone saw me and Clare. People said we were the cutest pirate and cow that they had ever seen. Then mommy, daddy, Clare, Mike, Cheryl, Marc and I all went to dinner. I was pretty cranky until I heard mommy and daddy mention treat or treating. What's that? Candy you say? I get candy. Oh I need to be on my best behavior! After dinner, mommy, daddy, Clare and I went into the mall where I had my first trick or treating experience. I didn't say trick or treat but I did make sure to tell everyone thank you (sank you) for all the yummy candy. After the mall, we went to Grandma's house and while mommy fed Clare, daddy took me over to see his old neighbors. I got to play a little bit with their puppy too. When we finally left grandma's I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car BUT don't worry I woke up to watch BLUE'S CLUES when we got home. It was a long day but it was so much fun! I can't wait to do it again and maybe next year mommy and daddy will let ME eat some of the candy instead of taking it to work and hiding it.

November has also been busy busy. Mommy went back to work per diem so daddy has to get Clare and I ready for bed and in bed while mommy's gone. Most of the time he does a really good job but sometimes I have to give him a hard time and make it difficult for him. But he STILL manages to get me into bed on time. I don't know HOW he does it! Mommy, Clare and I have also been going to story time 2x a week. Most of the time I sit and listen to the story but occasionally I like to get up and go explore instead. I also have been practicing going on the potty. Some days I really want to try and other days I want nothing to do with that silly potty chair. It's much more fun to put the lid down and climb on in then to sit on it. One scary thing that happened was that mommy thought I had sprained my wrist. You see we went shopping and I decided to help mommy push Clare in the cart instead of sitting in it and mommy was holding my other hand and I went one way and mommy went the other and then my elbow started to hurt really bad but I didn't know how to tell mommy so I just decided to cry and not use it. Well of course that really worried mommy and when we got home, mommy called Dr. Rezabek. While she was waiting for the nurse to call back she put some ice on my wrist and rubbed my elbow. That made it feel a lot better! By the time the nurse called mommy back, I was using my arm like nothing had happened. It turned out that I had something called nursemaids elbow. I hope I don't get that again because it hurt!
Thanksgiving was so much fun! After mommy, daddy, Clare, grandma and I went to church we came home for a few little snacks and a nap before taking the trek to my great aunt's house. Mommy filled my plate with lots of yummy food but all I really wanted was the macaroni and cheese. I even got to sit at the kiddy table to eat. I had so much fun playing with all my cousins and seeing everyone! Mommy and Daddy say that Thanksgiving is a time to say thank you for everything I have so here's my list of things I am thankful for:

• Mommy and Daddy and Clare
  
• Grandma
• All my family
  
• my house
• my food
• my toys
• and everything else that I can't remember
  

Today Miss Amy, my Parents as Teachers educator came to see me. For the first time ever, I wasn't sure what to think of her. She wanted me to do a bunch of things but I wanted to be close to mommy. I would do things for mommy but not for Miss Amy. Miss Amy tried to do the Ages and Stages Questionnaire but at the beginning I didn't want to cooperate to much until she showed me her blocks and all her cool toys. Then I had no problems playing but after a little while I was ready for Miss Amy to leave and I made sure she knew that! I heard Mommy and Daddy and Miss Amy talking about the terrible twos. I don't know what's so terrible about them, so far they seem pretty fun to me! ;)

Well I think that's about it. I promise I will try to post more frequently and definitely upload some pictures soon!

Just a few teasers...

Just in time for the holidays...

Clare's will be updated with some more pictures soon as well!

Updates coming

I've been busy but I will post updates soon!

Boo!

On Saturday mommy,Clare and I met my friend Marc and his mommy at the zoo for Boo at the Zoo. We got there when the zoo opened but there were so many people there already! Instead of going trick or treating in the zoo, we (ok the mommies) decided to take us to the Children's zoo where we got to see frogs, birds, rabbits and GOATS. After Marc,Clare and I (mostly I) played with the goats, we went to ride on the ZooLine Railroad. I love riding on trains and waving to people. When we got off the train, we went and made Clare a hippo named Bella and had some lunch. Then if that wasn't enough excitement,we went to Borders for storytime and to go trick or treating throughout the store. I wasn't too interested in the candy, but I did want the crayons! Then after Borders, we went to see daddy at work and show off Clare and my costumes to all of daddy's co workers. They all agreed that I made a very cute pirate and that Clare was a very cute COW.

What a busy day for a little boy who didn't take a nap!

TV star

Yep that's me! They featured my pirate picture on Show Me St. Louis today.

If you live in or around St. Louis you can see me Friday, the 26th at 10:30am.

Play DOH

Mommy let me get the play doh out the other day. I had fun with it and even more fun getting it EVERYWHERE!!!

Yes it's another Park!

This time I'm at Sylvan Springs Park. I've been there before but since it is so close to home, it's fun to go to! (I had more pictures, but the memory card ate them :( )

Just for fun

Love my hat?

What? I don't want my picture taken anymore!!!

Ok FINE. Take one!

It's who? I'll talk to daddy but I need a drink it might be awhile!

Another park!

This time mommy took me Crestwood Park. I had so much fun swinging. I really wanted to play on the playground but it rained the night before and everything was WET and mommy wouldn't let me. I definitely let her know that I was NOT happy about not being able to go on the playground all the way home!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

In case mommy wasn't sure, here I am pointing out where I really want to go!

Arrrrrrrrrggggg

Mommy, Daddy, Clare and I all met my playgroup at Rombach's Pumpkin Patch on the 14th. Can you believe that it was 80 degrees!! I was HOT as a pirate so mommy made sure to get some pictures of me before she took off most of my costume. I had so much fun looking at the pumpkins, riding the pony, seeing all the farm animals and riding in the barrel train (all by myself!)


Me and the pumpkins...notice my friend Rosie in the background? She's Little Red Riding Hood!


It's HOT!

And we're off!

Gotta look at all the animals!
