Coloring

Mommy had some sidewalk chalk so this morning we colored all over daddy's clean patio while he was sleeping. I'm glad we played outside early this morning because it got HOT here today.

Let's color!

"Hey mommy...thanks for putting my name on the patio, now I can't blame it on anyone else."

Maybe daddy will see the I Love You and not get upset.

Who would ever want to wash off this artwork?

My Very Own Chair

I finally have my very own chair. It's GREAT. I can climb in and out of it all by myself.

My "daddy" pose.

Sitting up like a big guy.

My pose for the camera.

OK enough...down to play. I'll be back later.

BOZ, the Green Bear Next Door

What a fun afternoon! I got to meet BOZ the Green Bear Next Door. It was so much fun. He came up to mommy's work so mommy brought me & daddy to see him. I danced and clapped and had so much fun watching BOZ. When we left, he even gave me a CD to listen to.

My Little Gym

Today I finally got mommy & daddy to blow up my baby gym. Nana Jo & Grampa gave it to me for my birthday and I'm just now getting to play in it...what's up with that? It sure was worth the wait. I LOVE it. I didn't like the machine daddy used to blow it up though. (Every time he turned on the air pump, I freaked out.)



I was having so much fun playing, mommy & daddy let me bring my gym inside so I could continue to play while they cooked dinner. You'll see a video of me playing in it inside.

Fun in the Sun

I woke up from my nap this morning and wanted to go play with my toys. Mommy and Daddy had other plans for me. Mommy covered me in some slimy stuff and put my swimsuit on me. We got in the car and went to a cool water park in Carrollton. It was so much fun, we spent our time playing in the rain forest area just for kids. I liked crawling around in the water and daddy liked making me walk through the water that sprayed me.

Mommy and I just had fun soaking in the shallow area, I love swimming with mommy.
Daddy doesn't like to just sit in the water, we had so much fun running through the water fall. I am still getting used to the water going down my face.


After we went swimming we met mommy who was sun tanning and shared a cherry snow cone. Mommy doesn't like snow cones that much but me and daddy loved it. Daddy says there are lots of flavors, but cherry is his favorite. I think cherry is my favorite too, but I haven't had any other flavors. Mommy said we are going to come back here a lot this summer and hopefully bring some of my friends too!!

Me & My Speedo

We went to Nana & Papa's for Memorial Day. It rained most of the time we were there but I did get to hop on the boat once. I fought mommy when she tried to put me in the regular life jackets. She finally decided to give in and put me in the Speedo suit with the floaties in it. I was MUCH happier.

Just chillin' with daddy.

I look buff in this outfit.

It's more fun to help Uncle Marc drive the boat.

I tried to give Uncle Marc directions but he didn't follow my lead.

Papa Look Alike

My Papa is a funny guy. When he has work to do around the house, he always puts on his sweatband. I found his clean sweatband and decided to put it on to be just like him. What do you think?

Playing with Daddy

Day at the Lake

Mommy & Daddy's Sunday School class had a party at the lake. Ms. Brigitte's mom & dad have a great house on the lake that they let us all hang out at. We were there all day. I missed half of the day because I was taking a nap in the closet. Mommy said that she slept in a closet when she was little so it was something I needed to experience once in life. She did say that the closet I was in was A LOT bigger than the closet she slept in. Anyway, I had a great time swimming in a baby pool, crawling all over the grass, and just playing with all of my friends. I can't wait till I'm big enough to play with some of the big boy toys.

I love playing with Emily & Tanner. We all worked on sharing.

Don't I look relaxed? I'm just taking it easy.

Just hanging out in the chair.

Daddy played Woofle Ball with all the other guys. We sat on the steps and cheered.

Ms. Andi let me crawl on the steps. She made sure I didn't fall.

I brought some of my favorite toys with me. I did really good sharing them with my buddies.

Ms. Jenn has always wanted to hold me. She was able to get a quick hug before I darted out of her lap.

Emily likes to love on us babies just like her mommy (Ms. Jenn). Emily kept loving on Aidan but Aidan wasn't too sure he liked it.

Little Baby Band

Today mommy & I went to Ms. Dianna's to play. She has two little kids, Grace & Brady. We had a great time playing in their playroom. They have a lot of musical instruments. We decided to form our very own band. Grace dressed Brady up, Brady took over the guitar, and I handled the drum. We were GOOD. Keep your eyes open, you'll probably see us on the cover of a CD one day.

I Spy Something Green

I spy, with my little eye, something GREEN....Do you spy it?

Tah Dah...it's my hand. I got hold of Kate's markers today at the church and thought it would be fun to color my hand green. Now I can play "I spy" and always have something GREEN to spy!

Climbing

Great Evening

Tonight was a great pre-summer night. Daddy grilled ribs outside, we had a good dinner, and then we walked to the park to play before time for bed. What could be better?

On the Move

Hi

Bubbles

One of my birthday presents was a bubble machine. It was such a pretty day today, that mommy, daddy, & I sat outside and made bubbles after dinner before daddy had to go to work.

Daddy was trying to show me how to make the bubbles start.

I loved watching the bubbles.

How do those bubbles come out of there?

Ha ha ha...I have the bubbles!

My Birthday Party

Today was a busy day. I woke up from a shortened nap to find my house was set up for a party...my 1st Birthday Party. All kinds of fun people came over (including my Nana & Papa and cousin Caleb). We had a great time.

Here's mommy & me by my birthday table.

Mommy made this cake just for my birthday.

I'm not sure why I had to wear this pointy hat but I played along long enough for mommy to snap a picture.

This was my first taste of anything sweet.

It looks like I ate all my cake but I really just smeared it around. One taste and I was done. It was more fun to just play with it.

So many fun new things to play with!

Not only did I have a party, I went to my first baseball game too! I got to see the Rough Riders play!

That's me with Papa, cousin Caleb, & daddy. Us Wall boys really love baseball.
