Just Check Out These Moves!

Well, I have been doing lots of growing since Mommy last wrote in my blog! So I thought I would start by getting your attention with some of my slick moves on the kitchen floor! Yep, getting attention is easy for me to do. I have pretty much mastered the art at a very young age!

Below you'll find some pictures just to catch you up to speed. As for my typical day? Well, I just hang with my brothers and give them a bad time. I currently LOVE watching Imagination Movers and Little Einsteins. I ask to watch it ALL DAY LONG! It drives Mommy nuts (so she says). Some big boy changes I've made are kickin' the pacifier habit and I'm starting to go potty in my potty chair. I still get nervous about it, but if Mommy just put pants on me without a diaper, I am really good at going to my potty on my own. If I remember to dump the bowl and flush it in the real potty, then I get a smiley face on my potty chart. I'm not so sure about the whole poop thing. I've been known to go a couple of times, but it scares me. I typically just hold it all day until mommy puts my diaper on at nap time and then let it loose! Mom says she's onto me and will be coming up with a plan for that as well. She always has a plan!!

Daddy has been taking us for bike rides and I ride in the trailer behind him. I love the view (and the fact that daddy is doing all the work, lol). But if I lose sight of any of my family members I call out to them to make sure they are safe! I always ask to ride down and see the horses. I like to try to talk to them in horse talk. Ask me to show you some day.

I am excellent at dressing myself and getting better at brushing my teeth on my own. And some quirky habits have are: laying on Mommy's bed and reading books while she showers. Continuing to jump up and down in my crib when I wake up (maybe that's from my Jumparoo days as a baby). Making sure my moon is on, my fan is on and my door is open when I go to bed. Grabbing my own breakfast. Pushing my scooter like a lawnmower (while making a mowing sound). And drinking warm milk. I love warm milk. Oh and I love playing in the sink. I can stand there and play with soap and bubbles for an hour straight!

Summer is here and I love playing in the dirt. I've been known to eat a little of it as well. I have a special little spot in the back yard where I love to dig dig dig. Mommy says we'll be getting the pool out pretty soon and I can't wait! I'm bigger this year and ready to splash my brothers!!

Pictures:

March 2008 - I loved being naked in a soft blanket!

May 2008 - A perfect example of having my securities at my side at ALL times. My blanket, juice cup and pacifier always joined me; even during play time.

July 2008 - The way I greet people on the bike trails, lol. I love riding in the trailer behind daddy.

October 2008 - A perfect example of the mischief I can get into while mommy is going potty

December 2008 - I love playing in the cupboards

January 2009 - Chillin' with Daddy at bedtime

April 2009 - I love my new scooter! (and it doubles as a lawn mower too)

It's All in the Details

A few things you may not know about me:

My nostrils are extra small
My favorite breakfast - milk
I have a bald spot that mommy has not photoed yet
My favorite lunch - milk
I laugh at people sometimes when they don't even know I'm looking
I don't really like being on my belly
I'm lactose intolerant so my poor mommy has to drink soy milk in everything
My favorite dinner - milk
I'm a very stiff baby
I love my pacifier
I hate, absolutely HATE baths
I snort a lot
I wear jammies almost everyday
My favorite color is red - well I figured it was since my hair is turning red
I could stare at Parker forever
When I cry, I have very fat tears
I prefer right milk over left milk
I know all my body part because Lance taught me so
Hockey and Dad exercising are equally fun to watch
I don't sleep through the night
I only take catnaps during the day
Guess I'm not much of a sleeper
I probably drool more that you drink in one day
My favorite place to be - laying next to mommy of course!

When I Grow Up I Might Be:

An NHL announcer - My first phrase will probably be a play by play of the game my dad is watching
A politician - Too much debating in this house to not learn the art; as long as I don't have to run against Parker....he is the master!
Dodgeball Champion - Lance is already training my reflexes
A Dairy Farmer - because I milk well, LOL

4 Month Update

Well, Mommy says I'm really starting to change. I am getting stronger and stronger, in body and ATTITUDE. Unlike Mommy's prediction, I rolled over on my own from front to back on February 19th. Thankfully all of my family was home and in the same room to enjoy this momentous achievement. I am really trying hard to roll from my back to tummy, but my dog-gone arm gets in the way just as I'm up on my side. I can't quite get over that hump, but I'm working on it.

I love sitting in my bouncy chair. It's one of my favorite places for a couple of different reasons. I've had it since I've come home and spent many many nights in it ... as that's where I sleep when I get stuffy in my nose ... and I get stuffy a lot. Daddy says I keep him awake with all the noise my nose makes when I sleep. Mommy says she's hoping I'll grow out of it, but if I don't poor Lance will just have to get used to it, since we'll be sharing a room together really soon.

When I sit in my chair, it bounces up and down. Sometimes Parker will bounce me to sleep. Other times Lance bounces me almost right out of it. It's a good thing I have a seat belt in it. I also love to play peek-a-boo; like I'm doing in the picture below. All my family makes me giggle so much when they play this cool game with me.

My bouncy chair also has some a couple of really cool friends to keep me company when everyone else is too busy to play. There is a bumble bee and a raccoon. I have got really good grabbing ahold of the bee's wing and trying to pull him off so I can kiss him. But he's pretty strong. The raccoon makes noise when I shake him...but I like looking at the bee's bright colors the most. Mommy says that for now I am using my right hand more since I reach for the bee the most. Maybe she should put the bee on my left side to see if it's the hand I'm using more..or the bee that I like more. I'll have to remind her to try that next time.

And as for that 'attitude' I mentioned earlier. Well, I've discovered this really cool sound I can make. It's called a SCREEEAM! Mommy kept telling me that I'd have to speak up in this house if I wanted to be heard. But I don't think she anticipated how serious I would take that advice. Because now I can really belt it out...and I pretty much do it all day now. Daddy's skin crawls when I yell, so I pretty much get picked up right away. Mommy seems to let me hurt my throat a little more until she finally responds. Parker tends to help me get mommy's attention by telling her he can't stand it and would she please 'take care of it?'. Lance absolutely hates it, covers his ears and runs into the other room.

I've pretty much become a slobber hound (as mommy calls it). We're not sure if I'm teething or not, but I'm constantly drooling now.

Well, that's about all for now. I'll be going in for another check up this next week to see how much I've grown. I'll update you on that when I find out.
