Happy Thanksgiving

It was a turkey weekend at our house. Mommy made a big big turkey with all the fixins...She cooked for hours and we had a good dinner. She also made mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potato, stuffing, cornbread, and crab stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. Lindsay and Jenna and Uncle Chris and Auntie Susan (she brought the veggies and pumpkin pie and cookies!) came over and we played and ate and played and ate. Yummo!

I'm starting to eat more these days. Maybe I'm going through a growth spurt. We'll see how long this lasts. I can say a lot of things now, and I make up my own sentences. Oh, and I love to sing. My favorite song now is Bob the Builder. And Happy Birthday to you....which is perfect timing because I'll be two in 9 days! Wowzas!

We decorated our Christmas tree this weekend too. It was a busy weekend...but it's not over yet...there's more to come...

I did it, I got it

Now, instead of "did it self", I will say, "I did it" or "I got it" or sometimes "I did it self". And I can make 3-4 word phrases/sentences. Woweee. I LOVE to watch tv, and I ask Mommy or Daddy for it all the time. They don't let me watch it all the time though. Boohoo. My favorite shows are Dora and Bob the Builder. I love singing the Bob the Builder song. Dora is fun because she's got fun songs to sing along with and I like to "interact" with her too.

These days, I'm getting better at participating at Gymboree. Now I actually do stuff with the rest of the class...maybe 3 out of the 5 activities. But, I still get the heebeegeebees from that parachute. Yup, even the bubbles cannot tempt me to touch that parachute! Mostly, I love climbing and sliding and playing with all those bouncy balls. Yay.

Who dat?

My new catch phrase is...."who dat?" It means what is that or who is that? My newest more challenging word is helicopter, but for me, it's more like hedidotder. Lots of times, I want Mommy to acknowledge that I'm saying new things and if she doesn't repeat what I said right away, then I yell... MOMMY!!!!

These days, I'm a terrible eater. I scream for things I want. Mommy and Daddy don't like to take me out to eat anymore. I'm loud. And I don't eat either. Maybe I'll have those fabulous Holiday grapes. Otherwise, I'm doing well. I had a bit of a runny nose last week, but it was short and I'm all better now.

Ouch!

Check out what happened when the elastic on my fireman hat accidentally snapped back on me...don't worry, that elastic is long gone now! Ouchie me!






Here I am doing it myself...I insist on doing it myself, and then say with bravado...."did it sef!"

Enjoying a good ear cleaning

Mommy says my ears are super clogged up....so lately, I've been enjoying getting my ears cleaned. Mommy will ask, "Do you want Mommy to clean your ears?" And I'll head straight for the couch and lie down. Then, when Mommy is scratching in my ears, I'll lie perfectly still...and say, "more pease". I absolutely love it. Yeah, you've never seen me so still. Not a twitch or anything. :)

More "did it self"

That is my favorite saying. Everytime I do something by myself, I say, "Did it sef". Yup. And I like to do a lot of things by myself. :) I'm a big boy. (okay, so I still sleep with a binky)

Today, I figured out how to kick the soccer ball. I say, "tick socter ball" and kick it...balancing on one foot. How amazing is that? I learn A LOT watching Cameron at his sports class. Also, when I say things that I really want Mommy to hear, I'll repeat it and repeat it until Mommy repeats it. I'm really good at making 3 word sentences now too. I copy everything now. Another favorite saying is "Oh Noooooo". Love it.
