Playdate with Nathan

Today I got to play with my friend Nathan. Really our moms wanted to do a little shopping and in between we got to play. It was alot of fun. Check out the pics and my little video. Mom is so proud that I am very proficient in going down stairs now, but she kept laughing at me when I was going down the slide....you'll see.

Nathan and I at the top of the slide- ready...set...go


Nathan knows how to go down the slide the correct way


I do not.....


Me being cute- as always


So here's my little video of me going down the slide. I thought that you had to turn around and go down them on your tummy too, just like stairs. Mom tried to get me to go down forwards- what was she doing, trying to kill me???



OK- mom had to put this one in- Nathan and Beth check it out!!! Buddy it's us exactly 1 year ago today- can you believe it- Gosh I was much shorter then, had alot less hair, and a double chin- man I'm glad I'm grown up now :)

Paradise Park

Today Mommy took me to Paradise Park- it's a Children's Edutainment Center. It was so much fun- I played my little heart out! First we did "soft play" by playing in the ball pit- it was awesome. It did take me a few minutes to warm up to the idea of jumping into this pit of balls with all these other kids, but I did it and man I loved it- I got right out in the middle so mom couldn't get me :)
Then we did "water play" It was great too- everyone knows how much I love water (not snow people, just water). At first I was being very careful and not getting wet, but then you will see in pics that I had to put on a waterproof apron b/c I was really enjoying playing in the water.
I got to play "dress up" and pretend kitchen- don't worry Daddy, Mom didn't put me in any dresses we just tried on different hats. And I played in a kitchen with wizard of Oz chairs- kind of cool!
Then lastly we headed back to the ball pit for one last dive- hope you enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed playing!


Not gonna lie- a little intimidating at first


Then I decided to just go for it.


Can you see me??


I had so much fun in the ball pit!


I got to play with a train set.


Playing in the water, being very careful.


Not so careful now....note the apron.


By the time we/I was done playing in here- my sleeves, my shoes, and the bottoms of my pant legs were all wet- I'm good at pouring water on myself.


Moving on to the play kitchen area- check out the Wizard of Oz.


I thought maybe I would be a Fireman..........no


An Astronaut.......no


A Construction Worker....ding ding ding- I don't know why, but this was by far my favorite hat!


Happy Day!!

My Hair

Mom was playing with my hair while I was in the bathtub-


Here- she said I look like Spanky from The Little Rascals, but much cuter of course!





Mom also wanted to see what I would look like with pig-tails.....I posed for this pic


Dad was asking me why I was letting mom so this to me????

More......

I finally got it!!! Mom has been trying since I was just 9 months old to get me to do sign language, and now (14 months old) I just got it! My first sign was "more". I was eating, of course, and mom just kept doing the sign for more and everything just clicked and I did it too- she was sooo happy!!! She kept telling me how smart I am- OK we all know how smart I am, but I kept on doing it just b/c it made her so happy. Now I have also learned how to sign "all done"- It is supposed to be done with both hands in the air, but I like to do it with just one. Either way mom know what I mean, she will try to get some pics soon of me showing my skills.

Blowing Kisses

Check me out! I've learned how to blow kisses.

I'm a Weenie

OK I admit it- I am a weenie. What....I'm only 14 months old- I'm allowed to be scared of things, but I guess there just seems to be too many things on my list right now. For one we all know SNOW, second I cry if Mom wears a stocking hat or when she has a towel on her head after she gets out of the shower, third when Daddy wears sunglasses, fourth when I shut myself in a room (which I do alot b/c I love to close doors), and now bubbles (temporarily- see below)


At first I thought Mom was putting me in a tub of snow


I mean really mom- who does this to their own child


Then she got me calmed down and I realized that the white stuff was just bubbles (I just don't usually have this many bubbles in my bath and after the whole snow incident- I was a little scared)


I tried them- they didn't taste that good


Then I played and had a great bath as usual

Trial 2 of snow

Yep it's official- I HATE the snow. Mom took me out to play in it again this morning with great intentions that I would like it, but boy was she wrong. This time she even had gloves for me (instead of mittens) and I put them on inside and I loved them. But when I got outside all was good until I got snow on them. Then the tears started rolling.


All is well, note there is NO snow on my gloves.


Still doing good- also note that my feet haven't moved yet.


Here's where is all began- fell down and got snow on my gloves.


Examining the damage


Mom please get me out of this stuff


Like I said before- I HATE the snow
(hope you enjoyed my suffering)

Happy Sunday

What a busy Sunday we had today. It was time for us to take down our dying Christmas tree and all the other decor as well, and when I say we- I mean Mom and Dad of course.


Just playing in my room- my second favorite thing to do.


Lunchtime- ahhh my favorite thing to do. Don't pay any attention to the food on my face, I like it there.


"Camden is so Big"


Back to a normal living room- no more pine needles everywhere.


Ridin my Horse


Then I thought I would help Mom make dinner, by help I mean pull everything I can out onto the floor so she will trip over it.


Or try to get into the trash when she's not looking.


Or just be at her feet wanting all of her attention.


After my long day- I'm resting on the couch with dad before I have to go to bed.

Happy New Year!!
