The Swimming Pool

Mom and Dad took me to the outdoor pool for the first time this year- I loved it! As I've always said- I'm a water baby. I played my little heart out and didn't want to get out of the pool when it was time to go- I was kicking and screaming with purple lips and all, but I wanted to stay:) Enjoy the Pics

WOW!





Drinking the water


And me trying to drink the water....again

Just checking out the view

Omaha

I got to Omaha this weekend to go to the zoo. The road trip wasn't to bad- I got to watch some Handy Manny and take a little nap. Then when we got to the hotel we got to go swimming! I love love love the water. I swam right up until my bedtime and then threw a fit b/c it was time to go to bed. Then next morning I woke up on the wrong side of my pack n play (I was grumpy). I didn't even want to eat breakfast- that says a lot when I turn down food. So I took a little nap and off to the zoo we went. I got to see so many animals- It was cool.
My favs were the tigers (it scared me a little bit, but Dad was holding me so I was ok), and the elephant- she reached her long trunk over near me to pick up a branch to eat- I thought it was cool. As you can imagine Mom took tons of pictures, but b/c I wasn't my happy little self- a lot of them are of the animals. So here's some from the trip- Enjoy!

On the way to Omaha- here's my hair! (I'm learning body parts ok)


I'm so excited to go swimming! Mom loves this pics- look at her boys


I also love to splash (Mom doesn't appreciate when I do it in the tub)


Practicng swimming






Collecting sticks to feed the animals




Moms favorite- The Polar Bear




The Pretty Tiger


She's big! You can kind of see it here, but she only had 3 legs- her left front one is gone


On our way home- practicing body parts again- here's my cheeks

My Pillow and Blanket

Mom has started letting me sleep with a pillow and blanket at naptime and now it has transitioned to bedtime. I don't get to sleep with the pillow the whole night b/c Mom worries to much- she takes it out of my bed before she goes to bed. Anyway I wanted to share some funny/cute pics that Mom has taken of me while I'm enjoying pillow/blanket time.

And she thinks I don't know what to do with a pillow




See I'm getting the hang of it ;)

Little Monkey Bizness

After my shots at the Doctor my legs were pretty sore, so Mom and Dad took me to Little Monkey Bizness. It's pretty much like to big one, just especially for little peeps like me:) Everything was just my size- I had so much fun climbing around and going up and down slides.......hint hint Mom and Dad I thin I need a slide/swingset in the back yard.


Just having fun!


Dad had fun too


I think I climbed up and went down the slide at least 50 times, I really worked out my legs

I'm 18 months

Today I went to the doctor for my 18 month well baby/child visit- I had to get shots...yuck, but I also got to see how big I am. The results are in: I am a whopping 25 pounds which puts me in the 40th percentile (which I don't understand b/c I'm a big boy!) and I'm 34 1/2 inches tall which is over the 95th percentile which sounds right....I get my height from my mom :)
I seem to be developing right according to the doc, except he says I need to work on talking- mom and dad say I talk all the time, but I guess I have to speak english not my own language. Right now the only words that I say without promting are Mom, Daddy, and mmmmm(that's for anything I put in my mouth) :)
I can say Moo, Roar, Quack, and Bye bye when asked too.

Nathan's Bday

It's my Best Buddy's Birthday!! We went to Nathan's house for his 2nd Birthday Party today, it was a lot of fun! We played with all his toys (old and new) and I got to have a chocolate covered marshmellow- yep that's right I got a special sugary treat :). Mom was having fruit dipped into the chocolate fountain so I thought I deserved something- so her and Dad let me have one and it was delicious!


Happy Birthday Nathan! He got a sucker, I got a carrot


Daddy played pretend Kitchen with me- I think I have him wrapped around all my little fingers :) (who would have ever thought Justin Weigel playing pretend kitchen)
Best Daddy Ever!


Nathan was really good at blowing these things


I was not


I got so excited for Nathan to open his presents- I tripped on my own feet and fell and hit the coffee table and got a BIG ouchy- don't worry I was just fine- give me some fake food to play with and I'm all good ;)


And to top it all off Nathan gave me one of the huge balls to take home- it was great!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all those Awesome Mommies out there! So my Mommy loves it when I do new things for her, so for Mother's Day I decided (or it was decided for me) that I was going to be sick and throw up for the first time ever- all just for her- Hope you liked it Mom! So needless to say it didn't make the best Mother's Day, but it will be one she will never forget. And I have plenty more to make up for it. Sorry no pics for this blog ;)
