Today, it is a beautiful day outside. Mommy waited forever to put me in this outfit thinking it would fit better. Unfortunately, the capri pants are still falling off of me. Notice all of the bags of clothing on the chair? It’s stuff Mommy has bought for the sprout. She needs to go through it all and make a list (spreadsheet) of what she has (in which sizes) so she knows what she will need yet for him. I don’t think she’ll get to it today though, it’s waaaay too nice outside.
It’s spring break from classes this week so I met a bunch of my friends at the park for some playtime. It was a pretty nice day outside, so I got to break out my spring/fall jacket.
Here’s a picture of me in our new van. When I first saw it this morning I said, “It’s a new car. It’s really big!” So far, I really enjoy riding in it. It sits up a bit higher than the car so I can really see out of the windows now.
Here’s a fun picture of Daddy bench pressing me. I don’t know why he did it, but it was a lot of fun.
Later, we washed Daddy’s new (old) car. He was excited to have his car returned to him.
Washing a car is hard work!
Today, we visited Grandma Georgie. We had lunch together and I got my Easter gifts. I also had a fun time playing with her various stuffed toys.
Here I am with my Daddy’s kitty: Fluffito B. He’s 17 years old and lives in Duluth. He let me pet him (even the wrong way.) I liked him. I was sad when he declared that he had enough and went upstairs. I told him to, “come back kitty!”
Then, later that night we had a real feast at the Texas Roadhouse in celebration of Daddy’s birthday. Dinner was a blast and was delicious to boot. Here I am with my Auntie Tiffany and Uncle Ryan. I like to call her Auntie Tiffers and she lets me get away with it. Hehehehe! Mommy tried to get a picture of me with Grandpa Bob & Grandma Helen but I was uncooperative.
After dinner, we mentioned to our server that we were celebrating Daddy’s birthday and they brought out the saddle and everyone yelled and whooped and made him ride it. They rewarded him with an ice cream sundae which I taxed heavily. It was yummy!
What a fun trip to Duluth!
Today was another exciting day for us. We started out by making a trip down to canal park. I got to play in the toy store for like an hour while Mommy, Daddy, Grandma & Grandpa looked around and checked out what I liked. I ended up with a few goodies, all birthday gifts!!
After some lunch, Mommy, Grandma Pat and I made a trip up to the mall. Mommy wanted to go to Gymboree and check out an outfit for me. She ended up leaving with a few things for the sprout (and so did Grandma Pat.) I’m very excited for my little brother and sure do hope he likes pirates and ships like Daddy does.
Here’s a picture of Grandma Pat teaching me how to throw a coin and make a wish. I liked the water, but was bummed that their mall didn’t have a play area for little ones like me.
Later that night, we made a trip to see my Godfather Ryan’s new house. I got to play the drums and hear my voice on the microphone. Be sure to check out the video for my awesome reaction to having my voice altered.
That night for dinner, we went to Mommy & Daddy’s favorite restaurant in the town that they used to live in: Mexico Lindo. It was delicious and we had a lot of fun. Here I am having a little jousting fun with Ryan’s Dad, Ron. I was excited that Ryan’s parents were able to join us as I really like them (and I think they like me too!)
We had a fun day today. At lunch we met Auntie Tiffany and her sister-in-law and nieces at McDonalds for some playtime. It took me awhile but I finally climbed up the play area and went down the slide. Luckily, Daddy was willing to trek up there with me.
After lunch, Mommy & Daddy went to check out some vehicles and I decorated Easter cookies with Grandma Pat & Grandpa John. I had so much fun doing this. It was hard work spreading the frosting out, but the reward sure was sweet!
My tongue is out, so you can tell it’s really hard work and that I’m concentrating quite hard.
The frosting sure was yummy!
I didn’t like holding on to the cookie while I frosted it, so Grandpa John helped me hold it in place.
Sprinkles are the best!
After the cookies, it was time for some bird watching.
Then, we looked at photo albums of me (one of my favorite activities) and made silly faces.
Finally, we ended the day with a little dress up. Mommy’s shoes sure were fun.
Well, we made it to Duluth. It took a long time. Mommy & Daddy stopped at a car dealership in the cities to check out a new van on the way up. I slept through it until a semi truck that was exiting the freeway got cut off in front of the dealership and made his anger known by blasting his horn and waking me from my sound slumber. I was less than happy after that and they had to cut the test drive of the vehicle out. Bummer too, because it seemed just right for them (so they say!)
Here’s a picture of Mommy and I after my bath time and a long day in the car. Mommy was ready for bed! She’s also hiding her baby belly pretty well in this picture. She promises to take a belly picture sometime next week for everyone that is asking about it. Yes, it’s big, just cleverly hidden in this picture.
Here I am giving my teddy bear some food. He was very hungry! Don’t worry, I made sure that he said, “Thank you!”
I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your favorite cake! Sorry that we ran out of pineapple rings when making it. I’m sure it will taste just as good as if we had the extra two rings. I love you!
Today, my dance class performed one of our recital pieces at an assisted living complex. Not all of our class was able to make it, but the 4 of us who did really rocked it. Mommy and GaGa were soooo impressed with our dance. They thought we did such a great job! Here are a couple of pictures of me.
Mommy isn’t quite sure what I’m doing with my hands in the second picture, but thought it was cute all the same.
Mommy also needs to find me some better fitting tights. These are supposed to fit 1-3 in toddler but they’re huge!!
Today, I made a trip to the Amazing Castle exhibit at our Children’s museum. They had a little dollhouse built into the wall and it was very cool. I also got to see Elliot, Mary, Anna & Kyle since they were in town. Mommy was expecting some big hug-filled reunion with Elliot since it’s all I had been talking about all week, but it didn’t happen. Turns out, Elliot had been talking about playing with me all week too, but no big reunion took place.
Here I am playing with Baby Mary, who isn’t quite a baby anymore.
I also got to water the garden. Yum yum, carrots!
