I'm back!

Hello everyone!

I miss blogging, so Mommy and I decided I could blog on my own page again :)  Yipee!!  I am going to try to catch up from where I left off in January, but in the meantime I will also keep current and so... I am going to recap my week for you. :)

Today, I went to Northwest Aerials for my Wiggle Worms class.  I have been three times now and I love it there.  My favorite part is the big long trampoline.  This was the first class I felt comfortable going to my teacher to tell her about the stuff I practiced, like jumping and spinning, jumping and opening and closing my legs... I am also really good at somersaults now!  I like to hang from the rings and walk on the balance beam (although I am afraid to cross it without holding Mommy's hand still).  All in all, my favorite part is jumping.  Lots of jumping as high as I can!

Yesterday we went to OO Denny Park and kicked around a soccer ball for a bit and threw a frisbee, too. I really love soccer and Frisbee (even though Mommy says I through leftie, even though I am a rightie).  I am getting good at kicking the soccer ball back to mommy while it is still moving, too, and love to try to kick the ball between Mommy's legs and have her do the same.  After the park we went out to eat at Plaza Garcia (Daddy was a Matt's house) and I had a cheese and chicken quesadilla.  I like to say "Quesadilla".  It's a fun word!  I got to sit on a booster seat, too, which means I am a big boy.  One of my favorite parts at the restaurant?  Getting to push down the little bubble bumps on the lid to my cup!  I love those.

Also, I at day care I told Gabrielle when I had to go pee pee.  Mommy was so proud of me she created a new sticker chart.  Now I get to earn stickers for not sucking my fingers and for going pee pee on the potty (and for not swallowing my toothpaste... I really like to swallow my toothpaste but Mommy says I can't.  She's pretty adamant about it, too.  I keep forgetting!)  So after 20 stickers I get a new car!  AND if I go poo poo on the potty, I get a new car right away!  I LOVE CARS!

On Sunday I started off my day at my first race ever!!  I was really excited to stand with all the other kids at the starting line, but when they did the count down and all the kids took off running, I wasn't sure what to think!  So I cried for a second but then Grandma was there and told me to chase her, so I did!  We ran the 1/4 mile together.  I didn't even cut corners like the other kids my age, I ran the whole way (with Grandma). At the finish line, there were so many people cheering for me (I was the last one done) but they kinda scared me... so I stopped running.  But then someone came over and gave me a Sticker and told me a did a good job!  I was proud!  Mommy and Grandma were proud too, at least that's what the kept saying over and over again.  After my race was all done, the big people started their race.  I wanted a turn to run through their starting line after they were all gone and then we went to a spot on the route to cheer on the runners.  We clapped for them and told them "Good Job".  There were lots of people running.  Some of them even dressed up like pirates.  And I made some of them run, or clap like me and one girl even tried to give me a High 5!  That was fun!

Me at the start of the race, really excited.

My sticker for running the race.

Running across the big start line!

Cheering for all the runners.

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday afternoon Mommy, Grandma and I went to Golden Gardens Beach and Gas Works Park in Seattle.  I had never been to this beach before and I loved it!  I got to take my socks and shoes off and play in the sand.  I collected "treasures" (shells) in my bucket, played on the new playground, watched the sailboats
 ... and helped bury this stranger.  Her friend borrowed my bucket to bury her, and I wanted to help!
 At Gas Works Park I was very excited to see the Space Needle.  I LOVE the Space Needle and am always looking around for it.  There it is, behind me!  And yes, I like to eat apples!
 Here I am kicking a soccer ball up the hill.
 I took this picture of the park:

The Tulip Festival

On Saturday Grandma, Mommy and I went to the Mount Vernon Tulip Festival.  
I had fun running through the daffodil fields and bouncing on the spongy dried up mud road!

I also had lots of fun taking lots of my own pictures of the flowers!  That's my shadow.
 We stopped at Roozengaarde and I ran and ran and ran around!  After 3 hours in the car, I was going crazy and reeeeally needed to get out some energy!

There were so many pretty tulips.



I liked climbing on this froggy, here I am pretending to be a frog.
 More running around and around and around!  I had SO much fun at the gardens!



 I even got to practice my balancing on the logs in front of the big windmill...

More of January

With all the snow, there were a few days when we were house bound, so Mommy put together a basket of fun games and activities we could play inside.

My mommy's friend Sam came to visit and we went to a park and walked around in the snow.


We even found another geocache!

These rocks are super cool, dont you think?!
 Later in January we went to Oscar's first birthday.  I got to help Oscar open his presents!

We went to my friend Daxon's bday party, too and I got this pirate eye patch!

 Meanwhile in January, my platelets were low so we went to the doctor a few times and they took my blood.  Mommy says I was very brave each time we went.  After a few weeks, my platelets were back up to normal.  :)

January 2012

I miss writing my own blog, so I am back!

I am going to try to catch up where I left off and see how that goes :)

Here we are at the beginning of January when my mommy was just 17 weeks pregnant.  
 Mommy, Grandma, Gruncle Dean and I went geocaching in January too.  I loved looking for treasures out in the wild.  How fun!


Giant tractor tire in Marymor Park.  I love tractors!
 Another day Mommy, Grandma and I went to Discovery Park and checked out the lighthouse.

 I did one of my favorite things, throw rocks into water!!
 And we found another geocache!
 Mid January is snowed!  We were so excited.  This is our condo front door, with snow!
 Daddy, Mommy and I tried to stay home or walk wherever we needed to go. So we walked to Juanita Bay Park to go sledding!


Weeeeeee!
 We did everything I could think of in the snow, sledding, snow balls, snow angels, snowmen...

Hoooo raaaay!!




 I really loved the snow!
 It snowed while we were there, too.  I tried to catch some snowflakes on my tongue, of course!
 We went out on another day too and Mommy got this great action shot... yup, I just hit Daddy in the face with a snowball!  He he heee.
