Happy 2nd Birthday, Aiden!

What's a birthday without balloons?!?!?!

Cousin Peter helped me open all of my presents!

The cake was supper "ummy"!

We even got a few rounds of Shofkoff in. What a great birthday!

Cereal

I love my rice cereal, but black bibs don't hide my mess very well.

Time Out

Look what I was doing in time out tonight!

Snow

The first snowfall of the year came a little early this year. I sure didn't mind, but I don't think my lawn mower works very well on snow.

Paint

Aunt Emily came over today and helped decorate my room. My room is so cool, that Aiden likes it better than his room now! Thanks, Emily!

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

I can't believe Mommy gave me my own bowl of hot fudge pudding cake and ice cream....yummm

Naptime

Today was the first time I layed down and took my nap without getting out of bed for Mommy. I'm really starting to get the hang of this bed!

Enjoying the Great Outdoors

Seeing as it just might be the last nice day of the year, we went out and played. I was picking some of the dead flowers and playing "baseball". Parker was also enjoying feeling the wind. We also took a walk around the block. Since Mommy let me walk, the walk took about 30 minutes. It was fun though. We looked at leaves and flowers in everyones yards. I hope there are a few more nice days left this year!

I'm so happy....

that I could squeal! I really like showing how happy I am by squealing. Sometimes, I even squeal for 15 minutes straight!

Naked Time

I enjoy "naked" time every night before bed, but sometimes I want to have "naked" time before then. I still have a little more to learn to get my shirt off by myself, but I'm close!

Pajama Time

Daddy's co-worker made me a boat. It's a lot of fun to play with. I can't wait for bath time!

Parker was so happy tonight since Mommy and Daddy finally fed him - it's only been 4.5 months!

What's for dinner?

I love to be where everyone else is, so I sat in my high chair during dinner.

Little did I know that Mommy was going to feed me some rice cereal. I wasn't so sure about the first bite.

Aiden told me how "ummy" food is, so I kept eating.

I really enjoyed it after that!

It was so "ummy", that I ate all of it. I even started chewing on the spoon because I wanted more. I guess I'm going to start eating dinner with the rest of the family!

Heads Up

Look how high I can lift myself up!

Big Boy Bed

Well, the big boy bed is working out pretty well at bedtime. I only fuss for 20 minutes and then I'm out cold for the night. Nap time is a different story. I fuss, brush my teeth with A&D ointment, play with toys, oh...and take all my clothes out of my dresser. It might be awhile before this bed works well during the day!

Stacking

Perhaps I need to get some real wood blocks for my birthday?

Trouble

Can you see it? We are going to cause a lot of trouble together!

Driving in Circles

We went for a walk tonight and when we got home I decided to play with my car. I really like the furniture being off the patio because now I can do doughnuts!

Go Cardinals!

Football

We love listening to the Iowa State football games on the radio! We can't wait until we are big enough to go to a game with Daddy! Go State!

What a Morning

Parker took a great nap, while I.....

painted, got my hair cut, and took a bath! You can see how much I needed the bath!
