Warmer Weather and a New Skill

Ahhhh, it is finally warming up here in Atlanta! So mommy and daddy have been taking me to the park to feed the ducks and play on the playground. It is so much fun that I NEVER want to leave!
I have also been continuing to pee-pee in the potty every night before my baths. I even pooped in the potty last night for the first time! I think it was an accident because I was trying to pee more. I got really freaked out by the poo though and starting yelling "yuk, yuk, no, no, no" and started to cry. Everyone tells me "yuk" when we see Mason's poo outside and that is exactly what was in my potty, scary! ha ha!

I can also take off my own shirt now! I woke up from my nap yesterday with NO shirt on! I didn't sleep as long either because I think I got cold!

Mason and Me....he tolerates me so well

This is how I woke up from my nap....NO SHIRT!
So proud of my new skill!

Swingin at the park

I love slides!

I really love ducks! I would go straight in the water if mommy would just let go of my shirt!

It's Potty Time!

Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since my last blog...but I have been busy learning new things! I started to tell mommy when I have poopy diapers and.....whenever I get into the tub, I love to stand up, look down and pee. So after I did this multiple times, mommy bought me my own potty! This is so much fun! We are not really potty training yet but just introducing it. So, each night before my bath, I get to sit on my potty and pee. Then, mommy and daddy and I cheer a lot afterwards and my potty sings! I do have a bad habit of trying to put my hands in my pee afterwards....I guess it is good that a bath follows!

I have also become quite the little parrot! I copy everything I hear and see. If mommy coughs, I cough. If daddy sneezes, I try to sneeze. I try to say everything now too even if it isn't quite clear yet.

About a month ago, I had to give up my pacifier during the day. It was hard for a few days but now I say "bye bye" to my paci every morning and after naptime. For a few days, I thought it was really funny to go and steal my paci out of my crib but then I gave up.

Here I am on my potty...I brought my bunny for moral support!

Here we go....I look so serious during the act!

This is actually before I went potty. I was ready but still had pants on....

The kitty is still so much fun! He does everything I do!

My turn, can I get a push!

Old Toys, New Toys and A New Friend

I really love "kitties" (that is what I call them now)! One day mommy is going to get me a real kitty but for now I have what I think is a real kitty....My Fur Real Friend! This Kitty meows, licks his paws, rolls onto his back, purs and opens and closes his mouth and eyes. It all happens with sensors that are throughout his body. He is also the same size and weight as a real kitty. I LOVE THIS KITTY! Mommy thought that I would enjoy this for a few days and then forget about him but this has NOT happened. I carry my kitty upstairs, downstairs and everywhere I go. He has been in my tent, in my shopping cart, on the couch.....I love to brush him and try to feed him some of Mason's food, ha ha! The first thing I ask for now when I wake up is "kitty"!

We even put a diaper on the kitty!

Old Toys.....We were in the basement and I discovered this great toy that they have been hiding from me! It was put away since I am so big now but I demanded to get in and had a great time! Mommy had to raise the legs all the way up and it was still not really high enough....

"Hot Dog"...one of my many words now

I am enjoying riding my Power Wheels around the house...

....even though the doors and walls are taking a beating....I just don't quite know how to steer yet! Fun times!

Snow and New Tricks

We got around 5 inches of snow this week! It was powdery on the bottom and then had a layer of ice on the top. So, mommy set me down and I was able to stand on top of the snow for a few minutes and then my feet dropped through the ice.....it scared me for a second but then I was okay. I can now say "snow"!

Other tricks....I can now open the gates on the stairs by pulling them really hard...good thing I know how to get up and down safely now anyway. I can also open doors now and I have really enjoyed this new trick.
My picky eating habits are getting better....I ate some chicken chili yesterday and really enjoyed it.
I can now tell you which ball is a basketball, football, soccer ball or golf ball. I am working on colors but I don't quite have them down yet. I can now say Mason's name but it sounds like "Manon". Other words I like to say.....golf ball (I have a red one that I love), Mason, snow, eat, spoon, fork, hot dog, bubble, ice, thank you, please, hat, night-night, and may others that I can't think of right now. I can repeat about anything or try to at least. And I am a little mimic on actions....so I pretend to sneeze when the dog does, cough when mommy and daddy do, and about any other sound that happens...I will try to do it!

See how deep my feet are in the snow, wow!
It is really cold out here!

Welcome to the Big Boy Table

I am now sitting at the big boy table and eating with real utensils! It is so much fun eating yogurt with a spoon all by myself and picking up my fruit with a fork. I do make a mess sometimes but I am getting better at it everyday.

I am also starting to talk a lot more now. And it is getting more clear each day. My other skill I am mastering is how to pee when I want to! As soon as I get in the bathtub now, I stand up, look down and pee....and then laugh hysterically. It is such a cool trick.

Check out my new ride from my grandpa Jimmy for Christmas! It is a fire truck!

Me as an Elf

Christmas 2010

Christmas was a ton of fun! I got a whole lot of toys and now my living room looks like Toys R Us....it is great! First, mommy took me up to my grandma CeeCee and grandpa BeeBee's house for one night so I could open my gifts. We then went down to my grandma cindy's house for Christmas. Here are some pictures from the past week....
