A little bit of everything...

Gramps was in town last week!  He lives in Reno, Nevada, but he came to visit with us and to see Wren for the first time.  He had met me 3 times before, but this is the first time we were able to play together!  Everyone thought I might be shy around him at first, but they were wrong.  I took him by the hand and led him into my toy room soon after he arrived! :)
(Daddy took pictures of us together on his phone.  I will have him post them later!)


I'm still busy perfecting my ipad skills!  I'm now able to lay down and hold it using only my feet!  Mommy couldn't find her camera earlier to take a picture of it, but she will try to take one later.  It's pretty awesome!! :D  (And no... Mommy and Daddy aren't THRILLED with all my ipad usage... but hey!  It's so FUN!!)

Chelsea is still coming over once a week to play with me!  I've mustered up the ability to say "Whee."  I know... "GO ME!" ;)  She is planning to make picture cards for me to hold up when I want something... instead of me whining for it. 

So... I guess I love my baby sister.  She is always fussy and steals Mommy away from me, but she is pretty cute!  Yesterday, Mommy caught me smiling at her twice... she wasn't supposed to see, but Mommy notices everything!!

Last weekend we found out that Auntie Erica and Jamie are going to have a baby girl.  I don't know how I feel about the news... Auntie Erica and I were hoping for a boy for me to grow up with... but I guess Daddy had to grow up with a bunch of girls and he turned out fine, so I guess I will just be like Daddy!  Mommy and Nana are excited that they were right.  Mommy looks forward to Wren and Kinley growing up together.  I'm glad Wren will have someone to play with, so she doesn't play with me and my big boy toys! :D

Nana's birthday was yesterday, and we had a surprise party for her on Friday night.  She was surprised... if just a little... :)

Happy Birthday, Nana!  Love you!


Mommy just bought a couple of things for my birthday party, yesterday!  I can't wait to turn 2! :D

Two new women in my life!

It's been almost a month since my last post... sorry about that, but we were so busy last month, with Wren's arrival and all.  It took some adjusting, but I have grown to love my baby sister in the last couple of weeks.  She is pretty and tiny... and I especially love her pacifers!  Hers are different than mine... I think mama needs to buy me some like those!!! ;)
Lately, I have been perfecting my navigation skills on the ipad!  I now only need help from Mommy and Daddy when turning it on!!  Which allows me more freedom and Mommy and Daddy get a little time to do the things they want/need to do.  I could play on my ipad all day if they would let me, but sadly they only let me play for a little at a time... :/
I actually have TWO new women in my life!  Over the last couple of weeks I have begun speech therapy with my teacher, Chelsea!  She comes to my house to play with me... working on sounds, using "modeling" techniques, to hopefully get me repeating soon.  If only I could tell everyone what I'm up to... Hehe!  But... I just love Chelsea!!  She is really sweet to me, like Mommy, and is really fun to play with, like Daddy!  With those great qualities, it's impossible not to love her!! :)  When she leaves, I always give her a hug, but yesterday... I insisted on a kiss! (She offered her cheek, but I didn't stop till I got the side of her lips!) ;) Hehe!
I will be 22 months in a few days.  Mommy is getting sad thinking about the fact that I will be a 2 year old soon.  She has already begun a list of stuff she will need to get or make for my Super Why themed birthday party!  I can't wait to see what all Mommy comes up with for the party... she always does her best to make things unique and special just for me! :D
Well, now that Wren has her own blog, Mommy won't be spamming my blog with all of HER details anymore!  Thank goodness! :)
This was taken after I had fallen asleep in the hospital the night of July 17th (the day Wren was born).  Mommy sneaked Wren into the picture for a cute photo op! (I will admit it is a pretty cute picture...)

Side note:  Daddy is in California right now for work.  He left yesterday and won't be back until Monday night.  We miss him so much and can't wait to go pick him up from the airport!!!  (Oh yeah, and Daddy, if you are reading this... you better bring me home something good!) ;)
