Hanging at home

Just before my nap yesterday, we were just hanging out at home, doing a climbing and a little drooling thanks to the 2-year molars!

Park place

Yesterday morning we took a spin through Lincoln Park where I picked up a few of my favorite things...ROCKS! Trees are also kind of curious, especially when I stand right under them and look up. Hopefully a bird won't decide to poop on my head!

Rock pile Rowan

With Grandpa's help, Mom and Dad are redoing our front yard, which is great for me because there are all sorts of rock piles and dirt to explore!

Messy Marvin

So, I'm not Marvin, but I can certainly be messy like him! This is after a particularly yummy pancake with pureed berries on top...yeah, right...on top of my HEAD!

Island life

Today I had my first ferry ride from Mukilteo over to Clinton, which is on Whidbey Island. Mom and I went to visit our friends, Karin and Lulu (or Nutty Buddy as she is known to her parents!) since they are renting a house up there for the month. We had a great time at the park in the sunshine. Hightlights included running in a big field and spending a little time on the swings. Having my poopy diaper changed in the back of Karin's car was the low point of the day. :) Afterwards we went for pizza, had a browse in an antique store and then I fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Top chef

One of my very favorite things to do these days is to have Mom take ALL of the pots and pans down off of the pot rack so I can play with them. I really like to transport them between the kitchen and the bathroom, but Mom says that Padma, Tom, Gail and the guest judge might mark me down for cleanliness if I keep those practices up.

Snow man

You got it...I'm a snow man! We were out at Grandpa's where he had oodles of snow left from the big Seattle storm since he lives at the base of the Cascade range. I loved tromping through the snow, and Grandpa even got me an awesome sled. He made a pretty good sled dog when he pulled me down the driveway. I only had to yell, "Mush!" once or twice.

High and tight

Well, not exactly high and tight because if I asked for that, then I wouldn't really have any hair left at all now, would I? Anyway, Mom and Dad took me to see Dad's barber, Rob, and he gave me a good trim. I can't believe my parents took me to someone with NO hair to get my hair cut. Oh well, it seemed to work out OK. Mom saved some of my hair for my baby book...she's so weird.

Happy Christmas!

Better late than never! I had a great time checking out the trees at Grandma's house where I got lots of great toys. We went to Norfolk again to see Santa and I told him all about what I wanted. We had a good chat and I can't wait to see him again next year!
