Mommy and I sing "You Are My Sunshine"

...and daddy got in on the act today, too!

I petted a woo woo! A real one!

He licked my hand! I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but I warmed up to him pretty quickly. He was really mellow while I petted him. What a good boy! I've always liked to chase doggies, but petting one was a big step for me. This was my first! And you know what, it might happen again!

Happy birthday, mommy!

Let's go to Costco for some birthday hot dogs! HA HA!!

YES! LASAGNA!

Gimme that fork.

Want to see how fast I am?

When I run away during morning clothing changes, all you see is a blurry outline of a baby!

You know what I daydream about?

Getting a real doggie. In the meantime, I'm just going to hug this one tightly. He barks and wags his tail like a real doggie. He'll do.

I'm particular about ice cream, you know

I don't know... that doesn't LOOK like it's from an ice cream truck to me.

Oh? What's that you say? You say it's a mini mint mouthful from Trader Joe's? That's all you had to say! I'll stick my tongue out to lick the ice cream.

In LA, even the dogs do what they can to avoid the snaparazzi

My doggie is THAT much of a celebripup!

I take measures to ensure that my rascally Miss Piggy doesn't escape

Just in case she gets the wise idea to crawl out of my crib in the middle of the night, I maintain a Kung Fu death grip on her leg! There's no escaping me!

YIKES!

That was TART!

I went off to a corner so I could drink it all myself!

I told you I'm quick!

I made off with mommy and daddy's bottle of POM while they weren't paying close enough attention!

Mommy, I'm sleepy!

Zzzzzzzzz.

No, I'm not giving myself a time out

I just like to lean up against this little nook!

I love to walk in mommy's heels

I don't even seem to notice that her shoes are three times the size of mine!

I spend a lot of time pondering life's great questions

Can't you see?

I'm a magician!

Watch me make strawberries disappear!

Now where did they go?

Just because it's a cleanup weekend doesn't mean I don't get to play

Here I am suckering daddy into giving me a ride to the living room!

Peek-A-Boo!

Guess whoooooo!

I ran around in Santa Monica!

We went to Santa Monica for dinner last night. I saw some doggies and decided to chase them around! I chased them all the way down Ocean, and throughout the park on the beach-side of the street. One of them tried to lick me. I didn't like that. I gave him my "mad" look. He licked my doggy instead. I *really* didn't like that. I hugged my doggy tight and told the offending dog "BYE!" He got the hint. Then I was rid of him. I also chased pigeons. I wanted to pet them, but they kept flying away! So rude.

Must. Reach. Electronics.

I will succeed!

Daddy's back makes a decent desk!

Daddy was pretending to nap. I didn't fall for it. But I did use his back as a desk while I read

my magazine!

You know what's annoying about pasta?

It's so hard to get it on a fork! I'll just use my fingers, thankyouverymuch. My favorite pastas are Trader Joe's linguini with tomato sauce (it comes with their prepared chicken parmesan entree) and SpongeBob mac and cheese. And I use my fingers for both!

No daddy, I'LL push the stroller

I've totally got it.

Happy mother's day!

I got you flowers!

I'll shove this whole strawberry in my mouth even if I have to squish it to make it fit!

I love strawberries. I'm hoping to make it to the strawberry festival this year!

Wow, that is one big mandarin orange segment!

I can hardly close my mouth to chew!

You should be so lucky as to have MY focus

Look how intent I am as grandma reads to me! You just can't break my concentration.

My new favorite books

I really enjoy Matthew Van Fleet's books. They have pull-out segments that make the animals inside move. I got "Tails" as a gift for my first birthday. I've come to love that book so much that mommy and daddy have rounded out my collection with the remainder of his books (except the one or two that haven't come out yet, that is). The most recent one I've gotten is a book called "Cats." It has tons of cats doing various silly things. But my favorite is the page with the hide cat, the seek cat and the peek-a-boo cat that pops out of the rain boots when you tug on the pull at the bottom of the page! The cover rates a close second. It has a little area that you push in to make the cat's hand dip into the fish bowl as the fish swims just barely out of his reach!

Good times.

Aunt Pook-Pook doesn't take no for an answer when it comes to hugs

I was busy jumping on the couch and pondering political theory -- but she had other plans!

Happy birthday to Scott!!

May the 4th be with you (ha ha ha -- Star Wars reference).

Here's an idea: for your birthday, you should come visit me. :)

I need a few things to be comfortable at night

I ask for those things before going to bed and as a condition to my sleeping. First, I need Miss Piggy. You can see that I've secured her with my legs. I also need daddy's bright yellow SpongeBob shirt. You can see it peeking out from under me. Third, I need my blankie in case I get cold at night. I otherwise prefer it to be crumpled up in a corner of my crib. Finally, I need my sippy cup of water for when I wake up in the middle of the night for a drink. That's not in the picture, but rest assured -- it's closeby!

Okay, that house wasn't just ugly -- it was uuuuuuuugly!

That thing is practically a tear-down, but it's in a good location and it has a nice, big back yard for me to run around. Mommy and daddy *loved* it! They're hoping we can get the ugly house at a reasonable price so they can build a good house in its place. Fingers crossed!!

Mommy and daddy like ugly houses

We are going to see a house tomorrow in La Canada. The pictures are just awful. I heard mommy tell daddy that it's the perfect piece of crap for us because it is the ugliest house on a pretty block. I think they're assuming I'm going to pretty up the ugly house just by moving in. :)
