FAO Fun

Last week I went to FAO Schwartz with Big T and Gemma for some fun pottery painting and playing with all the cool toys. This time I decided to make a trivet for Mommy. Here we are all getting started.

Once again I was very serious creating my art. I asked for many different colors and loved mixing them all together.

After I finished painting and got all cleaned up we all went underneath a table to the window to get a closer look at the street. We tried to get the attention of people on the sidewalk by banging on the windows and screeching.

Big T was look out this time and spotted a not-so-thrilled Mommy coming for us, so here we are looking as innocent as possible. It worked, but only long enough for them to snap a couple cute pics.

Mickey Cake

Yesterday I went to my friend Netahlia's 2nd birthday party. Everywhere I looked I saw Mickey, Minnie and the whole Clubhouse crew. I had so much fun playing with all her toys. Here she is blowing out her candles.

Kim spent 3 days making Netahlia's amazing cake. I was so impressed and am expecting a similar effort from Mommy for my cake this year. Right now I am thinking train theme....

It was really three different cakes in one, a banana, a chocolate and vanilla. I was very excited to try the cake, but had trouble deciding which one to try. In the end I went with Daddy's favorite, banana cake. After I ate my cake and ice cream we all went home for a nice nap! Thanks Tahlia for such a fun morning!

Flashback Sundays

It would be another month before I learned how to crawl, but at around this time last year tummy time became a walk in the park and there were no protests involved.

Mommy and I spent a lot of time at Gymboree last year. Here I am posing for a picture after class with all my friends.

When we needed to get out of the house, we would go to play gym. I wasn't crawling or walking yet, but loved to play on the equipment. Here I am with Sophie munching on some yummy fingers.

A big yawn after returning from a fun filled day out and about with Mommy.

Build-A-Bear BDay

Today I went to my friend Jake's 2nd birthday party at Build-A-Bear. It was my first time there and I was a little overwhelmed, but when I found out I was taking home a new friend I was thrilled.

It was so much fun making my own bear and getting him dressed. The first thing I did was give him a heart. He actually has two because I kept giving him hearts and Mommy couldn't get them all out. Here I am giving him a special wish.

The next step was to stuff him with love by stepping on a pedal. I was initially intrigued and then when I heard a vacuum cleaner sound I was, "all done pedal."

After he was stuffed, with Daddy's help, I gave him a shower and a nice brush. I loved brushing him, but the shower sounded like a hair dryer, so I was all done with that pretty quickly too.

Here I am giving my new friend a kiss before I pick out his outfit. There were so many different outfits to choose from. I went with the navy and orange track suit because I like zippers.

After we finish getting our new friends dressed we had pizza and cupcakes! I never pass up either so I was very excited.

I had such a blast at Jake's birthday party, I hope mine will be just as fun! Thanks Jake!

Say Cheese

As most of you know I recently sent Mommy's camera to electronics heaven. Daddy's solution to the problem was to buy me my own camera! Mommy's not so sure what kind of message it sends, but hopefully her new camera will live a long and happy life.

It is now one of my favorite presents ever. Here I am rolling around in bed with my new sidekick.

Mommy thought it would be funny to load me up with a memory card and see what kind of pictures I take. Here is my first self-portrait.

This is my first picture of Mommy, doesn't she look so nice. Mommy also found out that I took my first video at playgroup! Now Mommy doesn't have to be the only one who takes pictures for my blog!

Big Boy Bed = Big Fun

We had playgroup at Caleb and Connor's house this week and I had so much fun playing with all their toys. Although something else caught my eye when I went into their bedroom. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to get a big boy bed.

It was so cool! No rails, no confinement it was perfection. Sophie loved the those same things about it as well. Here we are, three monkeys all having lots of giggles in the bed.

When the rest of our friends heard how much fun we were having they all came to join in. I'm not sure how we all fit, but we did! I can't wait to get my own.

Burger Joint Dinner

Daddy went to work first thing Sunday morning, so after a long rainy day indoors I needed out, no offense Mommy. I broke out and met Teddy & Co. for some burgers and good music. Here I am enjoying a delicious black and white shake and Daddy hoping that I leave some for him....I did, but just a little.

I am fascinated with cameras, or as I call them cheeses, now. Every time Mommy uses it I have to have it. This new passion of mine has lead to the untimely loss of Mommy's trusty camera. Here is the last picture we have from our good friend.
