Almost Heaven

Mommy took off a few days and we went to visit our Auntie Gail in WV. We were also visiting our Great Aunt Nancy and Great Uncle Paul! They were in Maryland for Leah's baptism. We followed them to Auntie Gail's which was fun, especially at the rest stops when I could use the trailer's potty!

Of course, little Leah came along too. Mommy had to give her a bath in the kitchen sink!
She was having so much fun.
And then got distracted by the dog walking by. She is so close to sitting up without falling over. And let me tell you the girl can eat some food. Cheerios, puffs, pattypan squash, sweet potato fries, chicken, steak, you name it! Watch you fingers! She's got three teeth and she's not afraid to use them!
We went to the big pool where my cousins work a couple of days. But they got me my own pool for the backyard! It was so much fun. The water was cold on the first day!
I stole Leah's float!
And it flipped over on me!
We got our picture taken with Auntie Gail and Uncle Brian. These are outside their house. Way behind us are where the cows come! MOOOOOOOO!
Uncle Brian is kinda goofy!
Here is us with Uncle Paul and Aunt Nancy (or Miss Ancy as I like to call her). They had their trailer right there at Auntie Gail's house. I love that!
They are alot of fun too!

Next stop, the beach!

Catching Up!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post. Things have been very busy. As of three weeks ago, I am potty trained! Yeah! Mommy is the most excited. I still need a reminder once in a while, but usually I listen.

Most days our world is revolving around Leah. She gets alot of attention for an eight month old. I mean she's cute and all, but come on! Just look at her in this shirt, really, you have to advertise that you are adorable. I think we got the message.
She thinks she's so cool too because she can almost sit up. Look at all those pillows. I've got news for you Leah, I can sit up, no pillows needed. I do like to use the pillows to put on the floor and jump onto though. That's fun, and skill.
Don't you think I'm cute too?? Less of the adorable way and more of the "I'll comb my hair when I'm good and ready; future stunt woman" kind of way.
I must admit, I do love having a sister.
And we do have fun together. Just so you know, Leah had nothing to do with the marker drawn on the carpet. That was all me. BTW, Leah was eight months old exactly in this picture.
Leah was baptized today. It was in the church gym, during my nap time. I had a hard time sitting still with my mouth unopened.
Here we all are: Godfather Chris (Mommy's brother), Leah, Godmother Katie (Mommy and Daddy's sister-in-law), ME, Daddy and Mommy.
After the baptism, we had cake and then I went to Nanny and Pappy's house for a few days! No daycare this week. Off to WV on Wednesday with Mommy, Aunt Nancy (or Miss Antsy as I like to call her) and Uncle Paul.
As you can see, Leah is enjoying her time alone with Mommy and Daddy.
Hopefully, I will have some fun pix from WV!

Happy Father's Day!

You are the best Daddy in the whole world! I'd even share my snowball with you.Leah agrees. But she's not old enough for snowballs yet.
We love you!!!!

Happy Half Birthday, Leah!!!

Leah turned six months old today. Gone are her grumpy five month old looks. Now she always looks like she is having fun!Or has a secret...
Or just thinks duckies are really cool!
Leah had to go get those yucky shots today. This is what she did when she got home...for two hours! She never let go of her butterfly during her whole nap.
Mommy made us pose for some pictures together. I had to hold Leah since she can't sit up on her own yet.
This is our baby birdie pose.
She's kind of slippery to hold onto!
But I never dropped her!
Happy Half Birthday, Leah!
Now, did anyone make a birthday cake?!?!?

Let's Play Outside!

It's been a while since I've showed you some pics of me and Leah. As you can see, my face healed up nicely from my Easter fall.Daddy built a swing set for me
and Leah!

Isn't she cute in her blue swing. My swing is yellow. This is Leah before she decided to try to fly off her changing table. She was ok though, phew!

Mommy and Daddy also bought a bike trailer called a Burley. This is Mr Thomas riding us around our street. Can you see my pink and purple helmet? It's Dora.Leah got a new high chair. It straps onto the chair. She love the taste of...
her bib!
She has eaten rice cereal, bananas, avocados and apples. She likes them all...ok not the apples so much. But she'll get used to them.
This is Leah's five month picture that I didn't get up last month. Daddy made her hair stick up.
She really is not thrilled to have her picture taken this day.
Usually Leah is quite happy, like this! Of course she is teething now and that's no fun some nights.

On Saturday Leah found her feet. This makes her really happy! Now she sucks her thumb and her toes!This makes diaper changing fun for mommy and daddy!
So in case you haven't noticed, I have learned all my colors and I know my letters and the sounds they make. I love learning! But I am two and I don't really like listening. I love how it drives my parents nuts! Also to drive them nuts I am potty trained...only at daycare. They have had no luck with me at home since Easter Sunday!

Soccer!

I started a soccer class tonight. It's for two and three year olds. It's less of a class and more of chaos. That's me in the green pants.This is a vid of me kicking a goal. I was slightly more obsessed with the goal than the ball. It was alot of fun!

Even Mikey Likes It

Leah started to eat rice cereal. She is not so sure about it.
As you can tell...
As for me I rather like rice cereal.I dipped my pizza in it..

I don't know why Mommy and Daddy think I am silly.
