Life Around Here

I've recently discovered spitting. I really enjoy it. Mommy taught me to spit when she is brushing my teeth. I think it is appropriate to spit at other times... like when I'm in the living room, and I'm bored... or when I'm having some water...in the dining room, and I'm bored. You get the idea.

I'm doing much better with the stairs. Mommy's not letting me do them alone yet, but I totally could.

I'm really good at throwing and kicking balls. It's too bad we're moving - Kris was going to be my soccer mentor. But I'm sure being around all my cousins on a more regular basis will give me plenty of outlet for expending my energy.

Yes... we're moving to Texas! Woohoo for family! We'll see how Willow and I fare in the heat. We're both pretty hot-natured like Mommy.

I'm getting somewhat better at communicating. It's an on-going process...one that greatly frustrates me and leads to lots of screaming and fits.

When I'm naughty, I'll send myself to the corner now for time-out. (ok...sometimes Mommy has to send me to the corner..) When I calm down, I tell Mommy (or Willow or whoever) "Sorry
!", they say "I forgive you", and then we share a sweet hug. This seems to be working for right now.

Girl Time

willow and i have fun playing tea party together... most of the time...



and a little two-shot. obviously, we filled back out after our bout with the stomach virus. here, i'm trying to show my belly button to the camera - not fast enough this time!

Birthday Pictures

not for me, per se... but in honor of Willow's bday, we had our picture taken together too... awww... i was actually pretty good this time around!

Pics

a little skinnier, but on the mend...


here i was sick... yuck...

Some Pics

This and That

Here I am waiting for my first dentist appointment. We had to wait almost an hour...which TOTALLY stunk... but other than that it was great. Every one was so nice, and I did a pretty good job for my first check up. No cavities!


I'm super into doing the buckles on my booster seat. I mean BIG time. It's better than trying to climb into and falling... but still... ALL THE TIME... skills... I'm getting skills...


Lately, when Mommy asks to take my picture, I go and stand in front of the bathroom door. Then, I actually stand still for the picture! Amazing! I'm getting some lessons in the art of posing for pictures from Willow... I think I look like a rock star in this picture. or a granola... either way, i'm cool stuff man... cool stuff.


hey look... there's Willow. Whenever I get my picture taken, she pops on over and joins in...


and this is my snazzy new winter coat from Target... and look, it's purple. shocking, i know.

Precious Moments

I know some words and signs, but mainly i like to communicate with grunts and yells... like in this picture...


hassling my sister is a favorite past-time... around these parts, i'm known as Rose The Destroyer...


an obliging moment for the camera...


what i'm like a lot of the time - i've reached that stage when i get frustrated when people don't understand what i want... FUN!


my favorite past-time (besides hassling Willow and yelling at mommy) is doing the buckle on my seat, and climbing in and out of it...

Scenes from Yesterday

Granny made me a poncho just like Willow's, only pink...


Daddy cut my bangs - we're lucky I still have my eyeballs - not because of Daddy's aim, but because of my extreme wiggliness...


Willow and I striking a pose before heading outside to enjoy the firepit...


hanging out on a lovely fall evening...

Fall Pics at Linvilla

A beautiful fall day today at Linvilla. I was a little tired because of a too-short nap, but generally I enjoyed running around and even humored a few pictures being taken.

Daddy was going to cut my bangs after lunch today, but I fell asleep in my chair, so it was straight to bed...
