July 2011

Here I am with my Aunt Katie playing the piano at Aunt Terry and Uncle Tim's house. It's a duet. Actually, Aunt Katie is playing beautiful music while I bang away on the high notes.

Here I am at Nonni's house playing with the neighbor kids. You know how it is...fast cars and fast women.

Here I am all dressed up in my tie and vest.
I know I've mentioned how much I love my cousin Elias, but I'm going to say it again. He's awesome. To quote the show Scrubs, "It's guy love...between two guys."


Don't know if you heard, but I went pee-pee on the potty for the first time July 18th. When I'm wet or poopy, I tell Mommy by grabbing my diaper. Then we try the potty and get a fresh diaper. I was at Ms. Janelle's house this past week and told her, too...then I went to my diaper bag and brought her a fresh diaper, just in case she wasn't sure that's what I was saying.

Elias came to stay with us one weekend in July, and we had a blast! Here's Elias and Daddy snuggling:
And here I am to join the fun!

Nonni and Papa came over for a visit since their two grandkids were in the same place at the same time. I can't say that we fought over them, but we definitely were occupying both of their laps while they were here. Don't worry...we shared.

Playing with Papa and Elias:

I love to vacuum! I love it so much that I hate it too. Let me explain. I love to push it around, but it weighs 20 lbs, so I can't make it do what I want it to all the time. Then I get really, really mad and frustrated. Mommy has actually started to hide it from me to save me from myself. Don't worry. I still have the dustbuster, which keeps me quite busy. I open the closet, give Mommy the broom, and she sweeps the floor, creating piles for me to suck up. We're a good team. I make sure she does this at least a couple times a day. It's hard to find good help these days, you know. Oh...and Nonni just got me my very own Dirt Devil vacuum. It looks like Mommy's, except that mine is red. It even works! We're blowing through batteries like crazy around here.


Here I am helping Mommy cook. This is my Learning Tower, which keeps me safe while I help with things. Now I know how to push it to the counter, then climb up in!


I still love my swing!
