Reading, Reading, Reading

I am really into books lately. Always wanted someone to read me a book.

Here mom and I are reading: Where is Baby's Belly Button

Besides lots of reading, I've also been doing lots of talking. This weekend I said a few more new words including: cashew, waffle, water, juice, cracker, stuck, up, baby, and mine.

Rooster from Grandma Joy

Grandma Joy and Grandpa John sent me a present for Easter too.

Mom let me open this one as well.

Inside was a rooster flashlight that makes rooster sounds when you hold onto it. At first Mom had to show me how it works, but I've got the hang of it now.

This will come in handy the next time we go to the beach.

Hey Dad...let me see that camera for a second will ya?

Nani's Snacks

Nani and Papa Charlie sent us a package for Easter. Mom let me open it. Inside the package I found my favorite snack mix. Rice crackers of various sizes with sesame sticks and peas. Yummmm!

Mom found Moose Munch in the package, which she tells me is not for babies (but she really likes it a lot).

Thank You Nani and Papa!

Beach Weekend

Here are some photos from our weekend at the beach. We all had a great time.

I had to walk all around the beach house when we got there, to make sure that I remembered everything. I had to tell Mom and Dad all about the hot stove and the fan and avery's water. Here is a photo Mom took while I was telling her that these are grandma and grandpa's books and not to touch them.

And here are grandpa's binoculars. You aren't supposed to touch those either.

I walked and walked and walked and walked all over the yard...I had to check out EVERYTHING. Friday night I walked around the yard in the rain. I was very interested in the frog pond, but we didn't find any frogs in it. Much to Mom's relief, I managed to stay out of the pond itself...but the grass was so wet that it didn't really matter much because I was still soaked.

Mom read me lots of books at the beach.

Some of my favorite books right now are:

Where the Wild Things Are (I have been really into this book for awhile now. Every time I see it I say "Why-o Why" wild things.)
The Giving Tree (This is one of the books Mom reads to me before I go to sleep)

Little Critter's My Special Friend (in this book, Little Critter's friend gives him a cookie, so every time I see this book I say: cooook keee)

Six Dinner Sid (This is a book about a black cat like Kali that eats six different dinners at six different houses)

On Friday we listened to cds on the stereo. We did lots of dancing. I got really serious when one song came up. Hurt-Johnny Cash. I just stood and swayed to the music. Then after a while I had to go over to the stereo and figure out where this man was singing. I stared for a long time. Looked left, looked right, checked around the back. I just couldn't figure it out. That sure was a pretty song.

I played with my hammering bench. I am getting really good at it.

On Saturday, after a morning of talking and tickling...we all went to Westport to do some exploring.

I wore my hat and sunglasses because it was a very sunny day...and just a little chilly.

We had ice cream and everyone shared with me! Mom's tasted the best (honey cinnamon).

Chelsea rode with me in the backseat. It is so fun to have someone to ride with.
