Behind...

Once again, I have fallen behind in my updates. I have no pictures to share right now, but wanted to provide an update for all of you who have been giving my mom grief about not posting!!

In honor of my aunt Christina and my friend Sarah, I have composed a list of new things I can do. Mom says the "Languagey" things should be listed first, since they are the most important.

1. I understand some requests, most of the time. Check that, I UNDERSTAND some requests all the time, I FULFILL them some of the time. For example, I understand "lay down," "give me ____," "put ____ in," as well as others that I'm forgetting.

2. I know where to go to get food. My mom and dad say, "if you're hungry go to your chair." Not a problem. I'm definitely not one to miss a meal!

3. I have been heard saying the following: da (three forms - as a question it means "what's that", as a statement it means "I want that", and if I say it two times it means "daddy"), tuh (truck), tie tuh (fire truck), do (dog), oh (cherios - not quite consistent yet), aker (cracker), go, bye-bye, hi, gama (grandma), ca (car), and "I do" (over and over)

4. I am SO close to walking - but it seems like so much effort. I don't really see what the big deal is - I can get into things a lot faster if I'm crawling. But, mom and dad seem to get really excited when I'm on two feet so I humor them every once in a while.

5. I can put coins in my pig bank toy. I can put balls in my train toy.

6. I can do other things, but those are the biggies right now.

That's my life....you know.

Childhood Friends

My friend Emily came over again the other night - we had SO much fun in the new swimming pool...



We had watermelon and company casserole for dinner - messy messy stuff. So, the following is one of the many (I'm sure) embarrassing pictures to be posted on this blog. I'm pretty sure I'm going to "love" this pic in about 15 years! :) Thanks mom.


This is my life, according to me.

Party Pics

Thanks Everybody!!









Pics to Come

Ok, I don't have any pictures to put up right now, but Mom says that a lot has happened in the last couple weeks and I should make sure to make a note of it. Otherwise, I might forget and she said she's not going to remind me of these events when I get older - not that she would forget, mind you, but that I should start learning RESPONSIBILITY early! :)

So, Memorial Day weekend was a little weird. Good, but weird. I spent the weekend at my Grandma and Grandpa Wrenn's in Boonville and when I got back to Columbia, all my stuff was at this new place. I'm pretty sure I had been there before to see my friends LeiLei, Klause, and Anna (oh, and Matt and Carla too), but now all MY stuff was there. So, that was kind of weird.

The next few days, my parents were running around a lot trying to "get the house ready" for...get this...my ONE YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY. Another round of craziness - can't believe I've lived in this world for a whole year. I have learned ALOT! Let's see, what do I know? Well, my favorite books continue to be: Moo Baa La La La, Blue Hat Green Hat, Are you My Mother, and Jesus Knows Me. My favorite toys: anything that goes in the water, anything that stacks, anything that has wheels, and anything I can put in my new shopping cart. Favorite foods? I don't think I'm opposed to much of anything. I LOVE Cheerios though and have a lot of fruit (even though Jeanne says that maybe I don't need quite so much all the time)

Other things - well, I learned this new word that for some reason makes people have to leave the room. The other day, I crawled over to a cabinet that I'm not supposed to be getting into and as a reminder I said, "Nonah, NO!" - Mom and Dad had to turn away pretty quickly. Also, a couple days later, Jeanne suggested that I might want to stop doing what I was doing and I looked at her, raised my hand and agreed by saying, "NO!" - she had to go into the kitchen. I don't understand - but apparently this word makes people need to leave! :) (Mama's note: or it's so funny that adults are trying not to encourage it by laughing in front of you)

What else? I had a fabulous birthday party. There were SO many people there. Mom says that we'll be working on Thank You's very soon and she appreciates everyone's patience. But, I had a great time! I liked that everyone was at the new house and there to see me! I kind of had fun with the cake - it's weird eating something messy with everyone watching! Plus, mom and dad don't really let me get THAT messy very much, so that was a little interesting too. I did like the presents - afterwards - during the party, I mainly just wanted to play with bows and bags and other wrapping materials.

So, that's what my life has looked like lately. Sorry for the lack of updates and sorry for the lack of pictures. Mom says she's working on it as fast as she can.

That's my life...according to me.

Happy Mother's Day

Hope everyone has a great mother's day - I saw my mommy and both of my grandmas for Mother's Day - hope everyone is that lucky!! :)

Weekend Fun

Mommy and Daddy had a garage sale this weekend so I spent the WHOLE weekend in Boonville with my Grandma and Grandpa Wrenn and Uncle Aaron. We had a really good time playing and laughing and waving. I know now how to play the cymbals. It was really fun!

This is my life....according to me.

The Busyiness Continues

Hello Internet - this has been a very busy month so far. For one, I learned how to do some major coasting - tables, chairs, couches, Daddy's legs - not a problem for this guy! I'm getting really close to the walking thing - I took about 1 1/2 steps before falling the other night - good huh? Also, I've discovered that with a little effort, I can reach the top of the stairs (supervised, of course). So, that's cool.

I've also started negotiations on these "no" items in my house. Here I am explaining to mom and dad how it's ok if I just touch the wine rack, One more time.....
Of course, I still like books quite a bit, especially turning the pages! I don't quite have the timing down yet, but it sure is fun!
That's my life - according to me.
