I'm
23 Months Old Today!
June 6, 2003 |
|
One more
month until I turn 2! I am ready! Mommy and me went
shopping already for my party. I picked out the decorations
and Mommy is going to "try" and make my cake! You
will have to wait until next month to see. I'm sure, if you
know me at all, you can guess what the "theme" will be.
Let's see...what is going on new with me. I am talking a lot
and probably have a good hundred words in my vocabulary. The
newest ones are: water, more, please, moon, side (outside), diaper,
play, red, and purple. Mommy said that I am learning that
every time I say please, doesn't necessarily mean I will get
it. I have also started to use 2 or 3 words together:
"go, car, ride", "more, juice, please",
"Daddy, play, please".
I am still all about my cars. My Matchbox ones are my
favorite. I like to line them all up in a row. When I am
not playing cars, you can find me reading (my new favorite is The
Little Engine That Could), coloring, playing with Playdough, ball
and playing outside in my sandbox...with my cars (heehee).
I am sleeping great in my new bed and am fully adjusted to it.
I like to help Mommy make it in the morning. My car sheets are
my favorite. I am also getting better at brushing my
teeth. I have 12 now and Mommy thinks that the rest will soon
be here. She said she can tell from the way I've been acting.
I haven't started that going to the potty business yet. I am
not too sure what I think about all of that. Mommy said we
need to wait until I see Dr. Hollowell again. If all I need is
the ultrasound, we are going to go buy a potty. I kind of know
what is going on....Daddy shows me and I like to imitate him.
Mommy says that I stand in a dangerous place...what ever that
means! I just don't know if I am ready to give up my diapers
yet. You have to stop playing to use the potty!!
Well, I am going to go for now. I think June is going to be a
bit calmer than last month...but you never know with us!

Father's
Day
June 15, 2003 |
|
It's Daddy's
second Father's Day today! We had such a good time.
First off, I bought daddy 2 "daddy" shirts (one even has
the Simpsons!). I also got daddy a set of boxers to go with
them. There are cars all over them! But the big present was a 6-person tent. Mommy's
gonna need eased into camping by going to a public camping site
before we really go rough it, but Daddy says he's looking forward to
it. I can't wait.
After presents, Daddy got to choose an activity for the day,
so we all got to go biking.....on the Greenbelt. It's almost
20 miles around the loop, so I was a little worried about Mommy
making it, since she's kind of new to biking. But she did
fine! Daddy and I are both proud of her.

An
Unexpected Visit!
June
16th-17th, 2003 |
We had a nice
surprise visit from Aunt Atina, Uncle Will and Nickoli! It was
nice to see them again. It was also pretty neat to see Nickoli
walking all over the place. He wasn't doing that the last time
we saw him!
Anyway, we had a nice visit. We all went out for dinner at The
Red Robin. I got to sit in a booster seat, instead of a high
chair. Mommy and everyone else were impressed with what a good
boy I was! I ate all of my dinner and was patient while
everyone else ate! We filled out a card for me to get a free
meal on my birthday. I hope the waiters and waitresses sing to
me like they did other people in the restaurant.
After we got home, we celebrated my birthday...since they won't be
able to make it in for my party next month. The grown-ups
thought it was pretty funny when I opened my first gift. There
was this ball of tissue paper...so, I guessed..."it's a
diaper?" Everyone laughed. Daddy helped me unwrap
it and I'm like, "ooh, wow! rock?" Everyone
laughed again. I'm told that they are actually called
seashells. They are for in my bathroom. Mommy said that
they are more for her. I'm not sure how fair that is? HA
HA! Then Nickoli helped me finish opening my presents. I
got two puzzles. One is the alphabet and the other are
numbers. I can do the number one all by myself. The
alphabet on is a little tougher. I'm sure I will get it
though.
I had a nice time playing with everyone. Aunt Atina rates
pretty high in my book. She can play cars and make neat sounds
when reading stories!!
I hope we get to visit them again soon.

My
First Movie
June 22, 2003 |
Tonight, Me,
Mommy, Daddy, "Uncle" Mark and Katie went to see a movie
at the IMAX theater in the Whitaker Center. I had never been
to a movie before. I got my own seat but was more comfy in my
Mommy's lap. Daddy bought me some popcorn too. I shared
it with everyone. We watched a movie about the Coral
Reef. It was pretty cool. I liked all the boats and the
"bulldozer" crab was my favorite. I was laughing at
him really loud, so loud that Mommy was laughing at me. Uncle
Mark said that I was a good boy, and although I kind of
"gabbed" the whole way through it...he never heard
me. I couldn't help myself...there were so many cool things to
see that I had to make sure other people saw them too!

"Uncle"
Mark Visits From Florida
June
21-24, 2003 |
"Uncle"
Mark came back to Harrisburg for a few days to see me. He
"says" he had a wedding to go to and wanted to see
Katie...but I know the truth. It was to see ME! I don't
completely understand how he could move so far away from me, but
that's his problem to work out. Anyway, I was THRILLED to see
him!! We played a lot and I even got him to come outside and
play in my sandbox with me. We hung out a lot and had a good
visit.
We especially had fun Monday night...it was his birthday. The
BIG 29! Mommy got a special cake and I let him use my very
extra-special car candles!! The Martinelli's and Amanda all
came over to celebrate.
We hope you had a nice visit with us Uncle Mark and we hope you can
come back soon.
I LOVE YOU!!!
