Drinks and Llamas

I had fun drinking two drinks at the fair a chocolate malt and water, while I ate some yummy gold fish crackers. Today we went with Grandma 2 and Grandma, everybody had a terrific time.

"Is My Mama A Llama?" That's one of my favorite books and today I actually saw a real llama up close and personal it was so cool.

These Shoes R Made 4 Walking

Yep, I got spiffy new shoes and this time they are walking shoes unlike my last pairs that were cute but really just for show. At first I didn't know what to think because it felt like someone put lead on my feet I couldn't walk at all but then I started to move a little. However it was more of a sideways shuffle rather than a walk. But by the end of the day it was business as usual and I was moving good. I like them and I also like to say, "Shh" and point at my new shoes. And look Eddie approves of them so they must be nice.

Cowabunga!

Guess what, we went to the Mower County Fair with Grandpa & NCB today! We looked at all the animals and I decided that I liked the cows the best. I like them because their big, come in different colors, and say, "Moo". I also liked the baby chickens and piglets because they were super cute and small! We did a lot of amazing things; I rode a pony named Tony (no I'm not making that up that really was his name!), I went fishing and caught two fish with one line so I won an adorable green frog, my Papa won a stuffed brown cow for me playing a whiffle ball game, and we even ate some yummy food too (the chocolate malt and Tom Thumb donuts were among my favorites). When we went into the creative arts building we found out that both of my parents won ribbons for their photography but only one of them received a 1st place blue ribbon... way to go Papa! It was a truly great day and I can't wait to go back to the fair!

I Love My Teeth!

Here's my toothpaste 

Here's my brush

I won't hurry, I won't rush. 

Working hard to keep teeth clean 

Front and back and in between.

When I brush for quite a while I will have a happy smile!

Since I turned one year old and have eight teeth (and am a big boy now!) we thought it was time to start some dental hygiene practices. To make it fun we sing this song. I also have a special toothbrush that's just my size and super tasty toothpaste. So one of my parents brushes my teeth, roof of my mouth and tongue, and then I get to take over making sure that the job was done correctly. If you ask me where my tongue is I'll stick it out for you and I also know where my teeth are... I love my teeth and I love brushing. We have been doing this for a couple of weeks now and I am getting really good at it I hardly ever gag myself anymore. (I used to put the brush in a little too far at first, oops.)

Super Easter Hair Net?

Okay so obviously these pics need explanations, my Mama read a book about things to do with a toddler and one of the things was to put together a "tickle trunk" which is a basket filled with fun outfits to walk around the house just being silly in. I have tried Papa's old ties, suits, hawaiian shirts, hats, etc. but this is our best look yet wouldn't you agree?! It happened by accident it is laundry day tomorrow and we were scraping the bottom of my clothes to come up with something to sleep in after my bath tonight and this looked like a comfy outfit. As an added bonus, I bet my hair will look fantastic when I wake up in the morning. J

Our Sunday Jaunt

Grandma 2, Mama and I went on a day trip to see my Grandpa, NCB and Aunt Briana on Sunday, and then a little later went to see my Grandma who was dog-sitting for Vickie & Sean. I had a lot of fun visiting everyone and showing off my new walking abilities. Per many requests here is another video - this one is me climbing up the Mount Everest of Grandpa's backyard.

Jake Toddling About

Webster defines a toddler as "one who toddles" boy they sure have that correct, here is Jake in all his glory toddling about the living room. He is walking a lot now but in that slightly uncertain wobbly way toddlers often do it's very cute and exciting to watch.
