Spring Time!!

Man, its hard to believe that just a few short months ago - this is how I was spending my time outside... And, now - Spring has officially arrived (well, technically a few weeks ago...but you get my point). I got to experience my first Easter Egg hunt at my Great Aunt Janet's house this year. I had a blast running all over the yard finding those eggs!

While I was on the hunt, Daddy stayed back and guarded my Easter basket for me. Those eggs were loaded with money, so I didn't want anyone walking off with them ;-) Once I finished with my hunt, all of the adults had their own in the backyard. I think I found the most eggs though

This weekend, Mom and Dad surprised my by getting a new toy for the backyard. They tell me its only going to make occassional appearances, but man - is it ever fun! I took right to the slide..

and started getting a few climbing lessons. I can't wait until they set it up again for me!

Hope you all had as nice a weekend as we did.

First Hair Cut

Well, after just 17 short months, Mom and Dad decided it was time for me to get my first hair cut. Here is the "Before" shot of the back of my head while I made sure the barber knew what he was doing on another customer Then, it was my turn! Mom and Dad said I did really well. I didn't cry or fuss at all, but I can't say that I was completely happy with the whole thing. Most of the time I just sat quietly and tried to figure out exactly what was happening

Before I knew it, it was all over, and Mom and I went outside to play and show off my new Do while Daddy got his hair cut (Watching that actually caused me more stress then getting my own done). What do you think? Mom misses the curls.

I told her that hair doesn't make the man, and that they'll grow back - so you just need to sit back and enjoy. I mean, hey - What are ya gonna do?

Till next time...

For Your Viewing Pleasure

Here are a couple of videos of me playing on my new basement toys.
First up is my first test run on my trampoline. Since this video was taken, I've actually mastered standing and bouncing too!


This next video shows my expertise on the slide. If you use sound, the freight train you hear in the background is just Tazz panting from her ball play


Hope you enjoyed the movies
Bye for now

16 Months old

Hi again. I'm just over sixteen months old now. Can you believe it?
A few weeks ago, we spent a week up at the Cape, and although the circumstances that took us there weren't the best, we all managed to have some fun
Megan, Rachael, and I got to show off our artistic side with a little finger painting


Here is one of my finished master pieces. Do you think I have a career ahead of me?
I've also been having lots of fun back home as the weather starts to take a turn towards spring. I'm getting really good at climbing all over the jungle gym in the park
Of course, just because its getting warmer out doesn't mean I can't still have lots of fun inside too. Below I'm showing Daddy that yes, elephants can ride horseback :-)I hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather where ever you are. Spring is just around the corner!!

Winter Time Fun

Hi! Well, winter has been in full swing here in New Jersey. On the days when it isn't too cold or icy out we're all sure to get outside and play a bit. I really like leaving my tracks all over the neighborhood!
Of course, it does also mean we spend some more time playing inside then in the summer. I've been working on lots of new tricks... like walking backwards, spinning in circles, clapping, and perfecting my balance as you see here. You'll probably notice that I'm also working on my NFL Linebacker face - do you think this says "don't mess with me!" ?

Thankfully, we've had a bit of a warm spell lately though so we're able to play outdoors a bit more. All of that melting snow makes some great puddles for playing inAt the end of the day, whether we played inside or out, I like to finish with a good snuggle into the downstairs bed. I must say its pretty comfy!I hope you are all enjoying your winter where-ever you are! Talk to you again soon.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Hi everyone.
I know its been a little while since my last post, but I've been busy, busy, busy...
First, we had another little snow fall this past weekend - so I had to be sure to help daddy shovel the walk and driveway. We can't have anyone slipping and falling!
I've also had lots of important phone calls to take. I've become quite popular :-)
Don't worry though, I still take plenty of time to play and relax. Have you seen these fish?! They are a ton of fun to watch
Well, thats all for now. Be sure to keep checking back in soon!

Christmas Week

Man, Christmas is a lot of work! First, I spent a good deal of time ensuring that the house was clean for all of our guestsOnce all of the sweeping was done, it was time to play with some of my toys. Here I'm practicing to be a rock star when I grow up!
Or, maybe, I'll race horses for a living. So many options!
When all was said and done, there was MORE cleaning to be done. Its a good thing Daddy has me to help with all of the chores, or those trash cans might stay at the curb forever
Finally, when all the toys were opened, the guests had left, and the work was done, Tazz was nice enough to share her bed with me for a quick rest
Many thanks to everyone for all of the wonderful presents, and making my Christmas so special and fun! It was really great to see everyone. I can't wait to do it all again next year!!
