End of February

In just a few days, I'll be exactly a year and a half old! Mommy gave me my third haircut this week, and I have eight teeth with four more on the way. Time flies! Here are some pictures taken this morning:

Sacked out... for a few short seconds!

Playing with my truck
Showing off my new haircut and sweet smile!

Saying Goodbye to Elisha

My best friend Elisha is moving to Kansas City. We had our last playdate today. I am going to miss him very much! It has been so fun this past year getting together with him and his Mommy Melissa on a weekly basis. We have had many exciting adventures together, swimming in the kiddie pool, playing at the beach and the park, watching the neighbors chickens, and going to the coffee shops for treats. I hope Elisha is able to come back and visit me every once in awhile, because things won't be the same without him.

Loving the sunshine!

A Tower of Blocks

Mommy and I built a gigantic block tower together this afternoon. I was so excited by how tall it was! When it went "boom", I was very upset... but we built several more towers before calling it a day with the blocks.
Oooh... so tall!!!
Holy Moly!
Tippy, tippy!
BOOM!
Not happy that the blocks are on the ground! Time to build them back up!

A Winter Walk 2

Here are a few more pictures from this evening...

Look Mommy! I learned how to do something dangerous!

A winter walk 1

Mommy and Daddy and I try to take a walk together every evening. Now that I am able to walk longer distances, we leave the stroller at home most of the time. Our walk tonight was so exciting! Our neighbor's chickens came out of their little house and said hello to us, then I threw rocks all over the alley behind our house, getting dirty before our walk even began! I got to see tons of red and pink balloons in the candy shop window, and the storm drain made me laugh because it was being noisy with the water trickling into it. I climbed all of the steps in front of our church, and sat on every bench along Main Street. I picked a flower in front of the pub, and then got upset when the petals stuck to my fingers. There was a truck with HUGE wheels in front of the real estate office, and I stopped to hug every light post and tree along the way. Daddy had to carry me during the final block home, because I had a meltdown after a flock of Canada geese flew overhead then disappeared. It was quite the evening!
All bundled up, ready to walk!

17 months

I turned 17 months old on February 3rd. Mommy just gave me my third haircut... a little trim of the bangs and a snip here and there around the ears. This weekend, I got to celebrate my cousin Mikayla's 1st birthday. It was so exciting being surrounded by puppies and balloons, AND getting to play with Mikayla's presents! Here are some pictures:

16 Months

Happy New Year! I have been keeping my Mommy and Daddy very busy! I have become a climber, and am constantly looking for opportunities to do something dangerous. Mommy has also been having to discipline me lately for biting and hitting when I am feeling bored. I am loving being able to walk! Several of our walks lately have been "big boy" walks without the stroller. I walked the whole loop through town, and have been to the shops, the beach, the Edmonds museum, and the playfield on foot! I still don't have very many words, but I communicate pretty effectively with hoots, facial expressions and lots of pointing.
Surprise Mommy! I took my pants off AND I'm climbing the chair!

Look Mommy, my belly button!
