I might have CHICKEN what?

CHICKEN POX! That's right. Yep. Uh huh. I got em! Well, maybe. Sort of. Kind of. I dunno. You see, 3 mysterious red dots showed up on my face the other day and we don't know where they came from. A lot of my friends here have had them recently but I haven't been in contact with them latley. Plus no one knows if they itch me or not. (I'm not sure I know how to scratch yet.) So it's a mystery! If they are the pox it's a really mild case and I'll consider myself lucky!

Mrs. Lam's Garden

Mrs. Lam is my downstairs neighbor. Even though we don't speak the same language we get along great! She is always outside cleaning or tending to her garden and every time I walk by I stop to play with her. She takes me around and shows me all her pretty flowers. She even lets me pick needles from her trees but I don't really like to touch them that much.

When I'm done playing she helps me walk up the stairs and I say "bye bye" to her. She is lots of fun!

One bad thing is that I accidentally broke her Snoopy garden figure. I love to carry that thing around but this time I dropped it and Snoopy's tail fell off! Dad super glued it back on but the next day I she let me carry it again and what do you know, that thing slipped right out of my hands again! This time Woodstock popped off! Oh dear. Sorry Snoopy... Now my parents are on a hunt to find a replacement...maybe they'll get 2!

My First Chore!

Even though I am only 14 months old, I have my first chore! I LOVE to help with the laundry. Mom has never been this caught up before because I insist on doing at least one load every single day. I take all the clothes out of the washer one by one and walk them over to either the drying rack or the dryer and throw them in. Then when they're all dry I take them out one by one and throw them inside so mom can fold them. She likes to fold, I like to unfold...she says it's a vicious cycle, whatever that means. If we don't have any clothes to wash I go into mom and dad's drawers and start taking the clothes out myself, who cares if they're clean already, I want to do another load! Here I am working away!

14 Months!

Hi Everyone! I'm 14 months old already. Here I am sporting my new cheesy smile. I can grin so big my eyes disappear!

I am a big boy now that I can walk everywhere. The only problem is the evenings when I get a little tired I tend to get a little clumsy also. My parents have to keep a close eye on me. So far no major bonks. When I do fall down I'm mostly concerned about what gets on my hands. I do not like fuzzies or anything to be on my hands. When I find one I say, "ooh ooh" and give it to mom right away. Same goes with crumbs, little pieces of paper, leaves, anything. Dad says it's okay to get dirty but I do not care for it one bit. In fact when I'm eating if anything gets on the corner of my mouth I wipe it off right away.

I am such a love-bug these days giving kisses to mom and dad. I even say, "mmm" as I lean in for the smooch. It's quite cute I have to admit and my parents can't seem to get enough of my sugar!



I tried my first lemon yesterday and it wasn't half bad. Mom was ready to capture my sour face but I just turned a little and then wanted more.

I love to play with my stacking cups. When my parents build towers I roar like a lion and knock them over.


This picture captures my "ooh-ooh" face. Mom and dad took me to some grass to play on and everything was great until I fell down and actually touched it. I did not care for it one bit. I was real careful not to fall down anymore.

I have been an amazing sleeping boy lately. I still go to bed at 7:00pm every night but for the whole week I've been getting up at 9 or 9:30! Plus I've also been taking longer naps during the day. Mom thinks I must be fixin' to grow. Whatever it is she better enjoy it while it lasts!

These shoes are made for walking!

Okay so about a month ago I took my first unassisted steps, 7 of them to be exact. Then I took a break. I proved I could do it and that was that. But yesterday I got that itch to take off and boy did I. Mom took me to the park and I walked all over the place. Today she actually caught it on film.
