Throw 'em in the pan!!!

I am learning new things everyday! Mama gets so excited that she catches me in action every chance she gets!!

Halloween Parade

I'm a fairly easy going fella...you know, laid back, happy, but today my Mama put me in front of a bunch of people in some kind of alligator outfit and now I am not so laid back - I will be more skeptical when she says "oh it will be fun!"I really did my best to keep from walking out into the waiting crowd - I wiggle wormed, I sat right down in the middle of the parade - SEVERAL times I might add, I kicked my feet and yelled my heart out, but that mama, (she sure is hard headed) she just scooped my tiny hiney right up and off we went to show off my costume! I tell you, I will be glad when I am big enough to do something about this getting picked up and hauled all over the place!

Thank you Mr. Artie for inviting me to the parade and to Ms. Lori for letting me play dress up and run all over your store!!

Milestones

Hello all! I am not sure if you remembered or not, but I reached another milestone last week - I turned 15 months old! 15 months doesn't really feel any different from 14 months, but I can reach higher on the counter tops then I could before!!

I went to the doctor yesterday. Mama said I was a very good boy. She even took me to Publix and got me a sugar cookie since I had to get 3 shots in my arms. It hurt really, really bad, but I tried not to cry too much - it upsets mama when I cry after shots, you would think they just stuck her with the needle!

The doctor said I am 33" tall, and weigh 24 lbs, 13 oz. I am in the 93% for my age in height!

My days have been pretty fun filled lately! I get to play with my grandmas all day long and today when mama got home she took me to the playground! It sure is fun being a little fella!

I will check in again soon, but until then, I hope you all have as much fun as I do!

Just a few words from Ryan...

GOT SPAGHETTI?

I am learning to use a spoon! Mama says that hands on learning is really the best way to go...As you can see, I am really into it!

School is back in session people!

Mama and daddy are off to the first day of school tomorrow. I am not sure exactly what that means, but I have noticed I get to play with the grandmas a lot lately, which is great because they pretty much let me do what ever I want - DON'T TELL MAMA!!!

I don't have too much to report this week...we watched cartoons last week and I ate snacks and took naps - pretty much the same as the week before! I do love playing with my grandmas - they give me extra hugs and kisses too, so I have to moisturize my cheeks each night, but Mama is good about helping me with that.

Mama and daddy say that they will meet all their new students tomorrow. I hope they are nice to mama and daddy and I hope they know not to jump on the couch or try to squish crackers into the air conditioner vent, because mama will be all over them for that kind of thing!

I will miss Daddy and mama while they are gone this week, but I guess me and Mr. Snuggles will have to watch over the grandmas while they are gone!

Have a great week, especially if you have to go back to school!

Say it with me now Y-E-S

Yes...its a simple term and it is my new and only word so far, but, boy, you should see the look on mom and dad's face when I say it!!! I like to say yes...it just rolls off the tongue so easily!! Ryan, do you love mama - yes...Ryan are you hungry...Yes. Ryan, are you spoiled beyond belief but no one can help it because you are so cute...YES!!! So if you were wondering if I have started really talking...the answer is YES!!!!
