Things I Shouldn't Have

Mommy caught me playing in my room today. Usually the door is shut because I really like to re-organize my changing table. Today, I got into a lot of things I am not supposed to play with (and yes, that is a bib stuck to my diaper).

In the video, you will see several things Mommy says I am not supposed to play with: my nail clippers, my sunblock, my medicine, the books on my bookshelf...

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma

Last weekend, my friend Lily and I went up to my grandpa and grandma's to visit. Grandpa and Grandma bought a little pool for us. It's better than the one I have. It is bigger, deeper, and because it is a blow-up one, I can collapse the sides to let all the water out.

The water was kind of cold, so I didn't want to stay in the pool for very long. Or so that's what I made Mommy think. As soon as she got me dressed, in I went again!

Lily has hair long enough now to wear a ponytail. It is fun to take it out.

Even though Lily is younger than me, she doesn't let me boss her around. She pinched me after I tried taking out her ponytail.

Lily's Visit

One night when my grandma was babysitting me, Lily came over! We had so much fun! I even shared all my toys with her.

Goofing around in the bathtub

One of my grandmas gave me this Finding Nemo faucet cover for a present. As you can see, I don't use it for its intended purpose.

Note to toy makers: faucet covers should blend in with the faucet, not be bright orange and shaped like a famous kid's toy.

Eggs, too?!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Don't worry, I am still just as cute and still just as humorous.

After my birthday party, Daddy decided to make cupcakes using cornstarch instead of flour. He felt bad that I hadn't been able to eat the birthday cake pictured in the last posting. If you have never tried substituting cornstarch for flour, I wouldn't recommend it. Not only did the cupcakes taste gross, but they crumbled all over.

This is what happens to cupcakes that taste gross and crumble all over. Incidentally, the other thing that happens with these cupcakes is that they give me hives...

Because the cupcakes were a failure, Daddy decided to make a flour-less chocolate cake two days later. It was really good, but moments after I finished eating it, I got hives and then started throwing up. Hmmm...what is the only common ingredient between the cupcakes and the chocolate cake? EGGS!!!!!!!!!

So, I have now been tested for an egg allergy, and yes, I am allergic to eggs as well. I sure hope I'm not allergic to anything else...

My First Birthday Party

Last weekend, my family gathered together to celebrate my first birthday. Mommy decided to go with an Elmo theme, since we have been watching Sesame Street all summer long.

Here's my birthday cake. Grandma and Grandpa made it for me!

I got so many presents. I had fun opening them.





It was especially fun eating the wrapping and tissue paper!


Look at all the toys I had when I finished opening all my presents!

I can't wait until my next birthday. There's nothing better than having a day that is all about you. I have heard, however, that Christmas is almost as good!

Graduation at Mommy and Me

Today was graduation at my Mommy and Me Class. Mommy and I have been going all summer. We also went last year before she went back to work last fall. Class is much more fun now because I can crawl all over the place.

Here's me with my graduation cap on. I even got a diploma, which I promptly ate.

I am kind of sad to be graduating because I made so many friends at the Mommy and Me class. It was also fun to play with toys that were different than the ones I have at home. Luckily, I am invited to come back to Mommy and Me "Toddler" next summer. I can't wait!
