The Isle
My Daddy's friend Mike was getting married to "Bo-Nique" (Monique) and they asked me to be their ring bearer. All I really knew was that Mom put me into some really nice clothes (that I thought were pretty nice) and I got to walk down the isle. I did a lot of practicing and you could say that I'm pretty much a pro at the whole walking down the isle thing. The big moment came and the two girls that were
walking with me were set down. Then I was set down, and the race was on!! I took off around those girls, and started down the isle. Some people started clapping for me, so I stopped to clap with them! Then I looked back and saw that those girls were close on my heels, so I started down the isle again. I ran a little then looked back, those girls were still there! I laughed, and kept going, running down the isle. It was so much fun! Camera's flashing, people clapping, I was a sucess!! I enjoyed my trip down the isle so much that toward the end of the wedding I went down again!! I heard someone say "I now pronounce you man and wife" as I again started down the isle. I stopped half way down, cause the people weren't clapping for me. Then I saw Mommy back at the door and slowly went back. I got back to Mommy just in time for Mike and Monique to run out.
The Animals at the Zoo
So my Mommy has taken me to the zoo a number of times, but this time I actually realized that there were things behind those bars. This time I saw a BIG TALL giraffe. I was so excited!!! And when I saw the Elephant I told Mommy "the El-fant swinging" because he was swinging his long trunk. I saw the black and white lemurs jumping in the trees, and a funny monkey. I also watched the otters play in the water. The most exciting thing of all was when we went into the StingRay exibit. The zoo-people let me put my hands in and touch the stingrays. Mommy helped me and when I touched one I said "Mommy, fishes in water!! There Fish in water, Mommy!!!" I was so excited to be at the zoo.
My Toddler Bed
As you know, I'm pretty much a big boy now. So recently my Mommy and Daddy took one side off my crib and put some rails up to make it into a toddler bed. So I can go in and out all by myself! I think it's pretty cool, and I like to climb up and jump on my bed. The only thing I'm not so sure about is sleeping with it like this. The first time I took a nap in it I fell out!! It was so tramatic to wake up on the floor! But Mommy and Daddy realize this, so they put a blanket up for me so that I can't fall out...but I can still climb in and out of my bed. Someday soon I'll be a real big boy, and I won't be scared anymore.
New Teeth & Potty Training
Since I started walking, I've made several changes. I grew 2 more teeth..and boy did they hurt! I also am starting to be a big boy as I work on potty training. I'm very excited about being a big boy, Mommy and Daddy are excited about it too. In addition to growing teeth and potty training, I have also learned how to dance, and run. I love dancing and running around! Sometimes I love it so much I get laughing so hard that I fall over! I am also becoming more vocal, learning more words every day, and learning phrases like "I'm sorry" and "You silly". Toddlerhood is great, and I love it!
My Uncle Zack
Recently my Uncle Zack moved in with us. He sleeps in the office. I like having him around to play with. He's also nice to have around because he always has food and he always shares it with me. That's a nice uncle. The only down side to Uncle Zack is that he gives me zerberts, and they're just as wet as my kisses! Only babies should be allowed to give such wet gifts.
Walking
For a while now people have been talking to me about walking, and giving me words of encouragement. Mom says they finally paid off on September 7th because I took my first steps all by myself at Ronda Clark's house. Now, I walk around the living room from person to person all by myself. Sometimes I'll even look at the TV while I'm walking or talk, or even stop and clap. I'm really quite the tallented little toddler, just ask my Mommy or Daddy, they'll tell ya!
The World of Watermelon
Recently my momma introduced me to this wonderful fruit called watermelon. I love it so much! The first time momma gave it to me I gobbled it all up, but paused halfway through to say "thank you" cause it was just SO good! The second time I had it, I still couldn't believe how good this stuff was, and halfway through my watermelon I said "I like it Water-yeyen good!"
