Twenty Two Months (a little late)

Sorry that this is rather late, but we have been super busy since the day I turned 22 months old (June 6th).
So, I will go back and talk about my twenty-second month.  
In early May, we went to a neighborhood garage sale.  Besides racking up with clothes from some of my friends, I also got a few new toys.  You will see photos below of my new shopping cart, baby doll, and this month, I'll have to get some photos of my outside car that I love.
I continue to talk up a storm - and Mommy and Daddy are finally understanding more and more of what I am saying.  
I love to run - and I am slowly learning that if I run too fast, I will get boo-boos on my knees.  And, that is NO fun!  I love to play outside (but this month my parents have been too busy working in the yard to actually get any photos of all my fun outside -- I will have to remind them to do better about that.)

I love wearing Mommy's sunglasses in the car

Mommy says these pictures of me at a local McD's playground
do not look anything like me

 

I have discovered the world of coloring -
and I LOVE IT!

Mommy helped me take this funny photo of Daddy

I love taking all the blankets out of the basket and
playing in the basket

 

Mommy got me some new hairbows -
but I will only leave them in for a few minutes

 

 

My new outdoor chair Daddy got for me at Lowes -
but I convinced him that I need it indoors for now

Twenty One Months

What a busy month it has been.  But oh so fun!!

In early April, Mommy and I went to North Carolina for a weekend (We left Daddy at home to study for his Boards.)  We stayed for a few days with a friend of Mommy's from when she lived in East Asia - Mary Elizabeth Maynard.  They have a little girl about the same age as me, Blissy.  We had so much fun playing together.  And, it was nice to enjoy some warmer weather for a change, too.  On that Saturday, Mommy left me with the Maynards while she drove up to Virginia to attend the wedding of one of her dear friends, Lynn Lipp McBride.  That was the first time that I went to bed at night with someone other than Mommy or NaiNai -- and I did great!  Blissy and I had such a good time that I hope to get to see her again soon.

The weather here has been really crazy.  One day it was 80 and the next day, it was 50.  We also had a lot of rain one week, and some of our friends had flooding in their basement.  But, it is slowly getting nice outside - which means more time outside.  YIPPPEEEE!!!!

It has also been a great month for fun with friends.  We've had play group fun; fun at the Hodgsons; fun with Kimi; and fun with NaiNai.

We have spent the weekends working in the yard.  Mommy and Daddy say I am a good supervisor, and a good helper to pick up sticks and weeds (I especially like the yellow dandelions).  On one of Daddy's days off, we went to the Botanical Gardens.  WOW!!  So many beautiful flowers.

Some of my favorite things these days: playing with bubbles, pushing my stroller in the driveway, eating JellyBelly jelly beans, pulling all the toilet paper off the roll (Mommy and Daddy are not too fond of this one though), taking off my shoes and socks (I have even learned to take off my pants too), putting on Mommy's shirts, playing with friends, playing at a park - going down the slide, having bubbles in my bath, and my favorite continues to be watching Little People videos.
