Having Fun...

April 30, 2009...I got to help feed Reese some sweet

potatoes today. I'm trying to get the hang of holding

the spoon. It is so much fun to be a big brother.

April 29, 2009...Painting with watercolors is so awesome!
April 26, 2009...Hanging out with Reesey...

Look what I made with Mommy...
We planted a garden...

I'm going to help with the watering...
April 24, 2009...Daddy took us to our first baseball game

of the season. We went to see the Mudcats. We didn't stay

very long because they had fireworks after each home run,

and I didn't like the fireworks. They had 4 home runs.

I'm Thirty-Four Months Old!!!

April 23, 2009...I turned 34 months old today. I'm getting so close to being three years old! I like to do things on my own and be independent. I'm getting pretty funny these days. I love to be with my friends, especially Camden & Ainsley. I see Ainsley at the YMCA on a daily basis, and Camden lives across the street! I love having a little brother. I am very protective. If anyone comes to look at him or talk to him when he's in his stroller, I put my arm across him to make sure he's safe. My favorite foods are chicken, hummus, pepperoni, sweet potatoes, ice cream, cereal, granola bars, pesto, yogurt, and Cheddar Bunnies. My favorite shows are Little Bear and Franklin. Franklin is a new favorite! My favorite books are Franklin books; books about garbage trucks, dump trucks, big rigs, street sweepers, backhoes & construction equipment, cranes, and any other diggers; The Berenstain Bears Family Reunion; Machines at Work; Barney's Easter book; books about airplanes; and Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?. I love going to Rhyme Time and the park with my friends, going to job sites and out to lunch with Grandpa, watching videos and playing with Grammy, playing sports and being crazy with Daddy, reading books and playing with my toys with Mommy, hugging Reesey, playing with my favorite stuffed animals (Rocket, the cat; Growler, my blue tiger; and Little Bear), playing with my cars & trucks, playing at my sand & water table, watching construction and airplane videos on youtube.com, listening to my favorite songs (Don't Stop Me Now by Queen & Livin' On a Prayer by Bon Jovi), dancing naked after my bath, going to the airport, and being with people who love me. I like to climb in my carseat, get my plate and silverware, brush my teeth, and turn on my fan & nightlight & music all by myself. I'm full of energy and such a joy to my family.

Our Trip to Naples...

April 10-18, 2009...I spent the week in Naples, Florida, with Nana, Nano, Uncle Michael, Auntie Lish, T.J., Daddy, Mommy, and Reese. I had so much fun going to the airports in Raleigh and Tampa. I enjoyed playing with my cousin, T.J., so much. The beach and pool were a blast. I have my own swim vest, and I can swim by myself. We went to the Naples Zoo and the pier, too. Here are lots of pictures from our vacation. I really love my family.

April 17, 2009...I saw an awesome sunset from our condo. I'm the big brother!

many good ones. I got to spend some time alone with

Mommy on the beach. We made lots of sand castles

and decorated them with the shells that we found.
