Deuce Says Hello

I finally decided to give Mom a kick or two, actually three to let her know I'm in here. This is the first time that Mom has felt me move, so she was really excited. Daddy tried to feel me, but I don't think he did yet. This was the same time that Mommy felt Chandler move inside her during her pregnancy (17 weeks, 5 days) so she was somewhat relieved. She'll get to see me on Friday, so hopefully we can post some pictures!

Welcome Summer!

Hey Everybody! I'm sorry for not blogging lately, I've been very busy. My grandma and my nanny moved into a new townhome on May 22nd and I've been helping them out for some time now. Mommy and Daddy have helped them pack and unpack too. Grandma moved about 1.5 miles away, so I'll get to see her more often now.


It was such a hot day on Saturday that we all decided to get in the pool. This is the first time I've been in our pool since last September! It was a blast. Thanks to Aidan for my cool new swimsuit and shirt that he gave me for my birthday. Mommy tried sitting me on the float that I loved so much last year, but I kept trying to crawl off it. I really wanted to get into the water.


After Mommy set me on the steps to take a picture I dove forward and got my wish! This is how happy I was after diving in face first!


Here I am relaxing after my swim. It was a long day!

Happy Birthday Charlotte!

My friend Charlotte turned one on Saturday. I went to her party to help her celebrate. I played at her big brother's train table with her cousin, Ava while she opened some of her presents.


Here is Charlotte and her Mimi posing in front of her cake. Charlotte's mom made her a special cake. This is the one for the adults, but mommy let me have some of it.


Here Charlotte decided to have a mini-meltdown as I was saying goodbye. Why do my dates always end like this?

A work in progress....our Koi Pond

Daddy decided last year that he wanted to redo our Koi pond. Mommy accidentily killed all the Koi last year when she lost track of time while adding water to the pond when she was nursing me.

Anyways, Daddy has decide to rip up the old Koi pond and rebuild it to make it much bigger and neater. It is a slow process. Mommy and Daddy work on it for an hour or so when they can find the time. Yesterday they finally got the liner and water out of the pond. I did what I could to help. I moved some of the smaller rocks into the grass for them. I did like leaning over the edge to check out the progress, and I ended up getting quite muddy. I had a bath after that before heading to Charlotte's Party.

My First "Big Boy" Bath!

Now that I'm one, Mommy and Daddy decided to let me try sitting in the tub all by myself. Before I was using a seat that helped me from tipping over. They got some special fishies and stuck them on the bottom of the tub to help keep me from slipping. I love pointing them out to Mommy. I love the water and especially splashing in it. I also like to check out the fireman duck that is in the tub and the lever underneath him causes the water to drain out. Mommy doesn't like me playing with that though. I guess I better enjoy this big tub while I can until I have to start sharing with Deuce.

Off and Running....well Almost!

Last Sunday I really started to use my hippo to get around with. I love to walk behind it and sometimes I get going too fast and I fall down to my knees. I get frustrated when my hippo gets stuck against the wall and I scream until somebody comes to move it for me. Hopefully soon I'll learn how to turn it around myself. In the past week I've already gotten much better at walking and I hardly fall down anymore. This is helping me work on my walking. Soon I'll be off and running....

Hair Cut # 2

It's been almost two weeks since Mommy cut my hair. I needed an all over trim, and Mommy thought she'd try to do it herself rather than take me to the salon. I think that she did a very good job considering I sat on my butt and spun around in circles while she was giving me a trim. Even after she gave me some juice and goldfish crackers I continued to spin around. Oh well, she says next time...leave it to the professionals!
