Helping Mom with Dinner

My new boots

I love the new rain boots that I got from Elsa, Aunt Katy, and Uncle Joe. I call them my "garden boots". Just like Grandpa!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Keith!

I wore my Red Sox sweatshirt in your honor last night. The temperature is in the 80's today, so it is not a sweatshirt day.

My Second 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated my birthday at the zoo with two special friends and their parents. (Photo courtesy of Uncle Joe.)

Waiting for the animal show to start.

This was the only picture Mommy could get with the three of us in it. Well, except for the one where it looked like I was tackling Abby and Elsa (really just a hug).

More cake! I love birthdays! Actually, this time I was more interested in the candles... and the ice cream, which we didn't have at my other birthday party.

Checking out Candyland. (Thank you, Abby!) Elsa is eager for me to open the box, which she knows contains four fun puppets.

Playing under the rug

Happy Birthday to Me!

I helped Grandma make my birthday cupcakes.

Mmmm... Those cupcakes were good!

Worn out after playing really, really hard. Who knew balloons could be so much fun?!

Grandma pulled me around the living room in my new wagon.

Mom went one step further.

My self-proclaimed birthday hat.

Talking to Daddy

Mom thought this was very cute. I am listening to Daddy's message on the answering machine and telling him what I am going to have for lunch. I also told him about what I did with Grandma this morning, and dialed the phone to call him.

My new guitar

I got a new guitar at the city-wide garage sales. Move over, Elvis!

Snuggling with Grandma for a bedtime story.

I wouldn't smile for this picture until Mom said it was for Daddy. Hi Daddy! We miss you!
