Hooray for Hickerts!

Great Great Uncle George came from the West Coast and Cousin Emilee came from the East Coast to visit me in a land with no coastlines in sight.

Wheatshockers

Wheat harvest came super-early this year so I hustled up to Harvey County and got a birds-eye view of the action sitting next to Grandpa on the combine, just like I did last year.

The great outdoors

I'm covered in mud, I'm sticky from the watermelon, and I smell like a combination of bug spray and sunscreen. I'd say this year's camping trip was a success!

Campfire girls

Last year Mommy carried me on her back while we went hiking during our camping trip. No change from this year's camping trip, other than Mommy had a little more of my weight to bear.

Super Saturday

Aunt Nita came all the way from Mississippi to see me this weekend. My hair can blow in the wind but not quite like hers does.

Master gardener

Somebody has to help Mommy keep all her plants alive.

Special people

Today is my last day in my current toddler room at daycare. Heather and Morgan have taken such good care of me since September and I'm sure going to miss them. Thank goodness they'll be right next door and I'll see them all the time.

Laundered problems

Whatever this device is, the possibilities of using it for mischief seem endless. Also, why am I wearing snowflake pajamas in May?

Tired baby?

 I just want to show everyone just how easy it is for me to lay down and go to sleep (but only when I'm tired).

Easily amused

What am I pointing at? Most likely options are: 

A. A duck 

B. A dog. 

C. A jogger with hair on his back.

Time for a good book

Who needs television or video games when there are so many good books out there?

Birthday boy times two

It seems like just yesterday that Westley turned one. I gave him a congratulatory hug for another great year.

Curious Helen

My level of curiosity goes way beyond that little monkey in the books.

Special storytime

Auntie Barb served as the guest narrator for tonight's bedtime stories (because who can read just one story at bedtime?), and she was awesome!

Clean punk

Bath time is also "hairstyle experimentation" time.

Like a boss

I got a new potty training seat today. First lesson: Establish who's the boss of the seat.

The Incredible Shrinking Bed

There was once a time, not too long ago, when my crib felt like a king-sized bed.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day this year was more fun than last year. I brought Grandma a homemade card (Mommy was the co-creator) and homegrown Gerbera daisies.

'Hawks, Helmets and Handlebars

My KU bike helmet is a little big right now but I'll grow into it soon.

Muffins with Mom

We had a special Mother's Day event at school today. Mommy is all about the photo opp, and I'm all about the blueberry and banana-n-nut muffins.

Playing in the bathtub

I'm always ready for bathtime, even when it's not quite time for a bath.

Behind the curtain

Who needs toys when there's perfectly good curtains to play with.

Tuckered out

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Growing sure is hard work.

(May 8, 2012)

Ups and downs

I can climb up the stairs and go down the slide all by myself now. And today I did it over, and over, and over, and over again. 

(May 7, 2012)

The shirt says it all

This t-shirt is size 3T, so it's a little big right now but I have until November to grow into it. Can't wait for Aunt Aerica and Uncle Kennedy to see it!

Hitchin' a ride

There was a Rotary cookout near Anthony so Mommy took me along to meet everyone. I made a new friend, Innslee. She gave me a ride around the farm on her Honda that I called Big Red.

Mixed media

Most of the time, I use my crayons for drawing and sketching. But when I throw my crayons all over the floor, it's called performance art.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Super Baby!

My neighbor, Bill, showed me how to take an ordinary dish towel and wear it like a cape so I could pretend to be a superhero.

Cheering section

A whole bunch of runners and walkers passed by tonight. They were out for a good cause, so I decided to cheer them on.

The water fountain

One day soon I'll be able to press down on the button and drink from the fountain at the same time.
