If the video has come through, it show me playing with my crayons in a different way. They rolled off the shelf, I got down and picked them up, monkey climbed my way back onto Daddy's chair and put them on the shelf again. This is Mama's fourth try with this particular video. Let's see if it works.

My new room

I have a big boy bed to sleep in, and new jammies from Great-grandma Bissett.



Daddy put foam letters and numbers on the floor. I like pulling them apart.


I can crawl out UNDER the support bar on the desk.

Sometimes life gives you lemons

But in northern Colorado, it's more likely to give you hail. Mama was not happy to drive home through the storm that brought this, and not thrilled to see it on the ground in the morning!

Congratulations, Daddy! (the pictures)

Pipes and drums started off the ceremony.

Daddy came up the aisle as the second to last one.

He posed with the president of Red Rocks Community College, Dr. Michelle Haney, and received his diploma case.

He's walking back to his seat and happy to be a graduate!

It was really COLD, so I went and played at Nicole's house instead.

I made up for it later, posing with Daddy.

Belated birthday pictures

My cake had a monkey on it!


Nicole blew bubbles for Abigail and I to chase. It was COLD!


Mama rescued this monkey for me


Lots of presents came out of this bag!


Watching the choo-choo train from Aunt June, Kat and Weston

Barber shop

Today I had my first barbershop hair cut. (Mama in--we still can't find the clippers, the box of screwdrivers or my metal file sorter box.) Dean is a nice guy, but I can't say that I liked the experience much. In fact, I fought the entire time. I kicked, I swung my head and I screamed.

Mama says the result looks cute, but she's hoping to find the clippers long before I need my next trim...

Leaping Pardner, Mama's behind!

I went down to Antema's house for the weekend with Daddy. I was throwing water into the air and Daddy got this shot with his phone camera! We didn't realize Pardner could jump that high.

So, I'm now officially two, and Mama has promised to upload photos once she gets them out of the camera. She has other days as well, but she's still behind.

I started at a new child care center, and I have my new teachers charmed already. There are two young boys who live two doors away from me, and they like me too.

We moved into a new apartment, with fewer stairs. There is a great playground with swings that are like chairs, and those are absolutely my favorite. My parents keep saying that I won't get tired from swinging, but I don't care. I really like it when one of my parents sits in the other swing.

I spent a week with Oma and Ompa while the movers were taking all the stuff. There's a lot of stuff. Daddy did my floor in foam cutouts of letters and numbers and I love taking them apart. Evidently my favorite number is 8, maybe because it has two circles to take out when I show it to you. All my toys and stuffed animals are here.

We do have a staircase, which is straight. I play a game with Mama and Daddy where I roll balls down the handrail, Daddy catches them at the bottom and throws them to Mama at the top, who hands them back to me. Mama thinks that we won't have all the family pictures in this particular staircase.

I do not feel well today, so I am going to sign off. Hopefully I will feel better and can make Mama get those pictures posted soon!
