No, not a black eye, just dirt.

Playdate with Jakey

Back in June we had a playdate with my friend Jakey. He's a few months younger than me but a whole lot bigger!

First we played a lot in my water table. I got us thoroughly soaked. Good times!

Then we stripped down, dried off, and ate some crackers on the couch while watching Phineas & Ferb.

Finally it was nap time but Mommy thought we were too cute not to get a photo together!

Finally the room was done, everything was textured, painted, and the carpet installed.

There even ended up being the perfect wall to put my crib/toddler bed against!

Mommy is so glad everything is done and we have a whole extra room to use. Too bad my big bubba spends most of the time he's over in it playing video games. Mommy says it's "her new room" and she's spent the least amount of time in it, but we did only get the couch 3 weeks ago so there's plenty of time to enjoy it with me!

More framing and work into our master bedroom so they could install a new beam.

Finally the drywall was hung!

Family Photos

A few weeks ago, Mommy and Daddy took me to the beach to have our picture taken with our whole big crazy family. This included Bubba and Sissy, their mommy and stepdaddy Jon, and their other brothers (and my brothers from another mother) Brogan and Kellen. This very nice lady named Carla came to take the photos and was super patient with me even though the adults screamed and scared me when big waves were coming in (no one remembered to look up the tides). We will eventually have our photos printed and framed at the house, but you can see a few of them on Carla's blog: http://carlatoson.blogspot.com/2010/04/san-diego-sunset-family-portrait.html

Easter

Find an egg...pick it up. Carry around basket with eggs in one hand and additional egg in the other hand.

Dump all the eggs out back onto the ground...

Hold the monkey basket up so Mommy can attempt to take one picture with my adorable face in it. I keep telling her she needs to just cave and use the big camera with the high speed shutter instead of her little portable cameras.

I didn't really understand Easter egg hunting until Daddy opened the "eggs" for me to show me the candy inside. Jelly beans were my favorite. I eventually started looking for the eggs again, but would shake them to see if it made a jelly bean sound before deciding whether to give the egg to Daddy to open or just throw it back on the ground.
