Lots of New Words and More!

It has been a busy month. I can now say that I've been to two different fairs. And boy were they different. I went to the state fair with Grandpa Carl and Mommy. We met up with Mommy's buddy Nancy and she was having fun all morning telling people I was not her Grandson. We saw baby animals there and I pet a sheep, cow, duck and chick. I liked the duck the best!

I've been learning a lot of new words. Some words get more of a reaction from people than others. Once when I dropped Mommy's sunglasses I said "Oh, shit." Everyone thought that was funny. But then when I said it later with just Mom or Dad around, nothing really happened. And then I forgot to say it.

I went to Hailey's house and spent the WHOLE night there!! IT was lots of fun! We played outside and ate mac n cheese. We danced a lot and then eventually we fell asleep. We had pancakes for breakfast and then we played in the water outside! I thought I would miss Mommy and Daddy a lot, but it wasn't that bad.

But wait, there's more!! Then, me and Hailey came home to MY house and she stayed the WHOLE night! We played tag for a long time and watched Thomas the Train before bed. Then we woke up and had cinnamon rolls for breakfast! Grandma Katy came over and stayed and played with us! We danced and danced listening to Elvis!

The next day was a holiday. We went with Grandma Karen & Grace to watch the parade! It was lots of fun and I saw tractors (backhoes), fire trucks, and police cars!! Grace was happy because she got lots of candy. I got to have some too. Mommy and I got too much sun that day though.

That afternoon we went to Grandma Katy's and saw Thomas and Aunt Carol, Uncle Tim, Aunt Mary, Hailey and Grandpa Carl too. Hailey and I rand up and down the driveway at least 1000 times.

Most people know that I have a Dr. Pepper pillow. It was Mommy's for a long time until I decided that it is mine. I sleep with it every night, unless it is in the wash which has happened more than a few times. One of Mommy's friends gave her another one! So now I have TWO Dr. Pepper pillows!! I love them both very much. I can tell which one is the new one and the old one.

[This is a file photo of me with my Dr. Pepper pillow. You will note that Hailey prefers a "taggie." She has a pink pillow like mine but her taggie is number 1.]

The next weekend we went to Aunt Chris' house for Uncle Denny's fish fry. There were lots of people there! It was the first time that I really have ever had the chance to just RUN. I liked it A LOT. In fact, I did it from 3 pm until about 9 pm. I did take a few breaks when Hailey and I watched shows on her ipad. I played with sidewalk chalk with Hailey and Thomas and then everyone else was drawing too!

Mommy's birthday was last week and I got to spend the evening with Grandma Karen! We had lots of fun running and playing. We went for a walk in the neighborhood. Mommy and I walked to the park later in the week and Daddy came to pick us up. On the way we found acorns and cherries. Soccer practice was going on and I wanted to play too. Mommy kept telling me I wasn't big enough and that the balls on the ground weren't mine to play with. I still had fun at the park though.

Yesterday we went on a road trip. We rode on a train!

It was really fun! Mommy took my picture with Daddy and then Daddy took my picture with Mommy. We walked around where all of the trains were. There was a train that was at least 10 of me high! After that, we met up with Grandma Karen, Aunt JohAnna and our buddie Gracie. She taught me a new phrase..."Aww Man!!"

Newer Words I can say:
Please, Thank You (do doo), Hi, NO, Mine, More, Airplane, Tractor, "B", "2", Aww, Man, Bless You** (**and not just when you sneeze, a cough, burb or other noise can bring on this word), Binky (birk-eh)
