NEWS FLASH:

I LOVE GOATS.

A few months ago, mommy and dada did a brilliant thing. They bought me a zoo membership. This is good because I love amulsh (animals). Jungle Jack Hanna has assembled a world-renowned collection of rare and endangered species from all over the world, but I pretty much just love the GOATS! And the aquarium. And the monkeys. And the tiger.

This is me on one of the ho-sheesh (horses). Jeez, Mom, take the training wheels off already - I got this.

This is me feigning fear of the beer (bear). I wasn't really scared.

Uncle Bri-een and Ann got to haul me around while I took in the sights. You can't see it in this picture, but there was a masseuse there, too. In case I got tight.

Here I am explaining to Dada why I prefer watching a tiger sleep to watching a hammy (elephant) who was actually walking around any day. I like to do my tiger walk and roar to demonstrate.

Here I am reading to my Uncle Brian. He and I are always sharing a laugh. He's going to law school, which means when I turn 16, he'll buy me a Porsche. I just know he will. He and Ann love to hang with the Sadester.

If there's one place where I feel truly at peace, it's in my GG's yard. Here I am appreciating the lovely day.

Anne Geddes, eat your heart out. I'm downright cherubic.

I think this is when I realized that I had lost a contact.

Excuse me, Mr. Caterpillar - will you turn into a butterfly please?

I love exploring. Almost everything fascinates me. And there's no better place for exploring than at my GG's. They have been so much fun, letting me crash at their place when mommy has classes. I love you, GG and gg!

Admiring the flerrs (flowers). This one almost looks like a butterfly!

One needs to hydrate.

I'm off!

Hi guys! (I say that a lot now. It's cuter than you'd think. And that's assuming you'd think it was really cute.)

I am particularly fond of kicks (sticks). Which makes sense, because they are awesome.

I like Henry. He gets me. In trouble!

Can't catch me!
(Well, probably you can. It's just a figure of speech, man.)

What?

Ladder ball, schmadder ball. Step aside.

Daddy and Cold (Cole). I am especially impressed by Cole. I will stare at him for long stretches of time. He and I have become great friends. You wouldn't think an ex-miltary guy would be all that cuddly, but the world is full of surprises. I like to ask him, as people walk by, "Hey, could you beat that guy up? What about that guy?"

The answer is, of course, always YES.

Mister Anthony and Aunt Molly. Aunt Molly laughs so much that's impossible not to have fun when she's around. She's also an established smoocher and hugger. Mister Anthony is a published journalist, and probably a giant. Which is also cool.

My dada and my GG. Two guys I like a whole bunch. One of them spoils me. Guess which one!

Just thinking about goats again.

My GG loves to say, "Whoa horse!"

There's my contact!

In this shot, I am making my cousin June jealous by flaunting by ladder ball jewelry. She expressed her envy by being cute. Typical.

Aunt Jill, seen here sucking the snake venom from a fresh bite in my cousin (she survived, though she had to relocate to the deep south to recuperate in the warm weather), is another one of my peeps. Aunt Jill is going back to school soon, and I will miss her.

He misses it.

Dada (seen here posing with his favorite propane tank) is wearing the shirt of a beer he's never had. Enough said.

We're about ready to start somethin' in this picture. I'm not gonna say what it was, but it just might be illegal. It was definitely cool.

Blog catch-up time!

This is a picture of me in February - I am 15 months old.

I thought that all the petals fell out of the flower and I wanted to put them back.

I wanted to stand up on the rocking chair and Mmmy wouldn't let me. This picture was snapped jsut before I was able to get my footing and Mommy swept in and took me off.

I love swinging!

This is at the park we used to walk to from our apartment.

Hello! I like to talk on the phone to Daddy and Grandma!

Here I am helping Mommy with the laundry. I am trying to put on my hat.

This is my first time trying pancakes! Mommy put strawberries and whipped cream on them. Yum-my!

I get to eat all of this!

Here we are at my friend Garrison's First birthday party. Can you believe he gave everyone cool shades like this! Best party ever!

There were BALLOONS!

(As you can see, Mommy forgot the sippy cup, so I was dringking water out of a regular cup.)

Hey Daddy this party rocks!

Here is the inside of our new house. The furniture is not ours, but I get to keep the piano.

Mommy and Daddy love this house because they say it is very "Frank Lloyd Wright-ish" I love it because you can be chased around the kitchen and come out on the other side.
