Day 521: The Playground

A lot of you people are wondering what I do all day. So much stuff! The last couple of weeks Mom has been working too so I've been hanging out with my friend Alma. She's cool, and also speaks Spanish. I'm trying to pick some up myself. For instance, I used to say "WA WA!" when I was thirsty and now I say "AG UA!" only sometimes it sounds like a mix of the two. That's me drinking AG UA! from a magical spout that dispenses water freely and for as long as you can drink it. It's called a fountain and I would like one installed in my room that also sometimes spouts milk.

This fountain is at one of the many playgrounds I like to frequent. This is the one at Ft Greene Park and you'll often find me on the swings there, or on the slide, or running around stealing, I mean, borrowing toys from friends and strangers. For instance, this little pink carriage I found in the possession of a little girl yesterday. She let me use it for a few minutes and then I had to give it back. That's my least favorite part of borrowing -- returning things.

And yes, it's pink. So what?

Days 516-520: Frostburg!

We're back home after a short long trip out to Frostburg, where I spent a great couple of days hanging with granddad and grandmom. (by "short long" I mean the visit was short but the drive was long!) Mom and Dad went to see some game on Saturday so I spent the entire day playing with the grandparents -- walking around, playing at the playground, climbing stairs, throwing the ball, pointing at ceiling fans, pushing the porch swing and jumping around on that loud metal thing by the front steps. That's what Granddad is doing in the one photo. I can't quite jump yet but once I can I will definitely jump higher than that! Anyway, I had a great weekend and lots of fun. Thanks for taking care of me, guys.

P.s. - Apologies for having no photos of Grandmom. We didn't take many pictures and she's not in any of them for some reason. I think she was hiding. But she was definitely there! That might even be her hand there in the jumping picture.

Oh, OK

Now I get it.

Lollipop Kid

I don't know where I am learning these bad habits, like sticking out my tongue for the camera.

Day 515: I'm a Monkey!

So I've mastered walking, running, and smacking my head into things. What's next on the agenda? Climbing! I've become a master at getting up on everything, especially if I know there's something awesome up there, like my mom's iPhone or my dad's glasses. Apparently this is against "the rules," so I try to be sneaky and very quick about it. I usually get busted, but I find this hilarious, so I just do it again and again! Making your parents clap their hands and shout loudly is the funniest thing in the world!

On tonight's menu: SEE food.

Day 514: Dinnertime Fun

I'm having a hard time with this whole "spoon feeding" thing now. It makes me feel like a baby! I want to feed myself with the spoon, but for some reason my parents hates when I do this. So they just put it on my tray and I eat with my fingers. Half the time the food makes it into my mouth, the other half I fling it on the floor because it's really hysterical to hear the grownups going "HO, HO, HO!" Oh wait, my mom just said they're actually saying "No, no, no!" Oh well, I still crack up each time I do it.
