Days 556-560: Hi there

I'm sorry I haven't been updating nearly as much lately, but I've been very busy putting stickers on my face and hair.

Days 554-555: Puppy!

I made a new friend this week. His name is "Puppy" and it turns out he's been sitting up there, on my couch, all this time and I never gave him a chance. Now that I've found him, though, I'm never letting him go. To get the word out, I ran around for a couple hours yesterday just yelling "PUPPY!" so that everyone is aware that he's part of the gang now. I even introduced him to Lamby and they're getting along so well. Lamby isn't jealous in the slightest.

Day 553: World's Cutest Turtle

As promised, here's my costume! Adorable, right? I can't tell you how many people asked to take my photo, or stopped and said something like "AW, LOOK. WHAT A CUTE LITTLE TURTLE!" Who am I to argue?

If I'd known how much attention I'd get for it, I would never have complained the first time Mom made me wear it. Now I love it so much I'm going to post a whole gallery of photos of me in the turtle suit!

Day 552: Mama!

It was really nice to have Mama and Auntie Steph come visit. I see a lot of them down in Florida, but rarely up here in NYC, so it was pretty fun to show off my Brooklyn toys and friends. It was also fun to play lots and lots with Mama's iPad (I even spelled it right, with the little "i"!). We read this cool little book that made noises and did cool things when I touched the little animals. I hope for Xmas she gets me my own baby iPad! Okay, Dad says that is not an acceptable request. Apparently, I have to wait until I'm old enough to serve in the armed forces to own my own iPad. Maybe I can just play with it lots and lots? I'm sorry you couldn't stay to see my sweet turtle costume. I was a big hit around town. I miss you guys.

Days 548-552: Happy Halloween!

Hello, peoples! It's Halloween, and I don't have any adorable photos of me in my costume -- yet! Nor do I have updates of my fun weekend with Mama and Auntie Steph -- yet! I will be back tomorrow with more. In the meantime, here's a picture involving something else awesome and orange -- mac n' cheese!

Days 546-547: Happy hump day

I'm told they call Wednesday "hump day," because it's the hump in the middle of the week that you have to get over in order to start coasting downhill towards the weekend. Frankly, I don't get all the fuss about weekends. Saturday and Sunday don't seem any more special than the other days. But I don't make these things up. So, happy hump day! If you're wondering what I'm so happy about in this photo, the answer is simple: apples. APPLES! I love those things.

Day 545: Oh, Right. We Also Did This!

The carousel. I forgot about the carousel! This is the second straight weekend we went on a carousel ride. This time it was an older one, that went really fast. So fast that it seemed like the horses might fly off. But they didn't. I think I liked last week's carousel better, though.

On Sunday we did more walking, and found this really pretty park down by the bridges. It had a great view! And also this little brat in a cable-knit sweater who kept hogging the slide. I tried to just slide into him and knock him off but he was solid and it didn't work.
