Uncle Anthony's Visit!

My Daddy's brother, Uncle Anthony, or "Antny" as I call him, came for a visit this weekend. Guess what!!! So did Pops and Nana, but they just stayed Friday night. I had so much fun! Pops and I went on a wagon ride and on Saturday, Daddy and Uncle Anthony took me hiking at Umstead Park. I had a blast exploring sticks, leaves and rocks while Mommy was at the flea market with Pops and Nana. I love it when my family comes to visit!

Mommy thought I should take a minute and tell you what I'm up to right now... I'm talking like crazy and add new words daily. Some of Mommy's and Daddy's favorites are: "Hold you" when I want to be picked up, "Curkle" for circle, "Ge-ate" for great, and "Eight." I am obsessed with the number eight! When Mommy takes me to Bojangles, I point to the letter "B" in Bojangles and shout "eight, eight!" And anytime Mommy and Daddy have me repeat numbers after them, when they get to six, I just start shouting "eight, eight!" Forget the number seven! I really enjoy singing and thanks to Mrs. Anna, Ty's Mommy, I am in love with the "Beaver Song." Some of my other favorites are "Wheels on the Bus," "This Little Light of Mine," and "If You're Happy and You Know It." I'm also in love with my choo-choos and Mommy loves to hear me say, "Chugga-Chugga, Choo-Choo!" My train track has a permanent location on the kitchen table now, but Mommy said she's ready for me to have a train table of my own! I love playing outside on the slides and kicking my balls all over the backyard! And finally, whenever we go to Wal-Mart, I absolutely must sit with the "Puppy" a.k.a "Snoopy."

Pat, Pat, Pat.... Blast Off!!!

For Halloween, Mommy and Daddy dressed me up as Leo from Little Einsteins. I had the whole getup, black shirt, orange shorts, green glasses and spiked hair! Mommy and Daddy even added red wings to my Radioflyer wagon as Rocket! If you haven't seen Little Einsteins, I was the spitting image of Leo! Check out my Leo toy in the pics and you'll see! Before trick-or-treating I went across the street to see my buddy "Av," she was a very sassy pumpkin! I had so much fun trick-or-treating with my buddies Emily, Kate, Ryan and Madeline. We went to so many houses and I got tons of lollipops or "pops" as I like to call them. Instead of saying trick-or-treat, I just said "treat" and then "achoo" for thank you. After the trick-or-treating, I was so tired that I hopped right into my carseat when Daddy opened the door to put something away... I'll tell you a secret, I wasn't tired, I was just ready for another "pop!"

Happy Birthday Ry-Ry!

My buddy Ryan turned two a couple of weeks ago and I got to go to his house and eat cake and swing at a pinata! What fun! My Daddy helped Ryan's sister Madeline swing at the pinata and it was hillarious! Mommy said she was concerned that Madeline would have whiplash the next morning because she and Daddy swung so hard! Ryan's Mommy Mrs. Lauren passed out these Elmo hats for us to wear, but I thought mine looked better on Daddy. What do you think?
