Another Trip with the Aunties!!

Here I stopped to pose for a picture for Auntie Hea as I was playing in the water fountain at Saturday Market in Portland. I love to hang out with my aunties and watch all the weird people!















I love my Aunt Mandy! She can always make me happy when I am a little cranky. She knows just how to make me laugh!















This guy made me a dog-dog out of a balloon!! He had his face painted and was just sitting on the side of the street! Like I said...I love Portland.








For lunch we got to listen to some really cool music. I enjoyed putting on my own show for the people sitting around us. I love to dance, and I guess I am pretty good because people around us kept saying how cute I am!














After lunch my aunties took me to the Waterfront to watch all the boats on the water. They let me run around too...with hopes to tire me out for my nap.
















One last ditch effort to run around with my aunties! I was so tired after all the fresh air. I fell asleep in the car and slept for 3 hours when I got home! My mommy had to wake me up I was so sleepy.

I LOVE BUBBLES!!!

My mommy is so good at blowing bubbles!! I love to run in the middle of them and let them fall all around me. Bubbles are so much fun!










Aunt Mandy is good at bubbles too. Well...not as good as mommy, but I still like playing with her.











I am a big boy...I can blow these bubbles myself!! I think Aunt Mandy broke it because it isn't working anymore...

Gotta Love Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Pudding!!

I love to help mom in the kitchen when she is making my homemade pudding! This is one of my favorites...Pumpkin Pudding!! I love to lick the spatula. Maybe a little more cinnamon mom!









Now it is on to lunch! My aunt Mandy took my shirt off to save on the mess. Unfortunately I am one of the whitest kids in the world! Good thing my girlfriends from daycare aren't around. But this peanut butter sandwich sure is good.








I don't know why they ruin a perfectly good meal by making me take a bath! I wish Aunt Mandy and Auntie Hea were here still so I could give them a big KISS!!








I love bath-time with Mom and Dad. We have so much fun getting me clean. They always make me laugh.











Back to a clean slate to get dirty again tomorrow! Don't worry...I won't have a problem recreating my masterpiece.

Workin' and Playin' with Dad!!

You want me to do what!? I'm outta here! Dad...I don't think I can lift that shovel. I'm only 16 months old!


















This is my kind of work. I love going for rides in the wheelbarrow. I think I slowed down mom and dad's day of yard-work, but we all had fun in the end.















After a day of work, there should always be a little bit of time for play! I can't wait to go golfing with dad when I am a little bigger. But for now, I will work on my grip in the house...














I am getting so good, I can swing the golf club with just one hand. Let me out on that golf course!! However sometimes I get a little wild and Cayenne runs for cover.















What is left after a good day of work and a little bit of play?? Snugglin' with Dad!! I am exhausted. Just need a little sleep and then we can start all over again tomorrow!!

A Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Ebert

Grandma and Grandpa Ebert came all the way from Wisconsin to visit me. I had so much fun seeing them. I love to read books before I go to bed. It calms me down from my exciting day!












I wish Grandma and Grandpa could visit more often. We had such a good time playing. Maybe next time I can go see them at their house!!















I love getting kisses from Grandma! Since I don't get to see her much, I was on my best behavior while they were here.

Those Darn Baby Teeth!!

I have heard my public wants new pictures on my blog. Do you see these rosy cheeks and runny nose? I'm not making this stuff up. But I'm still cute with those dimples...










When my new teeth are trying to break through, nothing beats a bottle and a snuggle with my aunt Mandy!















I love to read with my aunt Mandy. This is one of my favorite books! My aunt Mandy does such a good job with the noises of the animals in my books. She can really get me laughing!














OH MY GOSH!!! I didn't know that happened to the duckling!!!!














Did someone say something about the park? I don't understand why nobody is standing up. I brought everybody their shoes...
somebody...please? anybody? hello? I'm ready to go...

Stack Em' Up and Knock Em' Down

I have been working on stacking my blocks all by myself. But...it is more fun to knock them down when my Aunt Mandy would stack them.















Playing with my Aunt Mandy, I was cracking myself up by rolling around in the blocks so she couldn't stack them up.










With my fans all around me, I have them all under complete control. Every time I start clapping, they all start clapping too! I have them all wrapped around my little finger.














After a long day of fun with my public, I got really tired. So, I figured I would lay down for a little rest in the middle of the floor.









Once I rested up a bit, I was ready for round two with my Aunt Kattie. She was in Portland visiting me for her Christmas break. It was so fun having her stay with us for a couple weeks. I wish she would come to live in Oregon!!

Merry Christmas To One and All!!!

I love Christmas!! I got to see my aunties TWO days in a row. My Grandma Burnell made me this outfit for my first "Big Boy" Christmas. It came with a jacket too, but I am on the move so much...I had to take it off. Thank you Grandma!!!

Here I am in the full outfit! Don't I look so cute? I know I have said it before, but I AM ADORABLE!!! (I don't really know what that means, but my mommy and aunties say it quite a bit!)

My Grandma Burnell also made me this cool farm with all of the animals.

I really started to get the hang of this opening presents thing!! Sometimes my mommy had to help me though.

My Grandma and Grandpa Ebert got me this great toy for Christmas! I love to flip the lids up and then push them back down again. It took awhile to get my attention away from this toy to finish opening the rest of my presents.



















My mommy and daddy got me this toy to play with. It is the perfect size for me. I like to run back and forth in the living room and watch the bear bang on the drum. My mommy and daddy know just what I like!!

My Great Grandma Boge got me this cozy sweatsuit for Christmas. It is days like this that I wish I could dress myself.

More Fun with the People I Love!!

I love it when my Aunt Mandy comes to visit me. Even when I am in a bad mood, she cheers me up. I love to give people "five"...although sometimes I get so excited it ends up being "ten"!















My mommy is so funny. I really like playing with her and having my mommy time. My parents are really fun to play with.











My mommy knows just where to tickle me. She can make me laugh without even tickling me. Just seeing her hand coming towards me makes me giggle!







I know it is ridiculous how cute I am. All I have to do is flash my dimples and I can get anything I want. My Auntie Hea was not excited about my outfit when she came over. She is a Colts fan with some guy named Peyton. But once I smiled...she forgot all about my shirt!













My Grandma Burnell made me a cool John Deere Hat for Christmas. It fits perfect!!!













Sometimes I have very important phone calls that I have to take. I was in the middle of playing with my mom when I got a phone call I couldn't pass up. It is difficult being in such high demand all the time.













I like to carry about my mommy and daddy's shoes. My dad has really big shoes, so it is easier to carry around my mom's shoes.

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

My Grandpa Boge and Grandma Cindy came out to see me all the way from Michigan!! I was shy at first because I wasn't feeling very well. But I warmed up fast because they were FUN!









My Grandpa Boge played blocks with me while he was here. Even though I was sick, I like playing with my Grandpa Boge. I wish he would come visit me more often!





My nose was super runny while I was sick. But Grandpa Boge had a really soft hanky that he used to get my runny nose. It was much softer than the scratchy tissues my Aunt Mandy uses!







I love my Grandpa Boge and my mommy! I had so much fun. Now I know what they are talking about when they say I have "Boge eyes".
