Party time.

My birthday party was a good time. Family and friends came over and we played in the backyard, ate some BBQ and a delicious cake, and I received lots of great gifts that I can't wait to play with! Thanks, everyone, for all of the birthday wishes!

Two!

Cupcakes!

At school today we celebrated my birthday with cupcakes! My friends even sang Happy Birthday to me! I had a good last day as a one-year-old.

The baby book

Every night, Mom and/or Dad read books to me. Stuff like The Adventures of Frog & Toad, Dr. Seuss, Goodnight Moon, and one of my favorites, the First 100 Words book - or what I like to call the "Baby Book"! I ask for it every night and I know most of the photos in it.

More Cape Cod.

Just got back from Cape Cod again! This time we stayed in Brewster with our friends Ken and Tom. I played at Skaket Beach in Orleans, slept through a visit to the Chatham Lighthouse Beach, had fun at the house and on the hammock, and went to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History! I got to see frogs, toads, turtles, lobster, crab, all sorts of fish and a snake. And we all went for a walk on the trails through the marsh and into the woods toward the beach. It was a great adventure and a whole lot of fun!

Trifecta

3 things that made me happy today: my awesome Hawaiian shirt, my books, and Elmo!

Cape Cod.

I went to South Yarmouth in Cape Cod with Mom and Dad last week. We visited with "Aunt" Tory and Haley and Hellick. I played in the sand at the beach, played on the swings and the seahorse at the playground, rode the boogie-board in the ocean, and more. I can't wait to go back!

The Blackberry kid.

Mom and Dad took me to the Schenectady Farmers Market this morning. There was a 5-piece jazz band playing and lots of people buying fresh vegetables and fruits, breads, cheese, and other stuff. Dad bought cucumbers and garlic for his gazpacho recipe and some fresh mozzarella to add to his tomato salad. Mom asked the lady at the fruit stand if I could try a blackberry, since I'd never had one before. Guess what? I loved it. Then I proceeded to eat almost a half-pint of my new favorite fruit.

4-wheelin'

Like my new ride? Grandma & Pa L just couldn't wait to give me this battery-powered 4-wheeler to tear around the yard on. Don't let that look of concentration fool you – I'm having lots of fun. I could ride this thing all day.

Summer weekend fun.

No more fever, cold and cough. No more being sick, stuck in the house, watching the rain fall. This weekend was great! Pretty good weather and fun times! Mom and Dad took me to the Troy Waterfront Farmers' Market on Saturday morning, then we went to the Peerless Pool in Saratoga. On Sunday morning,we went to the Saratoga County Fair in Ballston Spa, where I saw goats and cows and horses. After that we had lunch and ice cream at Jumpin' Jack's in Scotia. It was so much fun!
