Mom, Can You Get Rid of This Thing Around my Head?

Alert

Early Birthday Present

I got this lovely virus that covered my whole body in a rash. This picture doesn't even do justice to how bad it looked but you get the idea. Luckily it didn't itch me at all and as you can see I was still in good spirits. It was pretty much gone when I woke up this morning.

Me and Mom

Getting Ready for Pittsburgh in February

Taking a Break From "Super Why" for a Smile

Reading with my (big ol') Mom

Tight Squeeze

Mom isn't quite sure how I got in here without tipping over, of course eventually I did.

Ready to Carve

Why Can't I Wear This, it's only 95 Degrees outside?

Loving my Daddy

Vote

The pictures are horrible but Mom wanted to document the moment and this is the best she could do with all my running around and general lack of cooperation in following her silly instructions.

The "Octopus Hat"

Mom is always making these hats and trying to get me to try them on so she can get pictures for her website. Well today I saw this one lying on the table and had to have it on. I LOVE it so much that I will keep in on for minutes at a time. Too bad this one is already for someone so she doesn't even need a picture of it.

Hanging at Starbucks

Making Silly Faces

Feet

Mom loves my little feet when I sit like this.

Hanging out in my basket

Mom took this picture right before I flipped myself backwards and slammed my head into the cabinets behind me, the basket wasn't as much fun after that.

Bring me MORE friends mom!

For about 10 Minutes this Chipmunk was the best thing that ever happened to me

Finally Got My Smile Back

Almost Better

After a week of being really sick I'm almost back to my old self. Still a few more tears than usual and a lot of new bad habits to break since I've pretty much gotten whatever I wanted because I was so miserable.

The Only Good Thing About a 102.4 Fever, Popsicles!

I really didn't want to drop it so I needed to support my wrist with my other hand.

Serious About 'Dora the Explorer'

Dress 2

Anyone who knows my mom knows that she will obsess for a couple days and make about 10 dresses and then we'll never see the sewing machine again...

My New Dress

Here is my mom's first attempt at sewing a dress for me.

Pure Trouble

First Trip to the Library

Since my dad is a Librarian it's about time they took me to a Library. I had a lot of fun, especially jumping on the bean bags. It was even worth cracking my lip open on Mom's knee because I got some strawberry ice-cream!

Swinging

Hanging out in my dollhouse

I'm serious about my coloring

Bak Mama

Thanks for the cool tee Tom, Tia and Isiah!

I'm pretty sure you wish you had a chair like this!

Fun in the Parking Lot

I can ride my tricycle, feed the fish, pay my respects to the spirit house, all sorts of fun to be had right in our parking lot, and of course I hardly ever fall down and skin my knees...

Pool Shark

And fun with big silly hats (Chris and Meaghan's house is so cool!)

Dancing with Mom (although you can't tell from the picture, that's why I'm having so much fun)

My Favorite Part of the Week

Just like Mom I love that Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle.

Lunch w/Dad, Pooh and Doggy

Hats

I'm really tired of Mom forcing me to pose for pictures for Free-Hands, can you tell?

And even though this one isn't good enough to put on the website, Mom still thinks I look pretty cute.

Playing in my Room

It's still a work in progress but Mom and Dad finally got my room painted and put up a few decorations.

All Grown Up

Mom was getting me dressed for a play-date and this is what she came up with! Thankfully once she saw it on she thought better of the tank top and put a more respectable shirt on me, but it still made for a cute picture.

Put up Your Dukes

Another Day, Another Hat...

Guinea Pig

Mom is crocheting like a maniac for Free-Hands and she always puts these silly hats on me to see what they look like. She is mad that it is too hot in Bangkok for me to wear this one.

Serious Swimmer

Just for Fun

Mom entered me in the Yo Baby Yogurt contest. If you go to their site in the next couple of days you may get to see my picture as they scroll through recent entries. My mom is crazy so she sat in front of the computer with her camera to get a picture when I popped up on the screen.

Halloween in March

I think I'll give Mom and Dad a few more months to dress me up and make me do silly things before I start complaining. And now that I have my magic wand they better watch out...

I can't wait to be able to enjoy the view from my new room.
