Lazy Summer Days

Hi everyone,

The days have been warm and sunny and the mornings have been crisp and bright. It feels like it is already moving into fall and we aren't even out of August yet! We've spent some lazy days feeding the ducks, walking the dog, and playing at the park. Ahhhhh, I love the relaxing feel of long summer days.


Until next time . . .

Weekend Happenings

Hi everyone,

For the last month mommy and I have been hanging out alone on the weekends because daddy has had to work seven days straight through each week. Ugh for daddy, but at least we got to have some fun!

Last weekend we went to a car and yacht show in one of our neighboring towns. After checking out the sweet rides we headed over to a local market to have some lunch. Woo hoo to having a corn dog and french fries for lunch. Nummy, nummy! And for a special treat mommy let me pick the flavor of the ice cream cone that we got to share. Even though I'm still not doing much of any dairy, I slurped down as much of that bubble gum cone as I could get my little tongue on!


I also finished my very first summer reading program through our city library. I love reading, but to get prizes for reading books that I would have read anyway, now you're talkin'!


Until next time . . .

Cookie Monster

Hi everyone,

We had a rainy, gray morning yesterday so we decided to stay in and bake sugar cookies! It's been a long time since we've baked cookies. Mommy bought me a new train cookie cutter a few days ago and I've been chomping at the bit to try it out. The hardest part was making up the dough and then letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours. At least most of the wait was during my nap time!

Here I am carefully rolling out the dough. We only had one casualty where I fell off the step stool sideways and the rolling pin and I ended up crashing to the floor. After a few tears I popped right back up and got to rolling again.

Before learning portion control!After learning portion control. (Notice the period instead of the exclamation mark denoting that it was not so exciting to control your portion of sprinkles.)

Ta da. Are they cool enough yet? Are they cool enough yet? Are they cool enough yet? That is not even close to how many times I asked that question.

Mmm, mmm, good! Sorry I already have some in my mouth in this picture but they were so good I couldn't even wait to take another bite before I finished chewing the first one.

Until next time . . .

Fancy Pants

Hi everyone,

Yes sir, you saw right, no diapers for me! For three weeks now I have been going potty in the toilet and and wearing underpants!

I think it was rough those first few days for Mommy. There was so much freedom in running around without clothes and I think I felt a little too free. We had a few potty incidents outside the bathroom but at least it was usually on the linoleum so it was easier to clean up. But by day 3 everything was under control and I haven't looked back since. It was like I was born to do this!


Until next time . . .
