Greetings friends & family...a quick little update for you all! my grandpa & grandma barge came to visit for the weekend & we had a blast!! i miss them so, but we'll be together again for easter :) it was a great weekend! we visited with the strattons-had a big yummy dinner as always! and i really entertained them all with my "roars"!! ( i have a cute little polar bear at home that "roars" and i love to mimic it!! so all weekend i was going around "roar"ing!) i'm learning all sorts of fun noises i can make with my mouth!! we went out to lunch and went to a cool toy store too! the weather was amazing! first sunny/dry day we've had in quite a while! so it was a much needed treat to run around outside a bit! they also took me shoe shopping to this really fun little shop but the nice lady there said my feet were too big for the appropriate shoes for me right now...(gee, what a surprise!) but that's okay, i some i can wear until the shoe market catches up w/ my feet! thank you to grandma & grandpa for making the trip to come visit me-i always love to see you and visit!

in general we're very excited about the springtime weather! it has been cold and rainy for long enough..i have sooo much to explore outside but my parents won't let me just yet. so i spend lots of time just gazing outside! i better go, i'm waking up from my 15 minute snooze and cruzing to find my mommy..have a wonderful day :)

this is part of my super cool tunnel from my great grandma & grandpa edwards! i love to play in it & spin around in circles! my kitties crawl thru it too ! oh what fun!

holy cow video takes a long time to load!

here's my bathtime boogie..

here's me at my uncle luke's house with grandma mary...we stayed overnight at his place and had lots of fun!!

this is a peek into my library of laughs!..i'm eating lunch w/ mommy & she's playing my favorite game of peek-a-boo to get me to giggle! my new favorite now is wrinkling my little nose as high as i can get it to go & pushing air in & out of my nose real fast w/ squinty eyes!!..quite a hoot! i haven't let them catch it on video yet though!

i've been keeping busy, chasing my kitties & helping unload the dishwasher (i discovered the coolest device yesterday in there, four little metal spoons-all different sizes to boot!-i can shake them and spin them and hold them in many different angles...it was amazing!!!) i also like to help with laundry (i hide treasures for my mommy & daddy to find in the dirty clothes!) i especially enjoy chasing the broom around..i am faster now so i can help sweep instead of just supervising!!

also i wanted to mention that i melted my mommy's heart at my little buddy class( the mommies & babies class) last week! i gave another little friend (his name is landon and i really like him!) a hug, then i went back for more and we hugged again..all the mommies in class thought that was pretty special!..then, a bit later i hugged another little friend!! when we went again i was more shy than normal, but i struted my stuff across the floor and made my audience gasp...yea, i'm the man ;)

i'm working on mastering this walking business! it is a bit challenging!! but i love it! mostly b/w three to five steps at a time and i try to run instead of walk...guess i'll have to work on that! better go for now..rest up for my next big adventure! ps, mommy & daddy say hi! (they say it quite often now to me since i am waving too!! love you, talk to you soon :)

Hello everyone-

First of all, my mommy would want me to tell you that it snowed really big flakes today. They looked like pancakes falling from the sky, which made my daddy pretty hungry. The big news today though was that I went to Ikea with mommy, daddy, and grandma. It was really big, and daddy thought "the floorplan was irritating, irrational, and hard to navigate." In other words he got lost. He apparently doesn't care for Swedish people or their affordably priced merchandise. Then we went to lunch where I must say I was a very good boy, and I got a balloon. When we got home mommy and I took a really hard nap while daddy watched his Cougs blow it again. I'm making a promise to all of you that I will practice real hard on my free throw shooting because I don't want daddy to yell at me like he did at the basketball guys on T.V. Then I decided that I was tired of taking baths and that it was time to start taking showers. Mommy and daddy don't agree, but I usually seem to get what I want, just look at me. That's all for now, I will talk to all of you later!
