Mountain Dew Power Struggle

Daddy and I took a walk today so Mommy could get the house in order.  Since Mommy curtails his soft drink intake he always buys one when we are out.

And then drinks it in front of me without letting me have any!

Not today though.  Sometimes you have to fight for your right for certain things!

Eventually I got a partial victory because Mommy let me suck the top so I would calm down a bit.

I figure if I can keep pushing the envelope I will eventually become a regular Mt. Dew drinker.  It might take a few more outbursts though.

Yard Work With Papo

As I move from being a baby to a toddler I'm realizing I'm going to need to pull my weight a little more.  No goldbricks in this family!

So when Papo was doing yard work I volunteered and got right to work.

Nothing like a good days work for a little guy.  Maybe next time I will get to use the lawn mower or weed wacker!

You Will Be Mine Potty!

After seeing it flushed and watching it fill itself a number of times the potty is undeniably the most fascinating piece of furniture in the house.

Unfortunately, like the fire it is just as off limits.

But you can't put a screen around the potty the way you can the fire Daddy!

I am bound and determined to flush something down it!

He turned his back and I grabbed Mommy's massage ball and threw it in but Daddy stopped me before I could flush it.

Just wait till next time Daddy!

Somethings going down!

Mommy and Daddy's first Date

Turns out there was a time when it was just Mommy and Daddy.  All of a sudden I appeared and the family became three but it turns out there were a couple of years where I didn't even exist.  Very hard to wrap my little head around that one.

So before most babies are created the Mommy and Daddy at least go on a couple of dates.  Today, we went to the place where they had their FIRST date.

Granted it used to be an Italian Restaurant called Salute and now it is a Greek place called Mazi Taverna but the address remains the same.  Apparently on their first date it was all about them but this time I was the center of attention.  They did snuggle a bit when they remembered this was the place.

Apparently most babies require at least one date to be created.  Glad they got through their first one well.

Wipe Out!

It was kind of like hitting the "Off" Switch tonight.  I ran pretty hard today.  But come 7:30 it was like someone in my body decided I had had enough and pulled the plug.  Phew!

I never thought I'd have my butt in the air in the living room.  Usually that symbolizes going into a deep sleep.  I just usually reserve it for the bed . . . not the ottoman.

Strangely, I still have a feeling I will be mysteriously waking-up in my crib tomorrow.

Life is full of mysteries.

Kale Mustache

Mommy made some Kale today.  It makes it into my mixed food often but I've never had it by itself.  Today I had my chance in the form of Kale Chips.

Kind of liking the taste and definitely the fashion statement that was created.  I can't wait till I can grow a mustache on my own.

I'm thinking it is about eighteen years from now though.

Magnum P.I. is in my future for sure!

Who Needs a Shake Weight if you Have a Baby!

Ever since I have started walking Daddy has lost a bunch of weight.  He became about as plump as me when I was a little baby but now he is trim.

I see this ad on TV for a Shake Weight.  It kind of simulates what I am in Daddy's hand but I'm in motion more.

Come on Daddy, just a few more minutes hoisting me everyday and I'm sure you'll be happy walking around topless and in spandex like the guys on the ads.

Enjoying being an all purpose Shake Weight for Daddy's benefit!
