Sammy came over for lunch and we played
Hullabaloo. I like playing with the big kids. Especially when
they play Elefun or Hullabaloo. Mommy was really excited when I stood
on a purple pad after the voice in the box instructed me to do so. I
guess she didn't think that I could identify the color purple.
Obviously, I showed her.
I get to participate in many of the play
dates that Rachel hosts or attends. This is great because when we go I
get to play with a variety of toys. I especially like train tables,
sensory tables, and electronic toys that other people have. In
addition to my first love, vehicles of course and everybody has an
assortment of those. And when we host, I always benefit from special
snacks or activities like frosting cookies or cupcakes and the like.
It's good to be the little brother.
"Playing like a Big Kid"

I like hats. I also like playing in
Rachel's kitchen. Tonight it was my turn to be chef, cooking up some
tasty treats for my family. I also like pretending to eat my
delicacies. When I do so, I make very audible pretend chewing sounds
as I smack my tongue against the roof of my mouth. This is then
usually followed by me really trying to chomp on whatever pretend food that
I might be holding. I haven't quite given up on putting everything in
my mouth whether it be toys at music class or the side of the shopping cart
(yes cart - yuck says Mommy). It's a wonder that stay as healthy as I
do.
Rachel and I have decided to be really
nice to Mommy and Daddy. On the weekends we let them sleep in for a while.
Rachel usually wakes up first and reads in her room until I wake up. Then
she joins me and puts MOST of my toys in my crib. On this particular
weekend. Mommy and Daddy slept in until 9:15 - almost a crime in my
opinion.
"Chef Pogany, I hope that you're going to wash that thumb
before cooking!"

I had my 18 month wellness visit and you
may just want to sit down for what I am about to tell you...I gained two
whole pounds in less than a month! I know it seems impossible to
believe (Mommy made them weigh me twice) but it's true I am officially 22
lbs.! Clearly those crackers on Christmas Eve helped rather than
hindered. This puts me at the 6th percentile which is still nothing to
brag about but hey I finally made it on the charts! Hooray! I am
also measuring 31 1/2 inches. Growing I am.
We went to lunch with Pa before my
appointment and they gave Rachel and I monkey masks. I got a green one
and Rachel got a pink one. If Pa can learn how to take the photos off
of his camera phone, I'll share the great photo he took of me as a green
monkey!
"Something to Smile About"

I rocked New Years over at Cassie and
Shaun's house all the way until 10:30! I could have kept going but
Rachel was growing tired. I guess that's to be expected now that she's
reached the ripe old age of 3. One of my favorite parts about New
Years in addition to Cody the Dog, and Liz was the chocolate fondue with
pound cake. As you can see I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Grandma Gigi got Rachel and I an easel and
a bunch of art supplies to go with it. I painted my very first picture
this week. It's lovely and has joined the many works of Art by Rachel
in our new art display room. Mommy has miraculously transformed our
"extra" room's boring faux brick white walls into an inspiring kaleidoscopic
medley. Gone are the days of extra storage and recycling as our easel
now occupies its place.
