I had fun checking out ths bird feeder by the marsh. It was also cool checking out all the frogs back there.

This is us playing freeze tag.

Here's the family! We're missing my dad and my Uncle Ryan and Uncle Jason.

This is my Uncle Kelly. He was helping play kick ball with all the kids. All of my cousins came over and we played kick ball, freeze tag, volley ball and my Auntie Annie brought over a CD. We practiced the chicken dance, hokey pokey and YMCA. I'm getting ready to rip it up on the dance floor for my Auntie's wedding.

This is my Auntie Natalie. She's getting married on Friday and I'm counting down the days! You can't see very well, but I fell this morning and I have a bruise right next to my eye and it looks like someone beat me up. It hurt pretty bad.

This is my cousin Alyona. I went to visit her and her mom Carol Ann. She was dancing with me and I had a great time!

I woke up with a cold yesterday morning and this morning it was particularly bad. I couldn't breathe out my nose so I decided to wake up early, at 6am. Mom wasn't too excited about it, but we came downstairs and she read a few books to me. That's the only way I will sit still with someone. They have to read to me. Here we are reading "Birthday Monsters" by Sandra Boynton. It's one of my favorites. I really like her "Doggies" book, especially when Kevin Miles reads it to me. He has the best barks of anyone! I like "Belly Button", "But Not the Hippopatamus", "Hey, Wake Up","Barnyard Dance", "My Mama's a Lama", "Twinkle, Twinkle", "Pat-A-Cake", and that's all I can remember for now. My Auntie Natalie's wedding is in less than a week and I can't wait to wear my tux for it. I'm going to be so handsome!

My Great Grandpa is showing me all the different shapes on this toy. Great Gram and Gramps had mom, Auntie 2M, Auntie Annie and me over for lunch. We had loose meet sandwiches, yum! I ate a whole bunch of fruit, too. I got into all kinds of trouble knocking picture frames over, pushing the tv buttons, knocking over candles. It was great fun!

A friend of my Great Grams makes these little quilt squares and I wanted to play with them. Gram tried to put them on my arms so I could easily walk around with them on. I kept taking them back off and throwing them on the ground and picking them back up. It was a fun little game while it lasted.

My Great Grandma Wickman makes these scarves and so I had to try one on. I didn't really like it that much. As you can see...I'm trying to get it off. Everyone else thought it was pretty funny.

Today I went to the Adventureland. I had so much fun. I rode the tea cups, carousel, and the train. Here I'm in a fire truck all by myself like a big boy. They wouldn't let mom and Great Gram ride with me, so I went by myself and I liked it. It goes round and round in circles. I also ate some donuts and french fries. Mom was worried I might not be able to keep it down with all the twirling, but I managed.

Here we are looking at the bushes.

Papa Pearson took me out back his house to walk around the orchard and look at the marsh. There's a ton of frogs out there. It's cool to listen to them. He also showed me all the trees and the plants and flowers. We had a good time.

Here I am with my Great Grandpa Pearson. They came over to visit for awhile the other day. I also met them for coffee one morning and I'm going to lunch at the tea room with my Great Grandma tomorrow. So much to do...

This is my Papa Pearson. He's been meeting us up at the bakery for coffee lately. It's pretty fun. I'm their greeter. I say hi and smile to everyone that walks in and they all think it's pretty funny so I keep doing it. I've made lots and lots of friends.

Give me that camera!!!

I've been playing with a cream that fell underneath this table. I was trying so hard to get it out from underneath. I figured out how to pull the table away from the wall, but didn't think to walk around. Instead, I crawled underneath and got stuck. I got myself in downward facing dog position and walked underneath, got my cream, and kept walking out the side. Mom thought it was pretty funny.

Business in the front, party in the back! I think I need my wings cut!

Hee! Hee! I now have 3 teeth on the bottom and another one coming in and 4 on top! My favorite games these days are playing with shapes that fit into a box. I don't usually get it through the right slot, but I like to take the top off and pull them out and put them back in. I also like to open the drawers and put my toys or crackers in it and then close it. They'll be finding toys around this house for a long time. I enjoy putting my cereal back in the box or bag. The other day I figured out how to get around the gate. Mom put up a gate at Grandma and Grandpa Pearson's house and it's not attached to anything. I realized that if I pull out one end, I can sneak around and be on the other side of it. Everyone thought it was pretty funny!

Say Cheese!

We've been going to the ball park 3 days a week to watch my cousins play baseball. It's been pretty hot here in Iowa. They have the best ice there. It's crushed. It feels so good on these warm days. This is the cup it comes in which I like to carry around in my mouth. Yummy!

Posing for the camera. This is my fancy surfer shirt.

See Dada, here's the picture of the family that I carry around and play with. I like to try and stick it in the airplane.

I LOVE mac n cheese! I particularly like it when they let me feed myself with a metal spoon.

This is my cousin Zeek. He's trying to walk like I do. We had a lot of fun running up and down the sidewalks.
