Our Little Prince

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that my birthday video is up and live out on YouTube!

Yeah, I am a superstar!

Check this out:

CHRISTMAS

Well, Christmas was great.  I was just a little confused about it last year, but this year I think I have about got it figured out.  For some reason both years, Mommy and Daddy sat me down on this guys lap named “Santa”.  I wasn’t really comfortable with him, but pictures were taken and he didn’t bother me, so maybe next year I will be better about sitting on his lap.  I’m not really sure yet why I have to sit on his lap, but it somehow seems to be part of this whole Christmas thing. 

About a week before Christmas, Papaw Joe and Mamma Deb brought some gifts over for me and Matthew for Christmas.

On Christmas morning, Daddy and I went down to Fairborn to pick up Matthew.  When we got back, there were a whole bunch of presents in the living room around our Christmas tree (another thing that has to do with this time of year, though I don’t really know why).  We both opened our gifts, and got lots of cool presents, I got a recliner (you will see me lounging in it in a picture below) and Matthew got an Xbox 360.  We also got lots of other cool things.  Some of my favorites were cars.  I got lots of cars, and have been having a blast playing with them. 

After we opened our gifts, we head to Mamma Diane’s and Papaw Bruce’s for Christmas and got more gifts and a meal.  By this time I was getting really good at opening them.  After that we went to Mamma Loretta’s and Papaw Wilbur’s for more gifts and food.

I have decided that Christmas is a pretty cool time of year.

MY 2^ND BIRTHDAY

On Sunday, January 3^rd, a big event occurred.  Yours truly (me) turned two years old.  This was also a fabulous day, just like Christmas…except that I was the only one receiving gifts.  That was pretty awesome, and it made me feel very special.  Papaw Joe and Mamma Deb had my birthday party at their house.  We had pizza, an awesome “Cars” birthday cake, and lots of fun playing with my new toys.  Kristin and Paige showed me how to play with the toys, and Mommy gave me a great big huggy and kissy when 1:47 PM came (she says this is the time I was born).  I really want to thank everyone for coming to my party, and for all the cool gifts I got.  Daddy is working on my birthday video…hopefully it will be posted soon.

MY TWO-YEAR DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT

Thursday night I started getting really sick.  Mommy and Daddy laid me down for a nap around 4:00 PM because I was really tired and wanted to go night-night.  At 6:30 PM, I woke up and got sick all over in my crib.  Daddy came to rescue me and put me in the bathtub while Mommy got to work at cleaning my sheets and stuff up.  Problem is, I just kept getting sick over and over again.  Mommy says she lost count after about seven times.  She was glad I had a doctor’s appointment the next day, so that the doctor could check me out and give me some medicine if I needed it.  After finally going to sleep Thursday night, I slept until 10:30 the next morning when Mommy came in to check on me and was feeling my head.  By the time my doctor’s appointment came that afternoon, I was feeling pretty good but still wasn’t eating anything.  The doctor said that I either had a case of food poisoning, or had a virus.  Either way, that was the last I saw of those sickies.  Mommy says I have been pretty lucky.  It has been a long time since I have gotten sick.

I didn’t have to get any shots!  The doctor said I am good until kindergarten…which to me seems so far away.  Although, Mommy swears she is going to wake up tomorrow and have to take me there.  She says she will miss me.  Anyhow, here are the facts from my doctor’s appointment.

I am exactly 36 inches tall and am the 90^th percentile for my age

I am 31.5 Lbs and in the 86^th percentile for my age

So, I think I am going to be a tall guy just like my daddy.  I’m glad, because Mommy is a shorty.  As my Auntie Chelsea always says…I will probably be taller than her by the time I am six years old.

Well, gotta go run and play! 

Later!

Love,

I just have to tell you all about one of my new favorite things to do!!!  It’s so amazingly fun, and you get free candy doing it!  Are you ready?  It’s called “Trick-Or-Treat!”

Mommy, Daddy, Grammy Diane, Auntie Chelsea, and Cousin Trenten all introduced me to this wonderful event a little over a week ago.  It’s the best thing ever, and I think I am going to do it many times a year.  Maybe I will make a monthly event out of it…who knows, weekly would be good too!  All you have to do is dress up in disguise (my disguise was Charlie Brown), ring a doorbell, hold up your basket and say “Trick-Or-Treat” (Mommy and Daddy did that for me), and get this…the people put something in your basket.  I got lots of neat things…something called chocolate is my favorite, especially this thing called Reese Cups.  I also got suckers, Twizzlers, and many other goodies, including a Halloween pencil.

Anyhow, if you haven’t tried it you need to get out there and do it.  Below you will see pictures of me showing you how it’s done.

First, you get all dressed up…

Then you walk on the sidewalk, holding your Mommy or Daddy’s hand…

Then, you walk up to someone’s house and say “Trick-Or-Treat” and get some candy put into your basket…

You turn around, and head back to the sidewalk…

Then, you do it all again, and again, and again…

It was so much fun, and many people loved my little Snoopy carrier.  If you have a Grammy as cool as mine is, she will make you one if you need it.  If not, I will see if mine will make one for you.  In fact, she’s so cool that she got my Charlie Brown shirt and Snoopy dog too!

I didn’t get to go Trick-Or-Treating with Matt because he wasn’t around for our Trick-Or-Treat night, but that weekend Daddy and Matt went to VanWert and had lots of fun.  I’m kind of glad I didn’t go though…Matt was pretty scary in his disguise.  Take a look!

Well, that’s my update for now.  I think I’m gonna go and sneak into my basket.  All this blogging made me hungry!

Love ya!
